===== ===== =====
OPERATING RESULTS - 1994 vs. 1993:
Orders received for the Company's products and services were $156.6 million in
1994 as compared to $144.1 million in 1993. Included in orders received for 1993
were $11.9 million of orders related to product lines discontinued in the 1993
third quarter. The increase in 1994 product and service orders reflected
increased demand for the Company's electronic manufacturing test products and a
U.S. Marine Corps follow-on order in the amount of $12.2 million, related
to a contract received by the Company in the third quarter of 1992.
Backlog at the end of 1994 was $31.7 million as compared to $19.0 million
at the end of 1993. Backlog of U.S. Marine Corps orders totaled $9.1
million at the end of 1994, compared to $2.4 million at the end of 1993.
Net product and service revenues were $143.9 million for 1994 as
compared to $158.7 million in 1993. The reduction between years
is partially caused by the discontinuance of certain product lines
during the 1993 third quarter. Discontinued product lines contributed
$12.0 million in revenues in 1993. In addition, 1994 included
$20.4 million derived from contracts with Ford of Europe and the
U.S. Marine Corps, as compared to $40.8 million in 1993. Service
revenues decreased by $2.1 million. The decline in service rev-
enues is the result of a reduction in the active installed base, a
general reduction in service requirements by customers, and
decreased revenues derived from services performed.
Revenues derived from the international market accounted
for 55% in 1994 and 56% in 1993. Product and service revenues
derived from the international market are subject to the risks
of currency fluctuations. The U.S. dollar weakened during
1994 relative to most major foreign currencies, which had only
a minor impact on the Company's international net revenue.
Gross margin as a percent of revenues increased to 46.5% in
1994 from 42.0% in 1993. Gross margins increased due to changes
in product mix. Revenues from the Company's electronic manufacturing
test products increased. Revenues from automotive
electronics diagnostic systems and from the U.S. Marine Corps
contract decreased, both of which have overall lower margins.
In addition, margins have improved as a percentage of revenues
due to cost reductions achieved as a result of the 1993 restructuring
and continued focus on material and manufacturing cost
reduction programs. The margin improvements noted above
have been partially offset, however, by the adverse effect of
competitive pricing pressures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$10.3 million to $43.7 million in 1994 from $54.0 million in 1993. The
decline in expenses is related to the Company's 1993 restructuring
which was initiated at the end of the third quarter of 1993 and
resulted in a reduction in workforce, discontinued product lines,
reduced facility costs and reduced depreciation. The decline is
also related to a $5.0 million charge in 1993 for the establishment
of patent litigation reserves and for the accelerated recognition
of compensation expense associated with previously granted
stock options and stock awards. Partially offsetting the above,
the Company's operating expenses increased as a result of the
Company's establishment of additional sales capacity and offices
to service its automotive customers, increased costs associated
with sales and operating performance incentive programs, and
severance costs associated with various personnel changes.
Research and development expenses declined $1.6 million to
$13.7 million in 1994 from $15.3 million in 1993. As a percentage
of net product and service revenues, research and development
costs decreased 0.2% to 9.5% in 1994. The decrease is primarily
the result of the Company's 1993 restructuring program which
resulted in a reduction of workforce, discontinued product lines,
reduced facilities costs and reduced depreciation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS (continued)
At the end of the third quarter of 1993, the Company initiated a
program to divest certain product lines which were not consistent
with the Company's strategy and to realign and resize operations
to the expected revenue levels of the remaining core product
lines. As a result, restructuring charges of $36.8 million were
recorded in 1993. The restructuring charges included severance
of $6.5 million, asset write-offs of $12.3 million, excess facilities
reserves of $12.5 million, $3.2 million for discontinued product
lines and $2.3 million for miscellaneous other costs.
