Exhibits Index - Pages 19 and 20 Part I Item l. Business -------- A description of Dynamics Corporation of America ("DCA" or "Company") and financial information about industry segments on pages 22 and 23 of the annual report to security holders for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the classification of the Company's manufacturing divisions and subsidiary for industry segments, including a description of each, on page 24 of the annual report to security holders for the year ended December 31, 1996 are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise noted, the additional information required pursuant to this item which follows pertains to continuing operations of the Company, including the reclassified operations of the Fermont Division. Sources and Availability of Raw Materials - ----------------------------------------- DCA is a user of steel, aluminum, copper, plastics and electronic components. Generally, these materials are available from many sources, domestic and offshore. Prices paid are competitive. Supplies are normally plentiful except during national emergencies, unusually prolonged basic industry strikes, or periods of accelerated demand for products exceeding industry capacity. Patents and Trademarks - ---------------------- Although DCA owns or is licensed under a number of domestic and foreign patents and patent applications, management believes that no single patent or group of patents is material to the business as a whole. The trademarks Waring(R), Blendor(R), NuBlend(R), TouchBlend(R), Acme Juicerator(R), Qualheim(TM), Anemostat(R), Multi-Vent(R), Anemotrak(R), Envirotrak(R), LoPro(TM), and Environ(R) are well recognized in their trading areas and signify desirable quality and value. These trademarks should be available for Company use as long as it desires. Backlog - ------- The backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $85,167,000 at December 31, 1996 as compared with approximately $91,886,000 at December 31, 1995. Approximately 68% of the orders are expected to be completed in 1997. The Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment accounts for approximately 84% of the unfilled orders at December 31, 1996, and backlog continues to be significant when projecting future revenues of this segment of the Company's business. Customers - --------- In general, the businesses engaged in by the Company are not dependent upon one or a few customers, except that from 1994-1996 the Fermont Division classified in the Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment derived substantially all its revenues from the U.S. Government under several contracts for the design, testing and production of engine generator sets. The Company's Fermont Division is substantially dependent on the U.S. 1 Government for future business. The remaining segments of the Company serve a broad base of customers who are predominantly commercial in nature. Competition - ----------- DCA normally experiences varying degrees of competition with respect to each of its segments and with respect to particular products within each segment. The electrical appliances produced by the Company's Waring Products Division experience keen competition in the consumer and commercial segments of the market. The Company's Waring Blendor(R), TouchBlend(R), Acme Juicerator(R) and Qualheim(TM) trademarks are recognized names in their field. The Reeves-Hoffman Division encounters strong competition for the crystal products, oscillators and hermetic seal packages it sells due in large part to the multiplicity of suppliers in the industry. The same is true with respect to the heat dissipating devices sold by the Company's International Electronic Research Corporation subsidiary. Anemostat's air distribution, systems and door products compete in a well supplied market with regard to quality, price and delivery. The Company's Anemostat(R) air diffusers and LoPro(TM) vision frames and louvers for fire-rated doors are recognized names in the industry. Sales of these products tend to follow the expansion and contraction of the commercial construction industry. As a supplier of specialized equipment for government, industry and power plant use, the Ellis & Watts Division is generally required to submit competitive bids. The mobile medical van and transportable suite segment of the market which it serves is highly competitive among the suppliers serving that market. A substantial portion of the Fermont Division's business, the production of engine generator sets, has been with the U.S. Government on a contract basis, which in the ordinary course is conducted under invitations to bid and is highly competitive. Distribution - ------------ The methods of distribution and marketing utilized by the Company vary from division to division. In general, sales for all the Company's segments combine some direct selling in certain market areas with appropriate manufacturers' representatives, wholesalers, distributors and/or dealers. Research and Development - ------------------------ DCA engages in a variety of research and development programs throughout its divisions, the primary purposes of which are to improve existing products and processes, modify current products to extend their market life and expand markets by developing new products. Expenditures for Company sponsored research and development amounted to $1,435,000 in 1996, $1,732,000 in 1995 and $1,669,000 in 1994. A significant portion of each year's expenditures was incurred in the design and qualification testing of new and improved electrical appliances in the Electrical Appliances and Electronic Devices segment. 