BUSINESS GENERAL McClain Industries, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("McClain-Michigan"), together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of a diversified line of dump truck bodies and solid waste handling equipment. Dump truck bodies are assemblies attached to truck frames and used to carry and dump solid materials such as dirt or gravel. Solid waste handling equipment is used for the temporary storage, transportation and compaction of residential, commercial and industrial waste and recycling materials. In addition, the Company operates a steel tube mill to manufacture some of its steel tubing needs. The Company also provides coiled steel cutting and warehousing services for its own manufacturing operations and, on a limited basis, for sale to third-party customers. BACKGROUND McClain-Michigan was incorporated in 1968 and became a publicly-traded company in 1973. It currently has: (i) five significant wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: McClain of Ohio, Inc. ("McClain-Ohio"); McClain of Georgia, Inc. ("McClain-Georgia"); Shelby Steel Processing Co. ("Shelby Steel"); McClain Tube Company (d/b/a Quality Tubing) ("Tube"); and McClain EPCO, Inc. ("EPCO"); (ii) one wholly-owned lease financing subsidiary: McClain Group Leasing, Inc. ("Leasing"); and (iii) one wholly-owned holding company subsidiary: Galion Holding Company ("Galion Holding"). Galion Holding is the sole shareholder of two additional operating subsidiaries, McClain E-Z Pack, Inc. ("E-Z Pack") and Galion Dump Bodies, Inc. ("Galion Dump Bodies"). McClain-Michigan, E-Z Pack and Galion Dump Bodies collectively own all of the issued and outstanding stock of McClain Group Sales, Inc. ("Sales"), which is the exclusive sales representative of McClain-Michigan, McClain-Ohio, McClain-Georgia, E-Z Pack and Galion Dump Bodies. All of these companies are Michigan corporations, except for McClain-Georgia, which is a Georgia corporation, and EPCO, which is a New York corporation. The names of several of these companies were changed during the past year in order to more closely identify them with McClain-Michigan. Leasing was formerly known as Prime Leasing Corporation; McClain-Ohio was formerly known as McClain Industries of Ohio, Inc.; E-Z Pack was formerly known as Galion Solid Waste Equipment, Inc.; Sales was formerly known as M.E.G. Equipment Sales, Inc.; and EPCO was formerly known as EPCO Manufacturing Corp. EPCO was acquired during July 1995. See ITEM 1. BUSINESS, Acquisition of EPCO, below. McClain-Michigan, McClain-Ohio, McClain-Georgia and EPCO are sometimes collectively referred to as "McClain"; Galion Holding, E-Z Pack and Galion Dump Bodies are sometimes collectively referred to as "Galion"; and, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company mean McClain-Michigan and all of the entities owned or controlled by McClain-Michigan. -2- 3 The Company's executive offices are located at 6200 Elmridge Road, Sterling Heights, Michigan 48310 and its telephone number is (810) 264-3611. ACQUISITION OF EPCO On July 17, 1995, McClain-Michigan purchased all of the issued and outstanding common stock of EPCO in exchange for stock of McClain with a market value of $1,000,000 and an agreement to issue additional McClain stock over the next 3 years with a market value of up to $500,000 if sales of EPCO balers exceed specified amounts during such years. The stock issued to the former EPCO shareholders has not been registered under any federal or state securities laws and, consequently, its transfer is restricted. EPCO manufactures and sells high quality vertical downstroke balers primarily for cardboard and plastics, compacting such waste for recycling. During its fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, EPCO had operating income of approximately $10,600 on net sales of approximately $2.5 million. Acquiring EPCO permits the Company to offer its customers a more complete line of solid waste handling equipment, satisfy customers which seek to purchase balers and compactors as a unit, and remain competitive in the industry. PRODUCTS The Company manufactures and markets dump truck bodies and four major solid waste handling equipment product lines: (1) containers; (2) compactors and baling equipment; (3) garbage and recycling truck bodies; and (4) transfer trailers. Dump Truck Bodies and Hoists Galion Dump Bodies manufactures steel dump truck bodies varying in capacity from two to twenty-five cubic yards at its Winesburg, Ohio facility. McClain-Michigan and McClain-Georgia, under license from Galion Dump Bodies, also manufacture dump truck bodies at its Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Macon, Georgia facilities, respectively. Dump truck bodies are assemblies which are attached to a truck's frame or chassis, to allow the truck to carry and dump solid materials such as dirt, gravel or waste materials. Hoists are the hydraulic lift mechanisms used to tilt the dump body. Trucks with a dump body and hoist are commonly seen in use as "dump trucks". The products manufactured by Galion Dump Bodies are sold under the registered trademark "Galion". The trademark registration, if not renewed, will expire in the year 2001. Sales of dump truck bodies accounted for approximately 21% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. -3- 4 Containers Detachable Roll-Off Containers and Roll-Off Hoists. McClain-Michigan, McClain-Ohio and McClain-Georgia manufacture several types of detachable roll-off containers and roll-off hoists at the Company's facilities in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Macon, Georgia, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Galion, Ohio. Detachable roll-off containers vary in capacity from ten to forty-five cubic yards and are transported with their contents to recycling centers, incinerators or landfill sites. Roll-off hoists consist of frames mounted on truck chassis which are hydraulically operated to load, transport and dump roll-off containers. Roll-off hoists are advertised and sold under the trade name "MAGNA-HOIST". Sales of detachable roll-off containers and roll-off hoists accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Intermodal, Water-Tight and Sludge Containers. The Company manufactures various types of intermodal, water-tight and sludge containers at the Company's facilities in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Macon, Georgia, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Galion, Ohio. Intermodal containers vary in capacity from nineteen cubic yards to thirty-five cubic yards and are designed for highway, railroad and marine movement of waste products. Water-tight containers vary in capacity from ten to forty cubic yards and are designed for highway movement of wet waste. Sludge containers vary in capacity from ten to seventy cubic yards and are designed for highway movement of slurry type waste products. Sales of these containers accounted for approximately 7% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Compactors and Baling Equipment The Company manufactures compactors at its Sterling Heights, Michigan facility. Compactors consist of a compaction unit and separate power source. Compaction units force deposited refuse through an opening at one end of the unit into a roll-off body coupled to the compaction unit. When the roll-off body is filled, the compactor is detached and the roll-off body is removed for dumping. The Company also manufactures unitized compaction systems consisting of a compactor and roll-off container manufactured as a single unit. Compactors are sold under the trade name "MAGNUM" and unitized compactor systems are sold under the trade name "UNIMAG". Sales of compactors and unitized compaction systems accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. EPCO manufactures at its Buffalo, New York facility 24 models of balers which compact plastic and paper products, primarily cardboard. Balers are either vertical downstroke or closed door horizontal balers. Sales of balers for the approximately 2-1/2 months since the date of acquisition accounted for approximately 1% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Garbage and Recycling Truck Bodies E-Z Pack manufactures at its Galion, Ohio facility traditional garbage truck bodies comprised of front, rear