The labor force was reduced by 12% beginning in the fourth
quarter of 1993, resulting in cash outflows for severance of $1.3
million in 1993, $4.2 million in 1994 and expected cash outflows
of $1.0 million in 1995. Asset write-offs of $12.3 million related
principally to building and leasehold improvements of vacated
and excess space, had no cash flow effect, and resulted in
annual depreciation savings of $1.4 million in 1994. The Company's
Fareham, England facility was sold for $1.7 million in July 1994,
and its Bolton, Massachusetts facility was sold for $2.1 million
in January 1995, consistent with the restructuring plan. The pro-
ceeds from these sales approximated the carrying value of the
assets sold.
Excess facilities reserves of $12.5 million relate primarily to losses
in leases for vacated domestic and European facilities. Cash out-
flows related to excess facilities, provided as part of the 1993
restructuring, were $0.4 million in 1993, $3.2 million in 1994 and
are estimated to be $1.4 million in 1995 and $7.5 million thereafter.
Most of the estimated cash outflows for excess facilities costs,
in 1995 and thereafter, relate to two buildings: one in Milpitas,
California, with a lease expiration date of March 1998; and the
other in Maidenhead, England, with a lease expiration date of
December 2013. As part of the restructuring plan, the Milpitas,
California building has been partially subleased through July 1997,
and the Maidenhead building has been fully subleased through
February 1999. As the Company continues to restructure current
leasing arrangements, the utilization of excess facilities reserves
and related cash flows may differ from present estimates.
The $3.2 million provided for discontinued product lines relates
both to the sale of the Design Automation Products (DAP) product
line and to the sale of the Structural Test Products (STP) product
line. The DAP product line was sold in March 1994 resulting in
net cash inflows of approximately $0.2 million in 1994. The STP
product line was sold in March 1995 for cash of $1.1 million, and
receivables of approximately $1.1 million were retained and are
expected to be collected in the normal course of business. The
STP sale is expected to result in the reversal of a portion of the
restructuring reserves in the first quarter of 1995.
On January 31, 1995, the Company ceased all benefit accruals
under the Company's domestic noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan as part of its redesigning of the Company's employee
benefit plans. Participants of the plan who meet vesting require-
ments will earn benefits based on years of service and compen-
sation earned through January 31, 1995. This change will result
in the Company recognizing a curtailment gain of $1,946,000 in
the first quarter of 1995.
The Company is a named defendant in a patent infringement
litigation matter with a competitor. During the 1993 fourth quarter,
the Company established a reserve to cover its best estimate of
the outcome of settlement negotiations and legal costs. During
the 1994 first quarter, the Company increased its estimate of legal
costs and recorded such increase in general and administrative
expenses. Management believes the suit is without merit and
intends to contest the suit vigorously. In management's opinion,
current reserves are adequate to cover the expected outcome
of the dispute. An adverse result in this litigation could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.
Other income and expense includes foreign currency exchange
gains and losses, the cost of hedging and certain miscellaneous
expenses. Other income (expense) increased by $1.0 million to
$0.7 million in 1994 from $(0.3) in 1993. This resulted primarily due
to favorable foreign currency fluctuations in relation to the
Company's hedged position, which more than offset the cost of
hedging and other expenses in 1994 as compared to 1993.
The Company buys and sells foreign currencies using forward
contracts intended to hedge payables and receivables denomi-
nated in foreign currencies. The Company primarily trades in
U.S. dollars and European currencies. At December 31, 1994, the
Company had forward exchange contracts to sell $7.9 million
in foreign currencies, all of which were European denominated.
The provision for taxes in 1994 and 1993 represents foreign and
state income taxes. The Company utilized existing operating loss
carryforwards to offset current requirements for United States
federal income taxes.
OPERATING RESULT5 - 1993 vs. 1992:
Orders for the Company's products and services were $144.1
million in 1993 as compared to $154.7 million in 1992. The 1992
amount reflects the initial orders for the Company's FDS 2000
automotive electronics diagnostic system from Ford of Europe
as well as the initial order from the U.S. Marine Corps in the
amount of $14.2 million for specialty board test products. Orders
for 1993 and for 1992 included $11.9 million and $21.7 million,
respectively, related to discontinued product lines. Without
the preceding, orders in 1993 increased for in-circuit testers,
including the current GR228X combinational testers and
automotive diagnostic products.
