MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
The Company recorded net loss from continuing operations of ($665) or $(.05)
per common share in 1998 compared to $10,429 or $.80 per common share for 1997.
Earnings for 1998 included a pretax charge of $21,320 ($13,112 after tax) or
$1.07 per common share for plant closure and manufacturing reconfiguration at
the Huffy Bicycle Company. The plan includes actions such as the closure of the
Celina, Ohio manufacturing facility; leasing a new parts fabrication facility;
and expansion of its import program for bicycles. Net earnings from continuing
operations, excluding the Huffy Bicycle Company plant closure and
reconfiguration charges was $12,447, or $1.02 per common share for 1998.
Increased net earnings before the above mentioned charges is the result of
innovative new products and services, brand development and channel expansion, a
company wide focus on cost reduction, and bolt-on acquisitions. The 1997 net
earnings from continuing operations excludes operating results and gain from the
sale of the Company's juvenile products business which was sold to Evenflo
Company, Inc. in April, 1997. In 1997, the juvenile products business had net
sales of $37,180 and a net loss of $813, or $.06 per common share. The gain on
the sale of the juvenile products business was $559, or $.04 per common share.
Net Sales
Net sales in 1998 were $707,556, a 1.9% increase over net sales of $694,490
in 1997. Net sales in the Consumer Products segment decreased slightly over
1997. Net sales in this segment declined due to cautious retail orders and store
level inventory reductions, primarily in the sporting goods category.
In the Services for Retail segment, net sales increased by 9.0% over 1997,
primarily due to strong demand for inventory services.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for 1998 was $122,996, or 17.4% of net sales,
compared to $112,841, or 16.2% of net sales reported for 1997.
Both the Consumer Products and Services for Retail segments contributed to
the increase in gross profit for 1998. This increase in gross profit dollars was
primarily volume driven in the Services for Retail segment, while improved
margin was the major factor in the Consumer Products segment. Gross profit
expressed as a percent of net sales increased primarily due to improvements
achieved through cost reduction ("CRI") initiatives.
Consolidated gross profit in total and as a percentage of sales varies by
quarter due to normal seasonal fluctuations in both segments. In the Consumer
Products segment, True Temper Hardware Company typically experiences lower sales
in the third quarter due to the seasonal nature of its products. Lower gross
profit percentages in the fourth quarter are typically caused by seasonal
fluctuations at Huffy Bicycle Company and Washington Inventory Service. Huffy
Bicycle Company typically stops production for a period during December to
prevent inventory build-up. The fixed costs associated with this shutdown reduce
fourth quarter profitability. In the Services for Retail segment, Washington
Inventory Service also experiences a significant unfavorable seasonal impact
during the fourth quarter as retailers typically do not conduct inventories
during the Christmas season, causing low fourth quarter sales volume and reduced
gross profit.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 1998 were $93,994, a 2.3%
increase over 1997. In both segments, the increase in selling, general, and
administrative expenses is primarily due to volume related commissions, customer
service costs, and distribution costs which was partially offset by reduction in
employee benefit costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1997
were favorably impacted by an insurance recovery.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $8,981, a $3,467 increase over net interest expense
for 1997. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to high levels of
short-term borrowings which was partially offset by principal reduction in
long-term debt.
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1996
The Company recorded net earnings from continuing operations of $10,429 or
$.80 per common share in 1997, compared to $6,924, or $.51 per common share for
1996. Improved volume led to increased profitability in both segments. The net
earnings from continuing operations exclude operating results and gain from the
sale of the Company's juvenile products business which was sold to Evenflo
Company, Inc. in April, 1997. In 1997, the juvenile products business had net
sales of $37,180 and a net loss of $813, or $.06 per common share compared to
net sales of $122,209 and a net loss of $467, or $.03 per common share in 1996.
The gain on the sale of the juvenile products business was $559, or $.04 per
common share.

Net Sales
Net sales in 1997 were $694,490, a 19.8% increase over net sales of $579,670
in 1996. Net sales in the Consumer Products increased by 20.7% over 1996. Net
sales in the Consumer Products segment increased due to strong demand and market
share gains for bicycles and basketball backboard systems, combined with
increased market penetration and new customer distribution in the wheelbarrow
portion of the lawn and garden business.
In the Services for Retail segment, net sales increased by 17.9% over 1996,
primarily as a result of continued market penetration in the inventory services
and product assembly and merchandising services business.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for 1997 was $112,841, or 16.2% of net sales,
compared to $94,888, or 16.4% reported for 1996.