and side loading truck bodies and a recycling truck body used -4- 5 in solid waste handling and disposal. The front loading truck bodies vary in capacity from thirty-two cubic yards to forty-three cubic yards, the rear loading truck bodies vary in capacity from eighteen cubic yards to thirty-one cubic yards, and the side loading truck bodies vary in capacity from twenty-nine cubic yards to thirty-nine cubic yards. The recycling truck bodies vary in capacity from thirty cubic yards to forty cubic yards. The products manufactured by E-Z Pack are sold under the registered trademark "E-Z Pack". Within this line, E-Z Pack sells its front loading truck bodies under the trademarks "Goliath", "Goliath II", and "Apollo". The side loading truck bodies and the recycling truck bodies are principally identified by the E-Z Pack name only. These trademarks will expire in the year 2001, unless renewed. Sales of garbage and recycling truck bodies accounted for approximately 20% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. Transfer Trailers McClain-Ohio manufactures at its Galion, Ohio facility, various types of steel and aluminum transfer trailers, including open-top walking floor trailers, closed-top walking floor trailers, ejection trailers and open-top tipper trailers, varying in capacity from thirty cubic yards to 124 cubic yards. Transfer trailers are used to transport compacted solid waste from transfer stations to landfills or incinerators. Sales of transfer trailers accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTION For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Company's consolidated sales were divided approximately 43% to distributors, 54% to solid waste handling companies and 3% to governmental agencies. The Company traditionally has not depended on product sales to any one customer and no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. However, for the year ended September 30, 1993, sales to WMX Technologies, Inc. constituted approximately 11% of the Company's net sales. The Company has no contracts with any of its customers and, accordingly, sells its products pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company delivers its products to its customers through the use of its own trucks or common carriers. The Company obtains its municipal as well as certain private contracts through the process of competitive bidding. There can be no assurance that municipalities or others will continue to solicit bids, or if they do, that the Company will continue to be successful in having its bids accepted. Additionally, inherent in the competitive bidding process is the risk that if a bid is submitted and a contract is subsequently awarded, actual performance costs may exceed the projected costs upon which the submitted bid or contract price was based. -5- 6 Although historically foreign sales have not accounted for a significant portion of the Company's revenues, the Company anticipates that a greater portion of its future net sales will be derived from sales of its products in foreign markets. SALES AND MARKETING Historically, the Company's products have been marketed by the Company's executive officers and sales personnel who have worked closely with customers to solicit orders and to render technical assistance and advice. The Company's executive officers will continue to devote a significant amount of time to developing and maintaining continuing relations with the Company's customers. The Company operates Sales, a separate wholly-owned corporation, to act as the Company's exclusive sales representative. All of the Company's sales efforts are centralized through Sales rather than being handled by the separate product divisions. The Company also engages independent distributors and dealers in various regions throughout the United States and certain foreign countries, for marketing its products to customers. The Company's dealers are generally responsible in their respective geographic markets for identifying customers and soliciting customer orders. As of December 1, 1995, there were approximately 143 authorized Company dealers located in numerous states and six authorized Company dealers, licensees and commissioned district managers in four foreign countries, each of which is independently owned. The Company is dependent on such dealers for a significant portion of its revenues. These dealers typically specialize in specific products and areas and, accordingly, have specific knowledge of and contacts in particular markets. The Company believes that its dealers have enhanced and will continue to enhance the scope of the Company's marketing and sales efforts and have, to a certain extent, also enabled the Company to avoid certain significant costs associated with creating a more extensive direct sales network. The Company advertises its products under trade names and under its name in trade journals and brochures. Other marketing efforts include articles in trade publications, attendance at trade shows and presentations by the Company's personnel at industry trade conferences. The Company, through Leasing, also provides lease financing on a limited basis for purchases of the Company's products. At September 30, 1995, Leasing held lease receivables the present value of which aggregates approximately $3.6 million. RAW MATERIALS The Company is dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers for the raw materials and a significant portion of the parts it uses in the manufacture of its products. The major raw materials used by the Company are steel in sheet, plate, structural and tubular form and aluminum in sheet and extruded form. The Company purchases its steel, principally in coils, and its sheet and extruded aluminum from domestic mills and warehouses. Coiled steel is received by the Company at various manufacturing facilities -6- 7 where it is then cut, bent, sheared and formed for assembly by welding. Electric and hydraulic components incorporated into the power units of compactors, balers and hoists used with dump bodies manufactured by the Company are brand name items purchased from various sources and assembled by the Company or to their specifications by outside sources. The assembled products are then painted to customers' specifications. While the Company attempts to maintain alternative sources for the Company's raw materials and believes that multiple sources are currently available for all of the raw materials (other than aluminum extrusions) that it uses, the Company's business is generally subject to periodic shortages of raw materials which could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company currently purchases all of its extruded aluminum from one source. The Company is unaware of other potential providers of extruded aluminum which meets the Company's requirements and, therefore, the failure of the Company's extruded aluminum supplier to continue to supply the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although to date the Company has been able to obtain sufficient quantities of extruded aluminum to satisfy its manufacturing needs, a prolonged shortage of such raw material could adversely affect the Company. In addition, the Company currently purchases all of its hydraulic cylinders from only a few major suppliers. The failure by any of such suppliers to continue to supply the Company with cylinders on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could also have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company generally has no supply agreements with any of its suppliers and, accordingly, generally purchases raw materials pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Failure or delay by suppliers in supplying necessary raw materials to the Company could adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain and deliver its products on a timely and competitive basis. In addition, the Company has experienced price fluctuations for the raw materials that it purchases, particularly with respect to steel and aluminum. Any significant price fluctuations in the future could also have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company uses a stringent forecasting and purchasing system to monitor the quantity and cost of necessary raw materials. Such cost controls allow the Company to minimize its operating