The Company's sales increased by $16.1 million or 11.3% in 1993 to
$158.7 million from $142.6 million in 1992. The increase resulted in
part from greater shipments to Ford of Europe during 1993 under
the terms of a contract in which shipments initiated in November

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS (continued)
1992 and from revenues under the U.S. Marine Corps contract
which were $12.8 million in 1993 and $1.3 million in 1992. In addi-
tion, revenues from the Company's core board-test business
also increased during 1993 in relation to 1992. Partially offsetting
the above revenue increases was a decline in revenues from
discontinued products which amounted to $12.0 million in 1993
and $22.0 million in 1992 and from a decline in service revenues of
approximately 12% during 1993. The decline in service revenues
is the result of a reduction in the active installed base due to
lower unit shipments in recent years and from a general reduc-
tion in service requirements by many customers.
Sales to the international market accounted for 56% of sales for
1993, as compared to 58% in 1992.
Backlog at the end of 1993 was $19.0 million as compared to $35.4
million at the end of 1992. Backlog relating to the U.S. Marine
Corps order as of the end of 1993 totaled $2.4 million, compared to
$12.6 million at the end of 1992. Backlog for 1993 excluded orders
related to discontinued products. Backlog for 1992 included $3.5
million of orders related to discontinued products.
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased to 42.0% for 1993
from 44.7% in 1992. Gross margin was adversely impacted by
competitive pricing pressures and generally lower margins on
sales to automotive and government customers, which in 1993
represented an increased portion of the Company's revenues
in relation to prior periods. Service gross margins as a percent
of sales decreased slightly, mainly as a result of the decline in
revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.6
million in 1993 from 1992 primarily due to a $5.0 million charge
for the establishment of patent litigation reserves and for the
accelerated recognition of compensation expense related
to stock options, a $1.6 million charge in the second quarter
of 1993 for severance and related costs associated with the
realignment of certain members of senior corporate and
international management, and increased incentive costs
in support of higher sales volume.
Research and development expenses declined in 1993 in com-
parison to 1992 by $4.9 million as a result of another restructuring
which began in 1991, from direct absorption of certain expenses
into product costs related to the U.S. Marine Corps contract and
from a reduction in the number of engineers. Research and devel-
opment expenses declined as a percentage of sales, reflecting
higher sales volume and a decrease in expenses.
At the end of the third quarter 1993, the Company initiated a pro-
gram to divest certain product lines which were not consistent
with the Company's strategy and to realign and resize operations
to the expected revenue levels of the remaining core product
lines. As a result, restructuring charges of $36.8 million were
recorded in 1993. The restructuring charges included severance
of $6.5 million, asset write-offs of $12.3 million, excess facilities
reserves of $12.5 million, $3.2 million for discontinued product
lines and $2.3 million for miscellaneous other costs. For further
discussion, see the Operating Results-1994 vs. 1993 section in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Operating Results.
Interest income decreased in 1993 in relation to 1992 as a result
of an overall reduction in cash balances available for investing
and a general decline in interest rates. During the same periods,
interest expense decreased due to lower short-term borrowings
and lower interest rates. Other income and expense in 1992
included the following non-operating items: the receipt of a
customs rebate, royalty income and a payment on the sale of
a product line.
The 1993 tax benefit is due to tax refunds from net operating loss
carryback claims, net of foreign and state income taxes.
