(2) LONG-TERM DEBT
In May 1996, the Company amended its existing revolving credit facility
(RCF) to increase the maximum available borrowings to $350,000,000 and
extend the commitment termination date to May 30, 2001. The amended RCF
provides for borrowings under a number of options and may be reduced or
canceled at any time at the Company's option. There were no amounts
outstanding under this facility at June 30, 1996.
The amended RCF contains financial covenants establishing a maximum total
debt to capitalization percentage and a minimum consolidated net worth. The
Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 1996.

======== ======= ======== ========
Acquisitions largely contributed to domestic revenue growth, along with
increased penetration in the automotive markets by the automotive businesses and
new product introductions in the construction businesses for both the three
month and six month periods. Operating income for the three month period
increased primarily due to higher revenues without a corresponding increase in
costs in the automotive and construction businesses, while acquisitions also
contributed to the operating income growth for the six month period. Margins
declined in both the three month and six month periods due to lower margins at
acquired businesses (primarily Hobart Brothers and Medalist Industries),
partially offset in the year-to-date period by margin increases in the
automotive and construction businesses.
For the three month and six month periods, international revenues and operating
income increased primarily due to acquisitions in the European automotive
businesses. For the three month period, margins were lower due to soft demand in
the construction businesses and price decreases in the French automotive
markets. A nonrecurring goodwill write-off of $3.7 million in the first quarter
of 1995 contributed to the 1996 year-to-date operating income growth and margin
increase.
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS AND CONSUMABLES SEGMENT
Businesses in this segment manufacture longer lead-time systems and related
consumables for consumer and industrial packaging; marking, labeling and
identification systems; industrial spray coating equipment and systems; and
quality assurance equipment and systems. The largest markets served by this
segment are general industrial, food and beverage and industrial capital goods.

Domestic revenues increased for the three month period primarily due to
higher sales in the quality measurement businesses. For the six month
period, domestic revenues increased primarily due to acquisitions in the
consumer packaging and finishing systems businesses as well as revenue growth in
the Specialty Industrial Packaging and Quality Measurement Group. For both the
three month and six month periods, operating income and margins increased due to
new products and lower raw material costs in the Signode packaging businesses,
increased revenues in the specialty industrial packaging businesses as a result
of improved demand in the domestic packaging markets, and lower operating costs
in the quality measurement businesses.
International revenues and operating income in the three month and six month
periods increased primarily due to acquisitions in the specialty industrial
packaging businesses and to a lesser degree the Signode packaging operations.
The European finishing systems businesses also contributed to the growth as they
continued to introduce new products. For the second quarter of
1996, operating income was flat and margins declined as a result of
restructuring costs and a continuing soft demand in the European steel,
construction and appliance markets served by the European specialty industrial
packaging businesses. The above margin declines were partially offset by
improved margins for the Signode packaging, consumer packaging and finishing
systems operations. For the six month period, the majority of the 1996 increase
in operating income and margins was due to 1995 nonrecurring costs of $9.6
million, which primarily related to a write-off of goodwill.
LEASING AND INVESTMENTS SEGMENT
The Company has historically had strong cash flows from its manufacturing
operations. Although most of this cash has been reinvested in the manufacturing
businesses, both through investments in capital equipment and through
acquisitions, some of the excess cash has been used to make financial
investments. These investments primarily include leveraged and direct
financing leases of equipment, mortgage-related investments, investments in
properties and property developments, and low-income housing investments.
In 1996, due to the increased significance of these investments, the Company's
leasing and investments business began reporting as a separate segment.
Accordingly, certain reclassifications of amounts in the 1995 statement of
income have been made. For the Leasing and Investments segment, operating
revenues and operating income for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $25.9
million and $18.8 million, respectively, and identifiable assets at December 31,
1995 were $604.5 million.