Volume increases in both the Consumer Products and Services for Retail
segments contributed to the increased gross profit dollars, Gross profit
expressed as a percent of net sales declined versus the prior year in the
Consumer Products segment due to continued intense competition and customer
demand for increased mix of promotionally priced products, while the Services
for Retail segment was unfavorably impacted by a shift in the mix of product
services provided.
Consolidated gross profit in total and as a percentage of sales varies by
quarter due to normal seasonal fluctuations at several Huffy Companies. True
Temper Hardware Company typically experiences lower sales in the third quarter
due to the seasonal nature of its products. Lower gross profit percentages in
the fourth quarter are typically caused by seasonal fluctuations at Huffy
Bicycle Company and Washington Inventory Service. Huffy Bicycle Company
typically stops production for a period during December to prevent inventory
build-up. The fixed costs associated with this shutdown reduce fourth quarter
profitability. Washington Inventory Service also experiences a significant
unfavorable seasonal impact during the fourth quarter as retailers typically do
not conduct inventories during the Christmas season, causing low fourth quarter
sales volume and reduced gross profit.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 1997 were $91,838, a 14.7%
increase over 1996. The increase in selling, general, and administrative
expenses is primarily due to volume related commissions and customer service
costs.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $5,514, a $277 decrease over net interest expense
for 1996. The decrease in interest expense is due primarily to principal
reduction in long-term debt, and reduced levels of short-term borrowings made
possible by the Gerry Baby Products Company sale.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The financial condition of the Company remained strong during 1998. Company
operations have historically provided a positive cash flow which, along with the
credit facilities maintained, provides adequate liquidity to meet the Company's
operational needs. Cash provided by continuing operations amounted to $26,554 in
1998, compared to $1,216 in 1997 and $2,784 in 1996.
Committed and uncommitted short-term lines of credit total $130,000 of which
$99,240 was outstanding at December 31, 1998. The Company believes that its
capital structure provides the financial flexibility to obtain additional
financing that may be necessary to fund future growth.
Funds expended for capital additions and improvements totaled $22,977 in 1998
compared to $17,493 in 1997 and $14,684 in 1996. In 1999, capital expenditures
are expected to be approximately $18,900, reflecting continuing investment in
new products and technology.
The Company's debt to total capital ratio decreased to 28.0% at December 31,
1998 compared to 28.0% at December 31, 1997 due to the scheduled repayment of
long-term obligations.
PLANT CLOSURE AND MANUFACTURING RECONFIGURATION
During 1998, the Company implemented a plan to maximize operational
efficiency by eliminating excess production capability and reducing annual
operating expenses at the Huffy Bicycle Company. The plan includes the closure
of the Celina, Ohio manufacturing facility to reduce capacity; the leasing of a
parts fabrication facility to support other plants; and the continuation of its
import program for opening price point bikes. In 1998, the Company incurred
plant closure and manufacturing reconfiguration charges of $21,320 ($13,112
after tax or $1.07 per share). These charges included severance and related
benefits ($6,548); facility shutdown and asset write-downs ($8,218); and new
facility startup and equipment, personnel and inventory relocation ($6,554). The
plant closure and manufacturing reconfiguration was substantially completed
during 1998.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many existing computer programs used globally use only two digits to identify
a year in the date field. These programs, if not corrected, could fail or create
erroneous results after the century date changes on January 1, 2000. This Year
2000 issue is believed to affect virtually all companies, including Huffy
Corporation.
Huffy Corporation relies on computer-based technology and uses a variety of
third-party hardware and proprietary and third-party software. In addition to
the information technology ("IT") systems, the Company's operations rely on
various non-IT equipment and systems that contain embedded computer technology.
During 1996, the Company began evaluating and assessing all its internal
date-sensitive systems and equipment
16
6
for Year 2000 compliance. The assessment phase of the Year 2000 project is
substantially complete and included both information technology equipment and
non-information technology equipment. Based on its assessment, the Company
determined that it was necessary to modify or replace a portion of its
information systems. For its major IT systems, as of December 31, 1998, the
Company is approximately 95% complete in the modification or replacement of its
critical software and hardware and expects all such modifications and
replacements to be completed by the spring of 1999. After completion of this
phase, the Company plans to test and implement its IT systems. As of December
31, 1998, the Company has completed testing of approximately 80% of its
remediated systems. Completion of the testing and implementation of all
remediated systems is expected by June 30, 1999.