In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards
board issued Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This Statement
requires employers to accrue the cost of postretirement benefits
during the years that the employee renders the service and was
effective for fiscal year 1993. The Company adopted this State-
ment in 1993 and it will recognize the unrecognized transition
obligation of approximately $11 million on the delayed recogni-
tion method over a period of 20 years. A curtailment loss of $1.1
million due to workforce reductions was recorded in 1993. The
Company's postretirement benefit plans have been modified and
include a limit on the cost of the Company's contribution for all
retirees and increased contributions for future retirees.
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
Company was required to adopt the Statement in 1993. The
adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Cash and equivalents decreased $0.8 million in 1994. Operating
activities provided $4.6 million in cash, $3.8 million of which was
used to repay short-term borrowings.
Capital expenditures in 1994 totaled $5.0 million. Additions to
property, plant and equipment were primarily for equipment
used in research and development and manufacturing. Capital
expenditure commitments were not significant at 1994 year-end.
Capital expenditures for 1995 are expected to be $6.1 million,
primarily for equipment to be used in research and development
and manufacturing. These expenditures are anticipated to be
financed through internally generated funds.
The Company is party to long-term leases from a product line
discontinued in 1987 and vacated domestic and European facili-
ties provided for in the Company's 1993 and prior restructurings.

GENRAD, INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS (continued)
Cash of $6.5 million was used to fund these arrangements in 1994
and at December 31, 1994 reserves for excess facilities relating
to these long-term leases totaled $13.2 million. The Company is
projecting that cash of approximately $5.2 million will be used
in 1995 to fund these arrangements. Additionally, the Company
projects that $5.4 million is expected to be used in 1995 to fund
severance, litigation and legal costs and other miscellaneous
charges provided for in the restructuring.
The Company's primary source of liquidity is internally generated
funds. The Company also has existing available secured lines
of credit of up to $14.2 million, of which no borrowings were
outstanding at the end of 1994. The total available borrowings
consist of a $12.0 million U.S. credit facility entered into in June
1992 which expires on December 31, 1996, and $2.2 million in a
U.K. credit facility. At December 31, 1994, the Company had an
available borrowing capacity of $12.0 million under the U.S.
credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility are subject
to compliance with specified financial and operating covenants
and are secured by all of the Company's domestic assets.
Additionally, the U.K. credit facility is secured by all of the
Company's U.K. assets and is payable on demand.
The terms of the Company's 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures require the Company to make annual sinking fund
payments of $2.875 million starting in May 1996. As a result of
the Company having repurchased $7.5 million of the Debentures
during 1990, the Company may use the previous repurchase in
lieu of sinking fund payments and defer the initiation of such
payments until 1998.
It is the intention of the Company to reinvest unremitted earnings
of foreign subsidiaries outside the United States. Accordingly,
Federal income taxes have not been provided and foreign with-
holding taxes would be due upon remittance. There are no
restrictions on the payment of intercompany accounts.
The Company's ability to fund its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, make interest payments on its
convertible debentures and other borrowings and meet its
other cash obligations, including those arising from its recent
restructurings, may depend, among other things, on internally
generated funds and the continued availability and compliance
with its credit facilities. Management believes that internally
generated funds and its available credit facilities will provide the
Company with sufficient sources of funds to satisfy its anticipated
requirements in 1995. However, if there is a significant reduction
in internally generated funds, the Company may require signifi-
cant funds from outside financing sources. In such event, there
can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain
such funding as and when required or on acceptable terms.
Inflation during the years presented did not have any significant
effects on the operations of the Company. Due to the current
market environment, certain products have been repositioned
in the market with product changes and various price changes,
both upward and downward. The Company attempts to mitigate
inflationary cost increases by continued improvements in manu-
facturing efficiency achieved through the use of improved
methods and technology.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS:
The Company's future operating results are dependent on
the Company's ability to develop, manufacture and market
technologically innovative products that meet customer needs,
fund its working capital, capital expenditure and financing
requirements and meet its cash obligations, including those
arising from past restructurings.
The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in
customer needs and frequent new product introductions, and
is therefore highly dependent on timely product innovation.