costs by purchasing from the lowest priced suppliers the appropriate amount of raw materials in light of the Company's needs. The Company often orders raw materials in amounts in excess of its anticipated short-term needs in order to take advantage of price discounts available on large volume purchases of raw materials. To reduce its cost of raw materials, the Company has been processing coiled steel and manufacturing some of its own tubing, rather than purchasing tubing and processed sheet steel from third parties. The Company believes that it is the only manufacturer of dump truck bodies and solid waste handling equipment to process coiled steel and to operate a steel tube mill. -7- 8 Steel Processing Shelby Steel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, receives coiled steel and either warehouses or cuts and processes the steel at its River Rouge, Michigan facility to prescribed specifications. In addition to processing coiled steel for use by the Company, Shelby Steel also offers steel processing and warehousing services to third parties. Shelby Steel's ability to warehouse customers' steel attracts customers such as steel brokers who do not maintain facilities of their own to warehouse steel. Its steel processing and warehousing sales are generally limited to customers in the Detroit metropolitan area. Sales to third parties represented 78.6%, 86.7% and 87.7% of Shelby Steel's business and 1.2%, 2.0% and 2.8% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Tube Manufacturing Tube, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, began operating its tube manufacturing line in the Company's Kalamazoo facility in mid-1994. The facility receives coiled steel, slits the coil to proper width and forms it into square and rectangular tubing. The tubing produced by this facility is expected to eventually provide the Company with 90% of its steel tubing requirements. Currently, it provides approximately 80% of such requirements. COMPETITION The Company faces intense competition in the solid waste handling equipment and dump truck bodies industries. Certain of the Company's competitors offer as wide a range of products, have greater market share and financial, marketing, manufacturing and other resources than the Company. At present, the Company's order backlogs are approximately two to four weeks. In addition, the Company believes that several of its competitors have added or are in the process of adding additional manufacturing capacity, which could reduce order backlogs and price levels, and consequently adversely affect the Company. Moreover, the absence of highly sophisticated technology results in a number of small regional companies entering the industry periodically and competing with the Company. Although the Company believes that its products are superior to those of most of its competitors because of the quality and amount of steel used in its products, consumers generally find the products relatively interchangeable. Consequently, price, product availability and delivery, design and manufacturing quality and service are the principal means of competition. The Company believes that it can continue to compete and further strengthen its competitive position through proper pricing, marketing and cost-effective distribution of the Company's products. The steel processing industry is also highly competitive, with quality, price and delivery the principal means of competition. The Company believes that it will generally continue to maintain its competitive position in the marketplace with respect to steel -8- 9 processing. Shelby Steel's ability to warehouse customers' steel attracts customers such as steel brokers who do not maintain facilities of their own to warehouse steel. BACKLOG AND INVENTORY The Company generally produces solid waste handling equipment and dump truck bodies pursuant to customer purchase orders. The Company includes in its backlog only firm product orders, which are subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without penalty. The Company's backlog was approximately $8.6 million and $16.6 million at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Substantially all of the Company's backlog is delivered within four weeks of the Company's receipt of purchase orders. Due to numerous factors, including termination of orders, rescheduling, possible change orders and delays, which affect production and delivery of the Company's products, there can be no assurance as to if or when cash receipts will be recognized from the Company's backlog. In addition, year to year comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Although most of the Company's sales are based on orders for goods to be manufactured, the Company nevertheless carries certain amounts of finished goods inventory in order to meet customer delivery dates. In addition, from time to time, the Company manufactures units in excess of ordered units to "round out" production runs or to maintain base stock levels. At September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company had inventory of $31.2 million, $23.3 million and $18.4 million, respectively. EMPLOYEES The Company had approximately 540 employees as of December 1, 1995. Sixty-three of the Company's hourly employees are represented by the McClain Hourly Employees' Union pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement which expires September 1996. The 137 hourly employees of E-Z Pack are represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement which expires June 12, 1997. The 54 hourly employees of McClain-Ohio are represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement which expires in November, 1996. On February 23, 1995 the National Labor Relations Board conducted an election in response to a petition filed by the Shopmen's Local Union No. 616 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers (AFL-CIO) (the "Union") to represent the hourly employees at the McClain-Georgia facility in Macon, Georgia. Fifty-one employees or former employees voted, of which 21 voted against Union representation and 19 voted in favor of Union representation. The ballots of 11 employees were challenged as ineligible. The Union filed charges against the Company asserting that it committed various unfair labor practices which affected the election results and that the challenged ballots should be counted. It seeks an order that it be recognized as the exclusive bargaining agent for the hourly employees and that certain former employees be awarded backpay, lost benefits, and reinstatement. A trial regarding these charges was held during October 1995. The Company does not believe that Union certification, if it occurs, or an adverse final decision regarding the charges filed by the Union, would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes -9- 10 that relations with the hourly employees at McClain of Georgia are generally satisfactory. There have been no work stoppages due to labor difficulties. ENVIRONMENTAL The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. Inherent in manufacturing operations and in owning real estate is the risk of environmental liabilities as a result of both current and past operations, which cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with environmental regulatory compliance in its business. During 1994, the Company engaged the services of an outside consulting firm to perform environmental compliance assessments of all of the Company's facilities (the "Audits"). The Audits identified a number of regulatory compliance issues associated with hazardous waste management and reporting, wastewater and stormwater requirements, underground storage tank registration and reporting requirements and air permitting requirements. The anticipated cost to remedy these compliance deficiencies was not deemed material by the Company. Since the date of the Audits, the Company has begun to implement procedures and take requisite actions to remedy the deficiencies identified in the Audits so that its facilities will comply with all applicable and material environmental laws and regulations. One of the properties the Company acquired as part of its acquisition (the "Galion Acquisition") on July 27, 1992 of all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of the Peabody Galion Division