Margin 50.5% 85.6% 48.1% 74.9%
For the three month and six month periods, revenues and operating income
increased primarily due to the commercial mortgage transaction entered into at
year-end 1995 (see Financial Position section for discussion). Year-to-date
operating income in 1995 included a nonrecurring gain on the sale of equipment
under leveraged lease of $4.0 million. Margins declined for both the second
quarter and the first half of 1996 from the comparable periods in 1995 as a
result of lower margins for the commercial mortgage transaction versus the
transactions in the prior year. The 1996 year-to-date margins are more
indicative of the segment's performance.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 66.1% in the first
half of 1996 versus 65.2% in the first six months of 1995, mainly due to lower
gross margins for acquired companies. Selling, administrative and research and
development expenses decreased to 17.9% of revenues in the first half of 1996
versus 19.2% in the first half of 1995, primarily due to higher 1995
nonrecurring costs of approximately $14.0 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased slightly to $14.9 million in the first half of 1996
from $14.0 million in the first half of 1995, primarily due to debt assumed in
acquisitions and increased commercial paper borrowings.
OTHER INCOME
Other income decreased to $2.2 million for the first half of 1996 from $3.7
million in 1995. This decrease is primarily due to debt prepayment costs related
to acquired companies in 1996 and higher 1996 currency translation losses,
partially offset by higher gains on the sale of operations and the sale of plant
and equipment.
NET INCOME
Net income of $229.1 million ($1.85 per share) in the first half of 1996 was
26.4% higher than the 1995 first half net income of $181.3 million ($1.55 per
share). Foreign currency fluctuations had no material impact on revenues or
earnings in the first half of 1996 versus 1995.

Net working capital at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is summarized as

========== ========== ========
Current Ratio 1.74 1.80
========== ==========
The increase in trade receivables in the first half of 1996 was primarily due to
1996 acquisitions and higher revenues in the second quarter of 1996 versus the
fourth quarter of 1995. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased at June
30, 1996 versus year-end 1995 as a result of overall business growth and 1996
acquisitions.
In the first half of 1996, long-term debt of $80.7 million assumed in
acquisitions was repaid.
In December 1995, the Company acquired a pool of mortgage-related assets in
exchange for a nonrecourse note payable of $256,000,000, preferred stock of a
subsidiary of $20,000,000 and cash of $80,000,000. The mortgage-related assets
relate to commercial real estate located throughout the U.S. and include 26
subperforming, variable rate, balloon loans and five foreclosed properties. In
conjunction with this transaction, the Company simultaneously entered into a
ten-year swap agreement and other related agreements whereby the Company will
pay a third party the portion of the interest and net operating cash flow from
the mortgage-related assets in excess of $9,000,000 per year and a portion
(estimated to be $197,000,000 at December 31, 1995) of the proceeds from the
disposition of the mortgage-related assets and principal repayments, in exchange
for the third party making payments to the Company equal to the contractual
principal and interest payments on the nonrecourse note payable. In addition, in
the event that the pool of mortgage-related assets does not generate income of
$9,000,000 a year, the Company has a collateral right against the cash flow
generated by a separate pool of mortgage-related assets (owned by a third party
in which the Company has a minimal interest) which has a fair value of
approximately $749,000,000 at June 30, 1996. The Company entered into the swap
and other related agreements in order to reduce its credit and interest rate
risks relative to the mortgage-related assets.
The Company expects to recover its net investment in the mortgage-related assets
and net swap receivable of $100,000,000 (net of the related nonrecourse note
payable) through its expected net cash flow of $9,000,000 per year for ten years
and its estimated share of the proceeds from disposition of the mortgage-related
assets and principal repayments of $118,000,000. The Company believes that
because the swap counter party is Aaa-rated and that significant collateral
secures the net annual cash flow of $9,000,000, its risk of not recovering that
portion of its $100,000,000 net investment has been significantly mitigated. The
Company currently believes that the disposition proceeds will be sufficient to
recover the remainder of its net investment. However, there can be no assurances
that all of the net investment will be recovered.