Competition in the markets in which the Company operates is
intense. The introduction by the Company or its competitors of
products embodying new technology or the emergence of new
industry standards or practices could render the Company's
existing products obsolete or otherwise unmarketable. The
Company's ability to develop and market products and services
that successfully meet changing market needs will impact future
results. A portion of future revenues will come from new products
and services. The Company cannot determine the ultimate effect
that new products and services will have on revenues, earnings
and stock price.
The Company is dependent upon a number of suppliers for
several key components of its products. The loss of certain of the
Company's suppliers or substantial price increases imposed by
suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is exposed to risks inherent in international trade
and operations as a result of its international sales and operation
of its manufacturing facility in Manchester, England. Such trade
and operations expose the Company to continuing risks, such
as unpredictable and potentially inconsistent regulatory require-
merits, political and economic changes, tariffs or other trade
restrictions, transportation delays, foreign currency fluctuations
and labor disruptions.
The Company is currently subject to patent infringement litigation.
The Company may be subject to patent or product liability claims
in the future. A successful claim brought against the Company in
excess of available insurance coverage or any claim that results
in significant adverse publicity may have a material adverse effect
on the Company's competitive position, financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.

GENRAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenue from product sales is generally recognized at the
time the product is shipped or delivered based on shipping terms. Service
revenue is recognized over the contractual period on a straight-line basis for
service contracts or as services are performed.
INCOME TAXES: Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." This standard determines deferred taxes based on the estimated future
tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities given the provisions of the currently enacted tax laws.
Prior to the implementation of this Statement, the Company accounted for income
taxes under SFAS No. 96.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE: Primary net income
(loss) per common and common equivalent share is calculated based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, in
periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares
contingently issuable from stock options. Fully diluted net income (loss) per
common and common equivalent share is calculated consistent with primary net
income per common and common equivalent share but reflects additional dilution
from stock options due to the use of the market price at the end of the period
when it is higher than the average price for the period.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
INVENTORY VALUATION: Inventories include material, labor and overhead and are
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: These assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets (buildings and improvements, 10 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3
to 8 years; and service parts, 7 years).
INTANGIBLE ASSETS: The cost of patents and trademarks acquired is amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: All balance sheet accounts of foreign
subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rates and statement of
operations items are translated at the average exchange rates during the year.
Resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of
stockholders' equity (deficit).
The effect of foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in the
determination of 1994, 1993 and 1992 results of operations was not material.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts
as a hedge against certain currency transactions. Market value gains and losses
are recognized and the resulting gain or loss offsets foreign exchange gains
or losses on those transactions.
FISCAL YEAR: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest December
31. Fiscal years 1994 and 1993 include 52 weeks and fiscal year 1992 includes
53 weeks.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992
Consolidated Statement of Operations, and to the 1993 and 1992 Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, to conform to the 1994 presentation. $4,983,000 for
patent litigation reserves and compensation associated with the acceleration of
stock options previously reported as a component of restructuring charges have
been reclassified to selling, general and administrative in the 1993
Consolidated Statement of Operations. Sales of products and sales of services
amounts for 1993 and 1992 have been reclassified to conform to 1994
classifications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2: PROVISIONS FOR RESTRUCTURING
At the end of the third quarter of 1993, the Company initiated a program to
divest certain product lines which were not consistent with the Company's
strategy and to realign and resize operations to the expected revenue levels of
the remaining core product lines. As a result, restructuring charges of $36.8
million were recorded in 1993. The restructuring charges included severance of
$6.5 million, asset write-offs of $12.3 million, excess facilities reserves of
$12.5 million, $3.2 million for discontinued product lines and $2.3 million for
miscellaneous other costs.