The Company has also communicated with key suppliers and customers to
determine their Year 2000 compliance and the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to any third-party Year 2000 issues. Most key suppliers and customers
who have replied to our inquiries indicated that they expect to be Year 2000
compliant on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that there will not be an
adverse effect on the Company if third parties do not make the necessary
modifications to their systems in a timely manner. However, management believes
that ongoing communications with and assessment of these third parties will
minimize these risks.
The Company is actively involved in the assessment and development of
contingency plans and anticipates by December 31, 1999 contingency plans will be
developed for mission critical systems.
The Company's Year 2000 compliance program is directed primarily towards
ensuring that the Company will be able to continue to perform four critical
functions: (1) produce and ship goods, (2) order and receive inventory, (3) pay
its employees and vendors, and (4) schedule and perform service business. It is
difficult, or impossible, to assess with any degree of accuracy, the impact on
any of these four areas of the failure of one or more aspects of the Company's
compliance program.
Because the Company began this process in a timely fashion, and because it
regularly evaluates and upgrades its IT capabilities, the total estimated cost
of the Year 2000 project alone is not material and has been funded by operating
cash flows. The Company's remaining Year 2000 budget does not include material
amounts for hardware and software replacement.
The novelty and complexity of the Year 2000 issues, the proposed solutions,
and the Company's dependence on the technical skills of employees and
independent contractors and on the representatives and preparedness of third
parties are among the factors that could cause the Company's efforts to be less
than fully effective. Moreover, Year 2000 issues present a number of risks that
are beyond the Company's reasonable control, such as the failure of utility
companies to deliver electricity, the failure of telecommunications companies to
provide voice and data services, the failure of financial institutions to
process transactions and transfer funds, the failure of vendors to deliver
merchandise or perform services required by the Company and the collateral
effects on the Company of the effects of Year 2000 issues on the economy in
general or on the Company's business partners and customers in particular.
Although the Company believes that its Year 2000 compliance program is designed
to appropriately identify and address those Year 2000 issues that are subject to
the Company's reasonable control, there can be no assurance that the Company's
efforts in this regard will be fully effective or that Year 2000 issues will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company, along with others, has been designated as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the
environment in the Baldwin Park operable unit of the San Gabriel Valley
Superfund site. Currently, the Company, along with other PRPs, the San Gabriel
Basin Water Quality Authority and numerous local water districts are working
with the EPA on a mutually satisfactory remedial plan.
The total accrual for estimated environmental remediation costs related to
the Superfund site and other potential environmental liabilities is
approximately $6,100 at December 31, 1998. Management expects that the majority
of expenditures relating to costs currently accrued will be made over the next
two to ten years.
As a result of factors such as the continuing evolution of environmental laws
and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the
identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of
costs among PRPs, estimated costs for future environmental compliance and
remediation are necessarily imprecise and it is not possible to fully predict
the amount or timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements
which may subsequently be determined.
Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
liquidity, or its ongoing results of operations. However, such costs could be
material to results of operations in a future period.
INFLATION
Inflation rates in the United States have not had a significant impact on the
Company's operating results for the three years ended December 31, 1998. The
impact on the Company is minimized as a result of rapid turnover of inventories
and partially offset by cost reduction programs and increased operating
efficiency.

HUFFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[a] Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Huffy Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
[b] Reclassification -- Certain 1997 and 1996 balances have been reclassified
to conform with the 1998 presentation.
[c] Cash and Cash Equivalents -- Cash equivalents consist principally of
short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or
less.
[d] Concentrations of Credit Risk -- Financial instruments which potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 105, consist primarily of trade
accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, Huffy extends credit to
various companies in the retail industry where certain concentrations of credit
risk exist. These concentrations of credit risk may be similarly affected by
changes in economic or other conditions and may, accordingly, impact Huffy's
overall credit risk. However, management believes that consolidated accounts
receivable are well diversified, thereby reducing potential material credit
risk, and that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb
estimated losses as of December 31, 1998.
[e] Inventories -- Inventories are valued at cost (not in excess of market)
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for all bicycle and
basketball inventories. Lawn and garden tools inventories are valued on the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 57% and 60%,
respectively, of the Company's inventories were valued using the LIFO method.
[f] Property, Plant, and Equipment -- Depreciation and amortization of plant
and equipment is provided on the straight-line method.
Annual depreciation and amortization rates are as follows:
Land improvements 5 -- 10%
Buildings and improvements 2-1/2 -- 10%
Machinery and equipment 5 -- 33-1/3%
Office furniture, fixtures, and
equipment 10 -- 33-1/3%
Leasehold improvements 4-1/2 -- 33-1/3%
[g] Amortization of Intangibles -- The excess of cost over net assets
acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen to forty years. The
carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether goodwill has been impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will
not be recoverable, as determined based on projected undiscounted future cash
flows of the entity acquired, the Company's carrying value of goodwill would be
reduced by the estimated impairment.