of Peabody International Corporation ("Peabody") needs environmental remediation as reflected in a Phase II environmental study issued in September, 1993 by Stearns & Wheler in connection with the Galion Acquisition. This Phase II study indicates that there is no groundwater contamination on the property but that certain parcels of the property are contaminated with volatile organic compounds and excess levels of PCBs. The purchase agreement relating to the Galion Acquisition provides that the Company is responsible only for the first $300,000 of costs and expenses, if any, incurred for such remediation, and Peabody is responsible for any costs or expenses in excess of such amount. The actual costs of remediation have not yet been determined. The indemnity provisions of the purchase agreement may not cover environmental liabilities arising from contamination found off-site. Although there is some indication that such contamination exists, the Phase II environmental study did not evaluate off-site liability issues. If such off-site contamination exists and is traceable to the property, Galion Holding could be responsible for some or all of the remediation costs associated with such contamination. On July 17, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of EPCO Manufacturing Corporation ("EPCO") located in the State of New York. In connection with that acquisition, the Company performed environmental site and compliance assessments of both the real property then being used by EPCO for operations and the property to -10- 11 which EPCO was moving. While the assessments did identify minor environmental compliance issues, none of the issues was material. Subsurface contamination concerns were identified only with respect to the property to which EPCO was moving, a property with confirmed soil and groundwater contamination. However, the owner of the new EPCO facility has agreed to indemnify EPCO for any pre-existing soil or groundwater contamination. State and local agencies have become increasingly active in the environmental area. The increased regulation by multiple agencies can be expected to increase the Company's future environmental costs. In particular, properties under federal and state scrutiny frequently result in significant clean-up costs and litigation expenses related to a party's clean-up obligation. However, the Company believes that the ever-increasing waste stream and the continuing initiatives of government authorities relating to environmental and waste disposal problems, including restrictions on landfill locations and operations and extensive regulation relating to the disposal of waste, create significant opportunities for companies in the solid waste handling equipment industry. In addition, the trend towards classifying more materials as "semi-hazardous" or "hazardous" waste may be expected to continue to make handling such materials more complex, thereby further facilitating the market for solid waste handling products. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES In the aggregate, the Company owns or leases approximately 866,500 square feet of real property located in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Oklahoma and New York. The Company owns three facilities in Michigan, three facilities in Ohio, one facility in Georgia and one facility in Oklahoma. The properties that the Company owns or leases consist of the following: OWNED SQUARE LOCATION OR LEASED FOOTAGE -------- --------- -------- Sterling Heights, Michigan Owned 37,000 Sterling Heights, Michigan Leased 18,000 Kalamazoo, Michigan Owned 55,000 River Rouge, Michigan Owned 50,000 Galion, Ohio Owned 365,000 Winesburg, Ohio Owned 67,500 Winesburg, Ohio Owned 16,000 Winesburg, Ohio Owned 15,200 Macon, Georgia Owned 114,500 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Owned 100,000 Buffalo, New York Leased 28,300 The Company's main office and manufacturing facilities are located in a 37,000 square foot facility situated on 8 2/3 acres in Sterling Heights, Michigan owned by McClain-Michigan. This facility is used to manufacture roll-off containers, roll-off hoists and compactors. McClain-Michigan also owns a 55,000 square foot facility located in -11- 12 Kalamazoo, Michigan which is home to the Company's tube mill. Shelby Steel owns a 50,000 square foot steel processing facility on six acres of land in River Rouge, Michigan, where all of its operations are conducted. McClain-Michigan leases, under a verbal month-to-month lease, an 18,000 square foot manufacturing facility also located in Sterling Heights, Michigan from the mother of Messrs. Kenneth and Robert McClain. This facility is used by the Company as a fabrication facility. The monthly rental for this facility is $3,500, with the lessor responsible for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and replacement in case of damage by fire, and the Company responsible for maintenance of the building. The Company believes that the terms and conditions of this lease are comparable to the terms and conditions which would be available from an unrelated party with respect to similar facilities, although other similarly situated unrelated parties would, in all likelihood, require a long-term written lease. E-Z Pack owns three buildings comprising approximately 365,000 square feet situated on approximately 38 acres of land in Galion, Ohio. This three-building facility is the sole location for its manufacturing operations. This facility manufactures front, side and rear loading garbage truck bodies and recycling trucks. Sales's executive offices are located in one of the Galion, Ohio buildings under a lease arrangement and McClain-Ohio leases one of the other buildings at this location. Galion Dump Bodies owns three manufacturing facilities (67,500, 15,200 and 16,000 square feet) situated on 20 acres of land in Winesburg, Ohio where it manufactures dump bodies and hoists. The Company's Georgia facility is an approximately 114,500 square foot manufacturing facility on 13.2 acres in Macon, Georgia. McClain-Georgia manufactures roll-off containers and fabricates and processes steel for its own use in the manufacturing process at this facility. The Company's Oklahoma facility consists of three buildings in Oklahoma City, aggregating 100,000 square feet. This facility is used to fabricate and process steel for its own use and to manufacture roll-off containers. EPCO leases an approximately 28,300 square foot facility outside Buffalo, New York, where it manufacturers balers. McClain-Michigan's Sterling Heights, Michigan facility and McClain-Ohio's Ohio facility are currently operating at approximately 60% of capacity. The Oklahoma facility is currently operating at 50% of capacity. The Georgia facility is currently operating at 55% of capacity. The E-Z Pack portion of the Galion, Ohio facility is currently operating at 70% of capacity. The Winesburg, Ohio facility is currently operating at 75% of capacity. The Kalamazoo, Michigan facility is currently operating at 50% of capacity. The EPCO facility is currently operating at 50% capacity. The determination of the productive capacity on each facility actually used by the Company is a function of the mix of products being produced at such facility and the pricing of such products. The production capacity figures set forth in this paragraph reflect the mix of products presently produced by each facility and the present pricing of such products. The Company enjoys expandable capacity at most of these facilities depending on double-shifting and other performance enhancing activities. -12- 13 The facilities owned and leased by the Company are well maintained and in good operating condition. Its plants and equipment are subject to various liens and encumbrances which collateralize certain obligations. See Notes 5 and 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is from time to time subject to various claims from existing or former employees alleging gender, age or racial discrimination and anti-union activity, none of which are expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company. In addition, as a manufacturer of industrial products, the Company is, from time to time, subjected to various product liability claims. Such claims typically involve personal injury or wrongful death associated