The labor force was reduced by 12% beginning in the fourth quarter of 1993,
resulting in cash outflows for severance of $1.3 million in 1993, $4.2
million in 1994 and expected cash outflows of $1.0 million in 1995. Asset
write-offs of $12.3 million related principally to building and leasehold
improvements of vacated and excess space, had no cash flow effect, and resulted
in annual depreciation savings of $1.4 million in 1994. The Company's Fareham,
England facility

NOTE 2: PROVISIONS FOR RESTRUCTURING (continued)
was sold for $1.7 million in July 1994, and its Bolton, Massachusetts facility
was sold for $2.1 million in January 1995, consistent with the restructuring
plan. The proceeds from these sales approximated the carrying value of the
assets sold.
Excess facilities reserves of $12.5 million relate primarily to losses in leases
for vacated domestic and European facilities. Cash outflows related to excess
facilities, provided as part of the 1993 restructuring, were $0.4 million in
1993, $3.2 million in 1994 and are estimated to be $1.4 million in 1995 and $7.5
million thereafter. Most of the estimated cash outflows for excess facilities
costs, in 1995 and thereafter, relate to two buildings: one in Milpitas,
California, with a lease expiration date of March 1998; and the other in
Maidenhead, England, with a lease expiration date of December 2013. As part
of the restructuring plan, the Milpitas, California building has been partially
subleased through July 1997, and the Maidenhead building has been fully
subleased through February 1999. As the Company continues to restructure
current leasing arrangements, the utilization of excess facilities reserves and
related cash flows may differ from present estimates.
The $3.2 million provided for discontinued product lines relates both to the
sale of the Design Automation Products (DAP) product line and to the sale of
the Structural Test Products (STP) product line. The DAP product line was sold
in March 1994 resulting in net cash inflows of approximately $0.2 million in
1994. The STP product line was sold in March 1995 for cash of $1.1 million,
and receivables of approximately $1.1 million were retained and are expected to
be collected in the normal course of business. The STP sale is expected to
result in the reversal of a portion of the restructuring reserves in the first
quarter of 1995.

7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due 2011 .................................. $48,917 $48,851
==================
In May 1986, the Company issued $57,500,000 principal
amount of 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder
into Common Stock of the Company at $14 3/8 per share.
The Debentures are unsecured and subordinated to senior
indebtedness of the Company. Interest is payable May 1
and November 1. The unamortized bond issuance expense
was $1,083,000 at December 31, 1994 and $1,149,000 at
January 1, 1994. The payment of dividends and the repur-
chase of Common Stock of the Company is restricted by
the indenture agreement.
The Debentures are subject to redemption at par through
the operation of a mandatory sinking fund with payments
beginning May 1, 1996, which is calculated to retire 75%
of the Debentures prior to maturity. The terms of the
Debenture require the Company to make annual sinking
fund payments of $2,875,000 starting in May 1996. In 1990,
the Company retired early $7,500,000 principal amount of
the Debentures. As a result, the Company may use the
repurchase in lieu of sinking fund payments and defer
the initiation of such payments until 1998.
In June 1992, the Company entered into a secured
Revolving Credit Agreement that has been subsequently
amended and provides for eligible borrowings of up to $12
million at prime lending rates (8.5% at December 31, 1994)
plus 2 1/2% or 9%, whichever is greater. This agreement has
been extended to December 31, 1996. Eligible borrowings
under the agreement are based on accounts receivable
and other assets and determined according to a formula.
At December 31, 1994, $12.0 million was available under
the formula. The borrowings under the credit facility are
secured by all of the Company's domestic assets and are
subject to compliance tests and restrictions. At year-end,
the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this
agreement.
The Company has a line of credit of $2.2 million with
U.K. bank. At December 31, 1994, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
Interest paid amounted to $4,051,000 in 1994, $4,264,000
in 1993 and $4,493,000 in 1992.