[h] Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- The carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade accounts payable,
notes payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt
obligations is disclosed in Note (6).
[i] Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share -- Effective December 31, 1997, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which simplifies the standards
for computing earnings per share. Quarterly earnings per share for 1997 have
been restated to reflect the adoption, however, there was no material impact on
the Company's previously reported earnings per share. Earnings (loss) per share
of common stock is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed
based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding.
[j] Foreign Currency Translation -- The functional currency of the Company's
non-U.S. subsidiaries is the local currency. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of
comprehensive income.
[k] Use of Estimates -- Management of the Company has made a number of
estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
[l] Stock Option Plans -- Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for
its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be
recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying
stock exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to
recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based
awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net
income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option
grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined
in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply
the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
[2] ACQUISITIONS
In 1998 and 1997, the Company made several acquisitions to add product lines
to current businesses. In June, 1998, the Company acquired the assets of
Inventory Auditors, Inc. This acquisition combines the second and third largest
businesses in the inventory taking services industry in the U.S., and allows
expanded service coverage to the nation's retailers. Also in June 1998, the
Company acquired Lantz Manufacturing Corporation. Lantz broadens the Company's
position in lawn and garden tools, with leaf rakes, snow shovels, lawn edging
and splash blocks.

13
In December, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Royce Union Bicycle
Company, Inc. which holds a leading market position in the growing sporting
goods distribution channel. In July, 1997, the Company purchased the business
and assets of Sure Shot International, Inc. and Hydra-Rib, Inc. which produce
basketball units for institutional and in-arena use. The financial position and
earnings for these companies were immaterial to the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
[3] DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 21, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its Denver-based juvenile
products business, Gerry Baby Products Company, for $73 million to Evenflo
Company, Inc. The results of Gerry Baby Products Company have been classified as
discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
[4] PLANT CLOSURE AND MANUFACTURING RECONFIGURATION
During 1998, the Company implemented a plan to maximize operational
efficiency by eliminating excess production capacity and reducing annual
operating expenses at the Huffy Bicycle Company. The plan includes the closure
of the Celina, Ohio manufacturing facility to reduce capacity; the leasing of a
parts fabrication facility to support other plants; and the continuation of its
import program for opening price point bikes. The plan included the termination
of 935 hourly and salaried employees. In 1998, the Company incurred plant
closure and manufacturing reconfiguration charges of $21,320 ($13,112 after tax
or $1.07 per share). These charges included severance and related benefits
($6,548); facility shutdown and asset write-downs ($8,218); and new facility
startup and equipment, personnel and inventory relocation ($6,554). The
remaining plant closure and manufacturing reconfiguration reserve which is
included in other accrued expenses at December 31, 1998 includes $401 of unpaid
severance and $1,399 of environmental costs. The company anticipates the
remaining balance to be expended in 1999.
[5] INVENTORIES
The components of inventories are as follows:
1998 1997
Finished goods $51,758 $43,518
Work-in-process 10,985 13,699
Raw materials and supplies 23,336 30,505
------- -------
86,079 87,722
Excess of FIFO cost over
LIFO inventory value (3,612) (6,030)
------- -------
$82,467 $81,692
======= =======
[6] LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
During 1998, the Company had a short-term committed line of credit with
various banks in the form of a $50,000 revolving credit agreement of which the
entire document was outstanding at December 31, 1998. This agreement expires
December 31, 1999. The Company also had $80,000 in uncommitted lines of credit
on a no fee basis, of which $49,240 was outstanding at December 31, 1998.
Short-term borrowings are summarized as follows:
1998 1997
Unsecured notes payable:
Average borrowings $ 82,498 $16,152
Maximum at any month end 102,500 70,520
Weighted average rate 5.87% 5.99%
Long-term obligations are summarized as follows:
1998 1997
Unsecured notes payable:
9.62% due serially through 2000 $12,000 $15,000
9.81% due serially through 1998 -- 4,400
8.23% Industrial Development Bonds
due serially from 2000 through 2014 20,000 20,000
Other 4,195 4,570
------- -------
36,195 43,970
Less current installments 6,411 7,786
------- -------
$29,784 $36,184
======= =======
Certain of the loan agreements contain covenants which, among other things,
require the Company to maintain current assets equal to 150% of current
liabilities, limit the percentage of capitalization from funded debt, and
require that certain levels of net worth be maintained. The Company was in
compliance or had obtained bank waivers for all debt covenants as of
December 31, 1998.
