Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Unaudited (A) Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of American Maize-Products Company and its Subsidiaries ("Company") for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected therein. Certain financial information which is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform with the current year's presentation. (B) Supplementary Information Interest costs incurred during the six and three months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 were $6,267,000, $8,412,000, $3,253,000 and $4,259,000, respectively. Interest capitalized during these periods was $301,000, $556,000, $218,000 and $334,000, respectively. For cash flow reporting purposes all highly liquid short-term investments (as denoted on the balance sheet), with maturities of three months or less, are considered cash equivalents. Deposits made for hedging transactions to cover open positions on corn purchases are included in inventory for cash flow reporting purposes. (C) Short-term Debt Short-term debt comprises borrowings on lines of credit from banks. (D) Legal Proceedings The current status of litigation is described in Part II, herein. See also MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS "Results of Operations (Three Months ended June 30, 1994 compared with the Three Months ended June 30, 1993)". MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition (June 30, 1994 compared to December 31, 1993) The Company currently has available $125,000,000 under a bank revolving credit agreement which expires on December 31, 1998 and open lines of credit with banks of $10,000,000. At June 30, 1994, borrowings under these facilities were $24,100,000 and $5,000,000, respectively. Significant uses of cash during the period included capital expenditures of $22,522,000 and increased receivable and inventory levels of $10,649,000 and $8,131,000, respectively. The increase in receivable and inventory levels was primarily attributable to higher selling prices for corn sweeteners and higher corn costs. The Company anticipates approximately $49,000,000 of additional capital spending for the remainder of the year which will be financed through internal cash flow and available credit facilities, as needed. Results of Operations (Six Months ended June 30, 1994 compared with the Six Months ended June 30, 1993) Net sales increased 19.1% in 1994 to $298,780,000 compared to $250,853,000 in 1993. The higher sales reflect an increase in unit sales volumes and pricing of high fructose corn syrup and specialty food starches and higher net sales in the tobacco business. Operating profits were $18,168,000 in 1994 compared to a loss of $6,287,000 in 1993. Operating profits in the Company's corn processing business were significantly higher than last year due primarily to higher sweetener prices. Operating results include restructuring charges of $5,400,000 in 1994 and $12,323,000 in 1993. The charge in 1994 represents the costs associated with consolidations in the Company's tobacco business. The 1994 operating results also include a charge of $4,000,000 for the establishment of a reserve for ongoing patent infringement litigation. See "Results of Operations (Three Months ended June 30, 1994 compared with the Three Months ended June 30, 1993)". Interest expense decreased to $5,966,000 in 1994 compared to $7,856,000 in 1993. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower average interest rates and debt levels. Net income in 1994 was $6,783,000, or $.66 per share, compared to a net loss of $38,649,000, or $4.27 per share, in 1993. Results for 1993 include an after tax charge of $27,200,000, or $3.00 per share, to reflect the cumulative effect of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" and No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". Also included in the 1993 results was an extraordinary loss of $2,862,000, or $.32 per share, relating to the early extinguishment of the Company's 12% senior subordinated debentures. Results of Operations (Three Months ended June 30, 1994 compared with the Three Months ended June 30, 1993) Net sales increased 18.5% in 1994 to $160,941,000 compared to $135,847,000 in 1993. The higher sales reflect an increase in unit sales volumes and pricing of high fructose corn syrup and specialty food starches. Operating profits were $13,810,000 in 1994 compared to a loss of $2,155,000 in 1993. Operating profits in the Company's corn processing business were significantly higher than last year due primarily to higher sweetener prices; operating results in the tobacco business increased in part due to merger related cost reductions. The 1994 operating results include a charge of $4,000,000 for the establishment of a reserve for ongoing patent infringement litigation. The reserve was established on the assumption that the ultimate damage award will be based on a reasonable royalty. The potential exists, however, for the final judgment to be significantly higher than the recorded reserve. Due to the complexity of the litigation, management is unable to reasonably estimate the extent to which a final judgment may exceed the reserve. Management believes that the ultimate judgment could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a future period but would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. See Part II Item 1. "Legal Proceedings". The 1993 operating results included restructuring charges of $8,323,000. The charges principally reflect the cost of consolidation and modernization programs in the Company's business units, divestiture of non-performing assets and organizational changes. Interest expense decreased to $3,035,000 in 1994 compared to $3,925,000 in 1993. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower average interest rates and debt levels. The net income in 1994 was $6,100,000, or $.60 per share, compared to a loss of $3,621,000, or $.35 per share, in 1993. Results for 1993 include restructuring charges of $8,323,000 ($5,320,000 after tax, or $.52 per share). PART II Item 1. Legal Proceedings Grain Processing Corporation v. American Maize-Products Company On June 27, 1994, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana denied the Company's motion seeking a reconsideration of the court's previous ruling that the patent owned by Grain Processing Corporation ("GPC") was valid. A hearing date of July 10, 1995 has been set to determine the amount of damages that American Maize will be required to pay to GPC. GPC is contending that it should receive damages based on its lost profits on products it would have sold except for the infringement. The Company contends that any damages awarded should be based on a reasonable royalty rather than lost profits, because GPC never sold the patented product. The law on that issue is in conflict at present. During the second quarter the Company established a reserve in an amount which it considers appropriate based on its contention that damages should be based on a reasonable royalty. Except as described above, no reportable events have occurred which would require modification of the discussion under Legal Proceedings set forth in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, and in its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 1994.

Item 5. Other Information Agreements Affecting Board Membership As disclosed in the Company's March 25, 1994 proxy statement, the Class B Common Stock has the power to elect 70% of the Company's Board of Directors. GIH Corp. owns 47.3% of the Class B Common Stock. All the shares of GIH Corp. are held directly by, or in various trusts for the benefit of, William Ziegler, III and his sister, Mrs. Helen Steinkraus. Control over GIH Corp. is the subject of litigation in New York Surrogate's Court brought by the children of Mrs. Helen Steinkraus challenging the prior distribution of the controlling share of GIH Corp. common stock to a trust for the benefit of William Ziegler, III. On April 4, 1994, the New York Surrogate's Court issued a decision in favor of Mr. Ziegler, and Mrs. Steinkraus' children have filed an appeal. Pending final resolution of the litigation, Mr. Ziegler, Mrs. Steinkraus and GIH Corp. have agreed in March, 1991 that their shares of American Maize will be voted for directors nominated by the Company in accordance with the Succession Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors in March, 1991. The resolutions provide for Board seats for Mr. Ziegler and Mrs. Steinkraus or their designees and require that the majority of the Board consist of directors who are neither employees of the Company nor members of the Ziegler or Steinkraus families.