NOTE 8: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company operates internationally and is exposed
to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the
Company to reduce those risks. The Company does not
hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to
hedge certain purchases and accounts receivable denomi-
nated in foreign currencies (principally European curren-
cies). The term of the currency derivatives is rarely more
than six months. The purpose of the Company's foreign
currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from
the risk that the eventual net cash inflows resulting from the
sale of products to foreign customers and purchases from
foreign suppliers will be adversely affected by changes in
exchange rates.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had contracts maturing
through April 20, 1995 to sell $7,886,000, net, of foreign cur-
rency (sell 9,645,000 French francs, 1,888,000 British pounds,
2,058,074,000 Italian lira and 2,766,000 German marks) at
various rates.

NOTE 9: STOCK PLANS
STOCK OPTION PLANS: The Company has three stock option plans: a 1982 plan of
2,700,000 shares (terminated in 1991); a 1991 plan (amended in 1994) for
4,500,000 shares for which key employees are participants; and a 1991 plan of
100,000 shares for non-employee directors.
In general, shares granted under these plans are exercisable in installments
based on stock price or years of service. Shares issued under each plan may be
either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options. No accounting
recognition is given to stock options with exercise prices equal to fair market
value on the grant date until the options are exercised, at which time the
proceeds are credited to the stockholders' equity accounts. For options with an
exercise price less than fair market value on the grant date, the amount that
the fair market value exceeds the exercise price is charged to compensation
expense over the period the options vest.
In 1993, the Company charged $2,781,000 to compensation expense for stock
options and restricted stock awards, of which $1,983,000 is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses as it relates to the acceleration of vesting
voted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during 1993.
Compensation amounts in 1994 and 1992 were immaterial.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS: In 1991, the Company adopted
the 1991 Equity Incentive Plan which contains provisions
for stock options, as described above, and restricted stock
awards. All stock awards are granted subject to restric-
tions as to continuous employment, except in the case of
death, permanent disability or retirement. One half of the
shares vest at the end of two years from the date of grant
and the remaining one half at the end of the third year. The
cost of the awards, determined as the fair market value
of the shares on the date of grant, is charged to expense
ratably over the vesting period. At December 31, 1994,
January 1, 1994 and January 2, 1993, the Company had
granted 35,000, 250,000 and 189,000 shares, respectively.
All stock awards granted to active employees were vested
in 1993.
In 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Director Restricted Stock Plan, which
contains provisions for restricted stock awards. Up to 50,000 shares of
the Company's common stock may be issued under the plan. On August 31 of each
year, while the plan is in effect, each eligible director will be granted a
restricted stock award of 1,500 shares of the Company's common stock. The awards
are subject to certain restrictions that generally prohibit the transfer of any
shares prior to the third anniversary of the award, the director's death or
disability, the director's resignation with the consent of the Board of
Directors or a change in control of the Company as defined under the plan. At
December 31, 1994, the Company had granted 7,500 shares under the plan.
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN: Under an Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, eligible employees may invest up to 10% of their base
compensation in shares of the Company's Common Stock.
The purchase price of the shares is 85% of the fair market
value of the stock on the offering commencement date
or the offering termination date (typically six months after
commencement date), whichever is lower. In 1994, the
plan was amended, increasing the amount of shares from
1,962,000 to 2,462,000. Under the plan 33,000 shares were
issued in 1994. At December 31, 1994, 467,000 shares were

Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting
for Income Taxes." This standard determines deferred taxes based on the
estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and
tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted
tax laws. Prior to the implementation of this Statement, the Company accounted
for income taxes under SFAS No. 96. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no material
impact on the results of operations.

==========================
The valuation allowance relates to uncertainty surrounding
the realization of the deferred tax assets, principally tax
loss carryforwards.
It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest unremit-
ted earnings of foreign subsidiaries in the business outside
the United States. Accordingly, the Company does not pro-
vide for federal income taxes that would result from the
remittance of such earnings.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had, for tax purposes,
domestic unused net operating loss carryforwards of
$150,163,000 which are available to offset future taxable
income and begin expiring in 2000. The Tax Reform Act
of 1986 contains provisions that limit the net operating loss
carryforwards available to be used in any given year upon
the occurrence of certain events, including significant
changes in ownership interests. For tax purposes, the
Company has investment and research credit carryfor-
wards, which begin expiring in 1996, of $9,700,000.