with the use or misuse of the Company's products. While such claims have not been material to the Company in any year and the Company believes that it maintains adequate product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on terms acceptable to the Company. Any product liability claim not fully covered by insurance, as well as any adverse publicity from a product liability claim, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is currently defending a few legal proceedings involving product liability claims relating to McClain, Galion Dump and E-Z Pack brand products. Galion Holding, pursuant to an indemnification it provided Peabody Galion Division of Peabody International Corporation ("Peabody")in connection with the Galion Acquisition, is currently defending a number of legal proceedings involving product liability claims arising out of products manufactured by Peabody prior to the date of the Galion Acquisition. These claims are also covered by insurance. Although the Company has already settled many of these cases and the Company believes that it can continue to successfully resolve these product liability claims, there can be no assurance that the Company can continue to do so. The Company is not presently a party to any material legal proceedings except as described above. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

This increase in sales for Fiscal 1995 was attributable to container sales, exclusive of intermodal and sludge containers, increasing by $2.8 million for the period and garbage and recycling truck bodies sales increasing by $3.6 million for the period. Sales of other product lines remained static or declined in comparison to Fiscal 1994; most notably trailer sales which declined $2.3 million and intermodal and sludge containers sales which declined $1.8 million. The decline in trailer sales is attributable to a temporary over supply of trailers by end users and a restructuring of the Company's sales force. Management expects the restructuring of the trailer sales force to have a positive effect on sales commencing in the second quarter of Fiscal 1996. The decline in intermodal and sludge containers sales is primarily due to an over supply of intermodal and sludge containers in rental fleet markets. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 77.68% for Fiscal 1995 compared to 78.12% for Fiscal 1994. The gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 22.32% for Fiscal 1995 compared to 21.88% for 1994. The gross profit margins for Fiscal 1995 are -17- 18 lower than originally forecasted as a result of increased costs incurred for raw materials, principally steel and aluminum which were not fully recoverable due to intense pricing competition within the Solid Waste Industry, and start-up expenses incurred in transferring production of one of the product lines from one manufacturing facility to another facility. Steel prices declined in the latter part of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1995 and this decline is expected to have a positive effect on gross profit margins in the latter part of the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased modestly to 14.19% for Fiscal 1995 compared to 13.48% for Fiscal 1994. Interest expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 3.01% of net sales for Fiscal 1995 compared to 1.67% of net sales in Fiscal 1994 as a result of increased long-term debt. The increase in long-term debt resulted from acquiring approximately $4 million of fixed assets and supporting higher inventory. Machinery and equipment was acquired to replace existing equipment to enhance productivity levels. Higher inventories of raw materials and supplies were maintained in order to be more responsive to customer needs and to reduce delivery time of finished goods. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 2.99% for Fiscal 1995 compared to 4.12% for Fiscal 1994. The decline in net income is attributable to increased interest expense and increased prices of raw materials which were not recoverable through higher selling prices. Comparison of year ended September 30, 1994 to year ended September 30, 1993 Net sales increased 28.11% to $79.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994") from $61.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993 ("Fiscal 1993"), primarily due to increased unit sales attributable to the Company's increased selling efforts and the general economic recovery. Intermodal, water-tight and sludge container sales accounted for 10.30% of the sales increase for such period, dump truck body sales accounted for 6.94%, and trailer sales accounted for 6.68% of the sales increase for such period. For Fiscal 1994, sales of dump truck bodies amounted to $18 million or 22.80% of net sales, sales of garbage and recycling truck bodies amounted to $18 million or 22.77% of net sales and sales of the Company's other solid waste handling equipment amounted to $38 million or 47.96% of net sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 78.12% for Fiscal 1994 compared to 78.13% for Fiscal 1993. The Company's historical gross margins prior to the Galion Acquisition have approximated 25%. The inclusion of sales and cost of sales of E-Z Pack has had the effect of reducing the Company's consolidated gross margins by approximately 3%. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1994, the Company increased the selling prices on all E-Z Pack product lines and, as a result of this action and other factors, the Company anticipates an increase in the gross margins commensurate with historical gross margins for the Company as a whole. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales declined to 13.48% for Fiscal 1994 compared to 15% for Fiscal 1993 primarily due to the absorption of a higher percentage of such costs, which are generally fixed in nature, by the higher sales volume. Interest expense increased 87% to $1.3 million in Fiscal 1994 from $707,000 in Fiscal 1993. The higher interest expense is attributable primarily to higher prevailing interest rates, additional borrowings as a result of increased inventories associated with increased sales activity and the purchase of -18- 19 additional machinery and equipment. Net income was $3.3 million for Fiscal 1994 compared to $2.1 million for Fiscal 1993. As a result of the increased sales volume and the Company's continuing cost-cutting efforts, the Company's net income as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.12% for Fiscal 1994 compared to 3.42% for Fiscal 1993. Such cost-cutting efforts include maintaining stringent cost controls over the purchase of raw materials and improving labor and production efficiencies. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital needs and capital expenditures continued to increase significantly during Fiscal 1995 primarily due to increased inventories and purchases of machinery and equipment. Higher inventory levels were maintained by the Company in order to be more customer responsive, and machinery and equipment purchases were made to improve production efficiencies. The Company had working capital of approximately $33.9 million at September 30, 1995, compared to approximately $22.0 million at September 30, 1994. The ratio of the Company's current assets to its current liabilities was 3.37:1 at September 30, 1995, compared to 2.49 at September 30, 1994. The Company's cash and short term investments totaled $1.2 million at September 30, 1995. Cash flows used in operating activities were $9.0 million for Fiscal 1995 due to increased inventories, an increase in accounts receivable and a reduction of trade accounts payable. During this period, investing activities used $4.8 million, primarily as a result of equipment purchases. The cash flows used in operating and investing activities were funded by financing activities which consisted of an additional $13.3 million in borrowings. In June 1995, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility with Standard Federal Bank, a federal savings bank ("Standard"). Under this agreement the Company may borrow up to $21 million. At September 30, 1995, approximately $20 million had been drawn down under the Revolving Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of qualified inventory (the "Borrowing Limit"), and