Principal payments required on long-term obligations during each of the years
2000 through 2003 are approximately $7,683, $1,678, $1,697, and $1,717,
respectively.
The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term obligations at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $38,745 and $47,225, respectively.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. Fair value
estimates were based on the amount of future cash flows discounted using the
Company's current borrowing rate for loans of comparable maturity. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
[7] PREFERRED STOCK
Under the Company's Amended Articles of Incorporation, there are 1,000,000
authorized, unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value.
Subject to certain limitations, the Articles provide that the Board of Directors
may fix the conditions of each series of Preferred Stock.
The Company entered into a Rights Agreement with its transfer agent in 1988,
as amended in 1991 and 1994, and the Board of Directors declared a dividend of
one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each outstanding share of the Company's
Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, Preferred Share Purchase
Rights entitle the holder to purchase, at a price of $60.00, one one-hundredth
of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment. The
Rights become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the
24
14
Company's Common Stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the Common
Stock. Under certain circumstances, all Rights holders, except the person or
group holding 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock, will be entitled to
purchase a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock having a market value
of twice the Right's current exercise price. Alternately, if the Company is
acquired in a merger or other business combination, after the Rights become
exercisable the Rights will entitle the holder to buy a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time of twice each Right's
current exercise price.
Further, after a person or group acquires 15% or more (but less than 50%) of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock, the Company's Board of Directors may
exchange part or all of the Rights (other than the Rights held by the acquiring
person or group) for shares of Common Stock. The Rights expire December 9, 2004
and may be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Right at any time prior to the
acquisition by a person or group of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock.
[8] COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK PLANS
At December 31, 1998, the Company has stock-based compensation plans which
are described below. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in Accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans and its stock purchase plan
except for options issued below fair market value. The compensation cost that
has been charged against income for options issued below fair market value was
$202, $432, and $246 for 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent
with FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1998 1997 1996
Net earnings (loss)
As Reported $ (665) $10,175 $6,457
Pro Forma (1,279) 9,741 6,228
Net earnings (loss)
per common share
As Reported $ (.05) $ 0.78 $ 0.48
Pro Forma (.10) 0.75 0.46
Due to the phase-in period for applying the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 123, the pro forma information provided above is not likely to be
representative of the effects on reported net earnings for future years.
The Company has fixed option plans, which include the 1998 Qualified Plans,
the 1998 Non-Qualified Plan, the 1988 Stock Option Plan and Restricted Share
Plan and the 1987 Director Stock Option Plan. The 1998 Qualified Plans consist
of the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Key Employee Stock Plan, and
the 1998 Restricted Share Plan.
The 1998 Non-Qualified Plan, the 1998 Key Employee Stock Plan, and the 1988
Stock Option Plan and Restricted Share Plan authorize the issuance of
non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, incentive stock options, and
stock appreciation rights, although no incentive stock options or stock
appreciation rights have been issued. Under the plan, the exercise price of each
non-qualified stock option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the
date of the grant, and such option's maximum term is ten years. Options vest at
the end of the first through fifth years.
The 1998 Director Stock Option Plan and 1987 Director Stock Option Plan
authorizes the automatic issuance of non-qualified stock options to members of
the Board of Directors who are not

employees of the Company. Directors can elect to receive discounted stock
options in lieu of all or part of the annual retainer fee. Such shares cannot
include stock appreciation rights. Under the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan,
options vest at the end of six months and at the end of two years. Under the
1987 Director Stock Option Plan, options vest at the end of the third, fourth,
and fifth years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: dividend yield
of 2.4% for all years; expected volatility of 30.0% for all years; risk-free
interest rates from 5.5% to 6.8% for all plans and years; and expected lives of
5.8 years for all plans.
The 1989 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, authorizes the offering
and sale to employees of up to 975,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price approximately 90% of the closing price of the common stock on the offering
date. Under the plan, the Company sold 40,729 shares, 8,133 shares, and 37,627
shares to employees in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998,
rights to purchase 65,205 shares were outstanding under this plan at an exercise
price of $11.531 per share and 472,884 additional shares were available for
issuance.

Under FASB Statement No. 123, compensation cost is recognized for the fair
value of the employee's purchase rights, which was estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively: dividend yield of 2.4% for all years; an expected life of one year
for all years; a risk-free interest rate of 4.8% for 1998 grants, 5.7% for 1997
grants and 6.2% for 1996 grants, and expected volatility of 30.0% for all years.