At December 31, 1994, one of the Company's European
subsidiaries had a tax loss carryforward of $1,343,000. Of
that amount, $243,000 will expire commencing in 1996 with
the remainder able to be carried forward indefinitely.
Net taxes paid (refunded), were $151,000 in 1994, $(199,000)
in 1993 and $133,000 in 1992.

NOTE 11: RETIREMENT BENEFTI5
PENSION PLAN: The Company has a noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan covering substantially all domestic
employees. The benefits are based on years of service, age
and the average of the employee's highest five consecutive
year's compensation during the last 10 years of employment.
The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to
the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding require-
ments set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Company
may determine to be appropriate from time to time. As
discussed further in the subsequent events, Note 14, on
January 31, 1995 benefit accruals were fixed at their current
levels. The Company will record a curtailment gain of
$1,946,000 in the first quarter of 1995.
Net pension cost included the following components (in thousands):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS:
Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 106 (SFAS No. 106), "Employer's Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," for its
postretirement benefit plan. The Company provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits for retired United
States employees. Employees become eligible for these
benefits when they reach normal retirement age while
working for the Company. Prior to the adoption of this
Statement, the cost was recognized as claims were paid.
The Company's postretirement benefit plans have been
modified and include a limit on the cost of the Company's
contribution for all retirees and increased contributions
for future retirees. The plan is not funded.

===================
The Company is recognizing the actuarial present value of the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at transition on the delayed recognition
method over 20 years.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 1994 and 1993 includes the following components:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 1993
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost ........................................................ $ 96 $ 104

Curtailment loss .................................................... -- 1,100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$1,542 $2,923
===============
Included in the 1993 expense of $2,923,000 is a curtailment
loss as a result of terminations related to the 1993 workforce
reduction.
Postretirement benefit expense was $1,290,000 in 1992.
For measurement purposes, a 12% annual rate of increase
in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was
assumed for fiscal 1994 and a 15% annual rate in 1993. The
Company's annual per capita cost commitment for retiree
medical care is capped at 1995 levels. As a result, the health
care cost trend rate assumption does not have a significant
effect on the amounts reported.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was
7.5% at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993.

================================
At December 31, 1994, the Company has accrued $13,237,000 for future lease
commitments relating to idle facilities which are included above.
NOTE 13: CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a named defendant in a patent infringement
litigation matter with a competitor. In the opinion of manage-
ment, reserves at December 31, 1994 are adequate to cover
the liability, if any, related to the eventual outcome of this liti-
gation. An adverse result in this litigation could have a mater-
ial adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity. The Company is unable to
estimate the amount, if any, which an adverse result may
exceed available reserves.
NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 16, 1995, the Company sold its building located
in Bolton, Massachusetts for $2,100,000 in cash, of which
$300,000 will be held in escrow until certain conditions are
met. The net book value of the building had been reduced
to its net realizable value as part of the restructuring initiated
in the third quarter of 1993. Consequently, no gain or loss
will be recorded on the sale in the first quarter of 1995.
On January 31, 1995, the Company ceased all benefit
accruals under the Company's domestic noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan as part of its redesigning of
the Company's employee benefit plans. Participants of the
plan who meet vesting requirements will earn benefits
based on years of service and compensation earned
through January 31, 1995. This change will result in the
Company recognizing a curtailment gain of $1,946,000
in the first quarter of 1995.
The STP product line was sold on March 2, 1995 for cash
of $1.1 million, and receivables of approximately $1.1 million
were retained and are expected to be collected in the nor-
mal course of business. The STP sale is expected to result
in the reversal of a portion of the restructuring reserves in
the first quarter of 1995.