bear interest at prime. All borrowings under the Revolving Facility are due in March 1997. In February 1995, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with Standard to refinance two promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1.4 million and provide additional working capital in the amount of $600,000. The note has a five year term, a fifteen-year amortization schedule, bears interest at the prime rate plus 1/4%, and is secured by a mortgage on certain of the Company's properties. Also in February 1995, the Company and Standard entered into a new equipment purchase credit agreement in the amount of $2.2 million. The Company can finance up to 85% of the cost of equipment purchased over a five year term, with interest at prime, and secured by the related equipment. At September 30, 1995, approximately $1.5 million had been drawn on this financing. -19- 20 All borrowings with Standard are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the loans contain various covenants including those requiring the Company to maintain certain current ratios, levels of tangible net worth and debt ratios, and restricting the Company from acquiring fixed assets in excess of $4.5 million/year. In May 1995, the Company and Standard amended the revolving line of credit used to finance its lease receivables, reducing the maximum borrowings to $3.5 million. At September 30, 1995, approximately $2.9 million had been drawn on this line. In April 1995, the Company entered into a program with a financial institution to finance its lease receivables in the amount of $3.0 million. Under this facility, the Company may finance 100% of the Company's eligible lease receivables over the term of the related lease at a fixed interest rate determined at the time of the lease closing. The note is secured by the related lease receivable. At September 30, 1995, approximately $480,000 had been drawn on this facility. Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the Company and Standard entered into a demonstrator equipment line of credit in the amount of $1.5 million. The Company can finance up to 85% of the cost of a demonstrator fleet on a revolving basis, with interest at prime. All borrowings under this revolving facility mature in March 1997. The revolving credit agreements expire in March 1997 at which time the Company expects to obtain renewals upon the same or similar terms. The Company believes that the available credit under its debt facilities, together with cash generated from the Company's operations, will be adequate to meet the Company's working capital requirements for the next 12 months.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive compensation for serving on the Board or on the Board's committees. Directors who are not employees of the Company are entitled to a quarterly retainer fee of $3,250 ($2,500 for quarters ending prior to October 1, 1995), a $1,000 fee for each regular or special meeting of the Board and a $1,000 fee for each committee meeting attended on a day other than a regular or special Board meeting date (collectively, the "Fees"). A Director may elect to receive payment of the Fees in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1989 Retainer Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Retainer Plan"). To participate in the Retainer Plan, an eligible director must elect prior to December 31 of each year the percentage, if any, of Fees he desires to receive in the form of shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock is issued quarterly during the following calendar year. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to an eligible director is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the percentage of fees such director elects to receive in Common Stock by the "fair market value" of Common Stock on the day prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock to such director. The term "fair market value" means the average of the highest and lowest selling price for the Common Stock as quoted on Nasdaq/NMS for the day prior to the date of issuance or for the first date prior to the date of issuance for which shares of Common Stock are quoted, if not quoted on the day prior to the date of issuance. Any fractional share of Common Stock derived from such calculation is paid in cash. The aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issued to any eligible director in a given year cannot exceed 100% of such eligible director's fees. Fees may not be increased more often than annually. -24- 25 During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, 1,565 shares of Common Stock were issued under the Retainer Plan. ITEM 12.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On August 2, 1993, the Company consummated the purchase of three facilities which it had been leasing from three different entities controlled by certain officers and directors of the Company, including its main Sterling Heights, Michigan facility, its Kalamazoo, Michigan facility and its Macon, Georgia facility. In each instance, the Company paid the purchase price by issuing shares of Common Stock and assuming existing mortgages on the facilities. The purchase prices were determined by the Company's Board of Directors on the basis of independent appraisals of the facilities. The stock issued was valued at $5.40 per share, based on the market price for shares of Common Stock as of March 29, 1993, the date that definitive purchase agreements for the facilities were executed. These shares are restricted within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), meaning that it cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act, or in a transaction which is exempt from such registration. The seller of each facility owned the facility for more than two years before the sale. In November 1994, in connection with a contemplated public offering of its Common Stock, the Company agreed to value the shares issued in exchange for these facilities at a price based on the market value of shares of Common Stock as of August 2, 1993, the date these transactions were consummated. This revision gave effect to the fact that the shares had increased in value by $504,000 from March 29, 1993. Messrs. Kenneth and Robert McClain have agreed to pay this amount to the Company, with interest at Standard's prime rate, in five equal principal installments with accrued interest, commencing September 30, 1995. The Company leases one of its facilities from the mother of Messrs. Kenneth and Robert McClain. See "Properties." The Company believes that the terms and conditions of this lease are comparable to those available from an unrelated party with respect to similar facilities. See also Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of McClain Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business and Concentration of Credit Risk McClain Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") manufacture and sell a diversified line of dump truck bodies (assemblies attached to truck frames which are used to carry and dump solid materials such as dirt or gravel) and solid waste handling equipment (including containers, compactors, bailers, garbage and recycling truck bodies and transfer trailers) used for the temporary storage, transportation and compaction of residential, commercial and industrial waste and recycling materials. The Company sells its dump truck bodies primarily to truck equipment dealers and its solid waste handling equipment primarily to distributors, solid waste handling companies, government agencies, shopping centers and other large retail outlets throughout the United States. In addition, the Company provides coiled steel cutting and warehousing services for its own manufacturing operations in order to reduce its processed steel expense (one of its major cost components), and, on a limited basis, for sale to third-party customers. The Company grants credit to its customers in the normal course of business. No collateral is required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been insignificant and generally within management's expectations. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of McClain Industries, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Galion Holding Company, Shelby Steel Processing Co., McClain of Georgia, Inc., McClain of Ohio, Inc., McClain EPCO, Inc., McClain Group Leasing, Inc., McClain Tube Company, and McClain Group Sales, Inc., a corporation owned jointly by McClain Industries, Inc. and the two operating subsidiaries of Galion Holding Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In July 1995, the Company acquired and began operating an additional wholly-owned subsidiary, McClain EPCO, Inc., a business incorporated in the State of New York (Note 2). The names of several of the subsidiaries were changed during the year ended September 30, 1995 in order to more closely identify them with McClain Industries, Inc. (Continued) 39 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The LIFO (last-in, first-out) method is utilized for certain inventories, while the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method is utilized for the remaining inventories. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are recorded in the accounts at cost which does not purport to represent replacement cost or realizable value. Depreciation is provided at annual rates sufficient to allocate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal estimated useful lives are summarized as follows: Buildings 20-30 years Storage areas 5-10 years Machinery and equipment 4-30 years Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years Transportation equipment 3-10 years Leaseholds 5-20 years Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using the straight-line method for book purposes and accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes. The cost of properties retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation and amortization thereon are eliminated from the accounts at the time of retirement, and the resulting gain or loss is taken into income. Maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the year plus or minus the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary basis differences principally related to inventory, product liability, and plant and equipment. (Continued) 40 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits in banks. The Company maintains certain bank accounts which hold balances in excess of the FDIC insured limit of $100,000. Sales-Type Leases The Company, through McClain Group Leasing, Inc., offers lease financing to certain purchasers of the Company's products. These leases meet the criteria for classification as capitalized leases and are accounted for as sales-type leases. Accordingly, an investment is reflected on the accompanying balance sheets in an amount equal to the gross minimum lease payments receivable less unearned finance income. Unearned finance income is amortized in such a manner as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Goodwill Goodwill representing the purchase price in excess of the fair values of net assets acquired is amortized by direct charges to its carrying value. The amortization period is estimated based upon management's judgements and generally ranges from 15 to 40 years. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 1995 and 1994 was $116,155 and $90,800, respectively. Common Stock Issued for Services Common stock is issued from time to time in lieu of cash for services provided to the Company and is recorded as compensation expense at generally the fair value on the date of issuance. Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Shares Effective February 28, 1995, a four-for-three split of the Company's common stock was declared and was subsequently effected through distribution of one additional share for every three shares issued and outstanding. All applicable share and per share data have been restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split. (Continued) 41 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONCLUDED) Earnings per common and common equivalent shares were calculated using the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. The number of common shares was increased by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of stock options when the market price of the common stock exceeds the option price granted. This increase in the number of common shares was reduced by the number of common shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the stock options; those purchases were assumed to have been made at the average price of the common stock during the year. New Accounting Pronouncement In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which requires a change in the way compensation cost arising from stock options granted is measured. The Company intends to adopt the disclosure aspects of this pronouncement. Reclassifications Certain amounts reported in 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation. NOTE 2: BUSINESS ACQUISITION On July 17, 1995, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of EPCO Manufacturing Corporation, Inc. ("EPCO") in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. EPCO is a manufacturer of vertical downstroke and closed door horizontal baling equipment used for processing of cardboard, paper, plastic and non-ferrous metals in the recycling industry. Concurrent with the acquisition, EPCO's name was changed to McClain EPCO, Inc., an enterprise which operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of McClain Industries, Inc. The purchase price of EPCO was $1,000,000 which was paid at closing by the issuance of 135,701 shares of unregistered common stock valued at the market price of approximately $7.37, determined for a period immediately preceding the acquisition date. The purchase price was significantly in excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired and such excess was substantially allocated to goodwill. Additional consideration not to exceed $500,000 is payable in additional shares of the Company's common stock contingent upon EPCO sales exceeding specified amounts during the three-year period ending on September 30, 1998. (Continued) 42 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2: BUSINESS ACQUISITION (CONCLUDED) EPCO sales (unaudited) for its most recent fiscal year preceding the acquisition were approximately $2.5 million. Results of operations of EPCO included in the Company's financial statements since the date of acquisition are not significant and, accordingly, proforma results of operations as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the previous fiscal year are not presented. NOTE 3: SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS INFORMATION Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities Non-cash investing and financing transactions during the year ended September 30, 1995 consisted of the EPCO acquisition and placing into service certain equipment valued at approximately $426,000, which had previously been included in other assets. The Company issued common stock valued at $1,000,000 in connection with the EPCO acquisition, which is summarized as follows: Fair value of assets acquired $ 876,000 Goodwill assigned 1,203,000 Liabilities assumed (1,079,000) ---------- Total consideration exchanged $1,000,000 ========== Non-cash financing and investing transactions during the year ended September 30, 1994 consisted of placing into service a tube mill valued at $1,735,000, which had previously been included in other assets, and settling $7,623,414 of short-term notes payable for which a like amount of long-term debt was incurred as a result of debt refinancing (Note 5).

The Company and the subsidiary have two lines of credit borrowing arrangements with the bank totaling $21,000,000 at September 30, 1995. Borrowings under the lines of credit are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of qualified inventory and are subject to interest no greater than the bank's prime rate. The lines of credit are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and contain various covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain current ratios, levels of tangible net worth and debt ratios. The agreement also prohibits the Company from incurring additional indebtedness other than subordinated indebtedness and limits plant and equipment acquisitions to $4.5 million per fiscal year. The Company had an $11 million line of credit at September 30, 1994 and had an $8 million line of credit at September 30, 1993.