The weighted-average fair value of those purchase rights granted in 1998, 1997,
and 1996 were $0.57, $1.85, and $2.41, respectively.

[10] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases certain manufacturing and warehouse facilities, office
space, machinery, and vehicles under cancellable and non-cancellable operating
leases, most of which expire within ten years and may be renewed by the Company.
Rent expense under such arrangements totaled approximately $9,308, $7,523, and
$6,308 in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases at
December 31, 1998 are as follows:

The Company is subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations, and claims
arising out of the conduct of its business primarily related to commercial
transactions and product liability. While it is not feasible to predict the
outcome of all pending suits and claims, management is of the opinion that their
ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial position, liquidity, or ongoing results of operations of
the Company.
[11] ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Remediation costs that relate to an existing
condition caused by past operations are accrued when it is probable that these
costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated.
The Company, along with others, has been designated as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the
environment in the Baldwin Park operable unit of the San Gabriel Valley
Superfund site ("Superfund"). Currently, the Company, along with other PRPs, the
San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority and numerous local water districts are
working with the EPA on a mutually satisfactory remedial plan. In developing its
estimate of environmental remediation costs, the Company considers, among other
things, currently available technological solutions, alternative cleanup methods
and risk-based assessments of the contamination and, as applicable, an
estimation of its proportionate share of remediation costs. The Company may also
make use of external consultants, and consider, when available, estimates by
other PRPs and governmental agencies and information regarding the financial
viability of other PRPs. Based upon information currently available, the Company
believes it is unlikely that it will incur substantial previously unanticipated
costs as a result of failure by other PRPs to satisfy their responsibilities for
remediation costs.
The Company has recorded environmental accruals, based upon the information
available, that are adequate to satisfy known remediation requirements. The
total accrual for estimated environmental remediation costs related to the
Superfund site and other potential environmental liabilities is approximately
$6,100 and $5,100 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. This accrual has not
27
17
been discounted, and management expects that the majority of expenditures
relating to costs currently accrued will be made over the next two to ten years.
As a result of factors such as the continuing evolution of environmental laws
and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the
identification of presently unknown remediation sites, and the allocation of
costs among potentially responsible parties, estimated costs for future
environmental compliance and remediation are necessarily imprecise and it is not
possible to fully predict the amount or timing of future costs of environmental
remediation requirements which may subsequently be determined.
Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
liquidity, or its ongoing results of operations. However, such costs could be
material to results of operations in a future period.
[12] BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering certain salaried
and hourly employees. Benefits to salaried employees are based upon the highest
three consecutive years of earnings out of their last ten years of service;
benefits to hourly workers are based upon their years of credited service.
Contributions to the plans reflect benefits attributed to employees' service to
date and also to services expected to be provided in the future. Plan assets
consist primarily of common and preferred stocks, common stock index funds,
investment grade corporate bonds, and U.S. government obligations.
In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plans, the Company
sponsors several defined benefit health care and life insurance plans that
provide postretirement medical, dental, and life insurance benefits to full-time
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The plans are
contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain other

cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The Company's policy
is to fund the cost of medical benefits in amounts determined at the discretion
of management.
In connection with the Celina plant closure, future benefits were terminated
for its employees under the postretirement medical and dental plans and a
curtailment gain of $2,725 was included in the plant closure and manufacturing
reconfiguration.
The Company also sponsors a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of
highly compensated management employees. The eligible employees make
contributions to the plan and receive postretirement benefits based upon a
stated rate of return on those contributions. The Company's policy is to fund
the cost of the benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.
The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair
value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets were $10,892, $10,777, and $4,906, respectively, as
December 31, 1998, and $54,619, $51,929, and $43,740, respectively, as December
31, 1997.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts
reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed
health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Prior to closure, the Celina, Ohio facility participated in a multiemployer
defined benefit plan. Contributions to the multiemployer plan totaled $489 in
1998 and $1,025 in 1997.
The Company maintains defined contribution retirement plans covering its
eligible employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
purpose of these defined contribution plans is generally to provide additional
financial security during retirement by providing employees with an incentive to
make regular savings. The Company's contributions to the plans are based on
employee contributions and were $599, $807, and $843 in 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal
income tax return. Such returns have been audited or settled through the year
1993.
Management expects that the Company's future levels of taxable income will be
sufficient to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Therefore, a valuation
allowance has not been established.