Waste Stream Programs In connection with its acquisition of EPCO in July 1995, the Company entered into a consulting and commission agreement with Waste Stream Associates ("Waste Stream"), a partnership consisting of certain stockholders of the Company, to compensate Waste Stream in an amount equal to 50% of the pre-tax profit derived by EPCO from Waste Stream Programs, as defined. Such compensation was not significant for the period ended September 30, 1995. (Continued) 51 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - (CONCLUDED) Note Receivable The Company's office and operating facility, the Georgia facility and the Kalamazoo facility were leased from related party partnerships comprised of officers, directors and employees of McClain Industries, Inc. On August 2, 1993, the Company acquired these facilities in exchange for 360,000 shares of common stock. In November 1994, in connection with an aborted securities offering, the Company agreed to value these shares at a price based on the market value of such shares as of August 2, 1993, the date the transactions were consummated. This revision gives effect to the fact that the shares increased in value by $504,000 from March 29, 1993, the date the definitive agreements for the transactions were executed by the parties, to August 2, 1993. The Company's principal shareholders have agreed to reimburse that amount to the Company. A letter agreement has been executed calling for equal annual principal payments to be received by the Company over a five-year period beginning on September 30, 1995, plus interest at the Company's cost of funds, which approximates the prime rate. Rentals on the above office and operating facilities prior to their acquisition by the Company amounted to $215,674 during the year ended September 30, 1993. Other Elliott & Sons Insurance Agency, Inc. and Michigan Defined Plans, Inc., entities controlled by Raymond Elliott, a director of the Company, provided insurance at a cost of approximately $1,300,000, $1,400,000, and $1,000,000 to the Company during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These entities received fees and commissions in connection with these transactions of approximately $129,000, $118,000 and $124,000, respectively. Product Sales The Company had product sales of approximately $239,000, $232,000 and $314,000 during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, to a business controlled by an executive officer of McClain Industries, Inc. 52 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC.

Such claims typically involve personal injury or wrongful death associated with the use or misuse of the Company's products. The Company is currently defending certain legal proceedings involving allegations of product liability relating to products manufactured and sold by the Company. Historically, such claims have not resulted in material losses to the Company in any one year, and the Company maintains product liability insurance in amounts believed by management to be adequate. Galion Holding Company (GHC), pursuant to an indemnification it provided to the seller in connection with GHC's July 1992 acquisition of the Galion operations, is currently defending a number of legal proceedings involving product liability claims arising out of products manufactured and sold prior to the acquisition. These claims are covered by insurance and many of these cases have been settled. A liability to provide for these product claims was established at the acquisition date. Since many of the cases have been settled and insurance coverage exists, management believes that the ongoing costs to defend these claims will not exceed the amount accrued on the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 1995. (Continued) 53 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Environmental Matters The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. Inherent in manufacturing operations and in owning real estate is the risk of environmental liabilities as a result of both current and past operations, which cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with environmental regulatory compliance in its business. The Company engaged the services of an outside consulting firm to perform environmental compliance assessments of all of the Company's facilities (the "Audits"). The Audits identified a number of regulatory compliance issues associated with hazardous waste management and reporting, wastewater and stormwater requirements, underground storage tank registration and reporting requirements and air permitting requirements. Since the date of the Audits, the Company has begun to implement procedures and take requisite actions to remedy the deficiencies identified in the Audits so that its facilities will comply with all applicable and material environmental laws and regulations. The Company estimates that the total costs of bringing its facilities into compliance will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Legal Matters Other Than Product Liability The Company is also involved in routine litigation incidental to its business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial statements. Employment Agreement In connection with the EPCO acquisition on July 17, 1995, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with the president of EPCO, which provides for a base salary of $100,000 annually. As an inducement for the Company to enter into the employment agreement, the officer agreed to not compete with the Company's business for a period of three years after employment is terminated, or five years from the date of the agreement, whichever is longer. (Continued) 54 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONCLUDED) Operating Lease In connection with the EPCO acquisition in July 1995, the Company assumed a contractual commitment to lease for a five-year period ending on April 1, 2000 the New York facilities used in its baler manufacturing operation. The Company is responsible for insurance, utilities, maintenance including a percentage of common area charges and a portion of the property taxes. Minimum rental payments required pursuant to this noncancellable lease agreement for the years succeeding September 30, 1995 amount to approximately $285,000. The Company has an option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five-year period at a minimum fixed aggregate rental of approximately $347,000. Common Stock Repurchase In December 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase from time to time on the open market up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. NOTE 15: INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company maintains the 1989 Retainer Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors and the McClain 1989 Incentive Stock Plan. Retainer Stock Plan The Retainer Stock Plan as adopted calls for reserving 100,000 shares of the Company's no par common stock and allows non-employee directors the option to receive payment of all or a portion of their directors fees in the form of shares of common stock at the fair market value of such shares on the date of issuance. For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company issued 1,565, 1,645 and 2,347 shares, respectively, of its common stock to such directors in exchange for services rendered. (Continued) 55 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 15: INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED) Incentive Stock Plan The Incentive Stock Plan as adopted calls for reserving 1,000,000 shares of the Company's no par common stock for the granting of stock awards to officers and key management personnel. The awards consist of incentive stock option (ISO) or non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted share rights, and may be granted at the following prices at the date of grant: incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of common stock; stock appreciation rights and restricted share rights may be issued at a price which may not be less than 50% of the price of the common stock. In connection with the EPCO acquisition on July 17, 1995, the Board of Directors granted to two EPCO employees options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.37 per share, which was the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The employees may exercise one-third of the options at any time after July 1996, one-third of the options at any time after July 1997 and one-third of the options at any time after July 1998, but no options may be exercised after July 2000. On January 16, 1995, the Board of Directors granted to the Company's President and other key employees options to purchase 30,667 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.31 per share, which was the fair market value for the shares on the date of grant. The employees may exercise one-third of the options at any time after January 1996, one-third of the options at any time after January 1997, and one-third of the options at any time after January 1998, but no options may be exercised after January 2000.

On April 4, 1994, the Board of Directors granted to the Company's President and other key employees options to purchase 52,667 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.56 per share, which was the fair market value for the shares on the date of the grant. The employees may exercise one-third of the options at any time after April 1995, one-third of the options at any time after April 1996, and one-third of the options at any time after April 1997, but no options may be exercised after April 1999. (Continued) 56 McCLAIN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 15: INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONCLUDED) On December 21, 1992, the Board of Directors granted to key employees options to purchase 72,584 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.18 per share, which was the fair market value for the shares on the date of grant. The employees may exercise these options at any time after December 1993, but not later than December 1997.