2 Environmental Matters - --------------------- The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") that it is a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") regarding hazardous waste cleanup at a non-Company site in Connecticut and at a Company site in California. Certain of the PRPs at the Connecticut site, having agreed with the EPA to fund a feasibility study at the site, sued the Company to recover a share of those costs and in September 1996 a $287,000 judgment was entered against the Company following trial of the action, which was subsequently paid. The Company has elected to participate in the allocation of responsibility proceedings conducted by the PRP group formed in connection with the Superfund site in the vicinity of the California site. A suit against the Company by a property owner neighboring the California site for allegedly causing contamination at the neighbor's property has been discontinued. In February 1996, the Company settled the past costs portion of a 1995 lawsuit by a state environmental agency to recover past and future response costs related to the cleanup of a non-Company site in Pennsylvania as to which the Company was earlier designated a PRP; and the Company has also been sued by certain of the PRPs who have agreed with the state agency to fund other past response costs at that site to recover a portion of those costs from the Company and other PRPs who have not agreed to participate in such funding. The Company is also a defendant in two lawsuits seeking contribution for Superfund cleanup costs relating to two other non-Company sites in that state. The amount of future environmental-related expenditures and the extent of insurance coverage is not determinable at this time and the Company is not in a position to estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, which may result from environmental-related matters. Based upon its knowledge of the extent of the Company's exposure and current statutes, rules and regulations, and emerging alternative remedial approaches, management believes that the anticipated costs resulting from claims and proceedings with respect to the above mentioned sites, including possible remediation, the extent of which is presently unknown, will not materially affect the financial position of the Company. However, it is possible, but unanticipated at this time, that future results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of these matters. In 1996 the Company incurred expenses of $1,111,000, including $912,000 for non-Company sites, to manage hazardous substances, to monitor pollutants, to test for contaminants, to provide for required removal activities and to settle the lawsuit for past response costs at the Connecticut site, a 59% increase in such expenses over the prior year. Accruals for such matters amounted to $951,000 and $565,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Number of Employees - ------------------- DCA employed 1,195 persons at December 31, 1996. Foreign Operations - ------------------ The Company sells in foreign countries primarily through manufacturers' representatives and agents and does not have manufacturing operations abroad. Revenues from sales abroad represented approximately 15% of sales in 1996 and 21% in 1995. In addition, the Company receives revenue from licenses and technology transfers which amounted to 3 $1,154,000 in 1996, $113,000 in 1995 and $157,000 in 1994. Included in the 1996 amount is income from royalties of $1,079,000 under a technology transfer agreement with a customer in the Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment; future royalty amounts from that customer are dependent upon future contract awards received by the customer. Reclassification of Fermont Division - ------------------------------------ Effective in April 1996, Fermont's results of operations are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, as a result of the Company's decision to bid on new contracts in addition to the contract to manufacture tactical quiet (TQ) generator sets for the U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command. Accordingly, reported results for prior periods have been reclassified. On September 30, 1991, the Company determined to discontinue operations at its Fermont Division, a manufacturer of electrical power systems for government and commercial markets, and put the assets and business up for sale. In conjunction with the discontinuance, the Company recorded a provision of $5,600,000 for operating losses estimated to be incurred prior to Fermont's disposition. At the time the operations were discontinued, Fermont was a party to a contract with the U.S. Government for the production of 3KW engine generator sets. The contract was subject to First Article approval of prototype 3KW units. A proposed change order was submitted to the Government in April 1992 seeking equitable compensation for constructive changes by the Government and associated delays in the contract. In May 1994, the Company agreed to accept $6,450,000 from the Government in settlement of the preproduction portion of its proposed change order, which amount is included in net sales. The settlement, net of related expenses and income taxes, amounted to $3,334,000, or $.86 per share. The Government contracted for further testing of prototype units at that time. In March 1995, the Government terminated the 3KW contract for the convenience of the Government; the Company filed a claim for compensation for its costs and losses related to the termination. In September 1996, the Company agreed to accept $1,937,000 from the Government in settlement of its claim related to that termination, which amount is included in net sales. The settlement, net of amounts due to subcontractors, income taxes and other related costs, amounted to $915,000, or $.24 per share. In January 1995, Fermont was awarded the TQ contract. The Government's initial delivery order issued with the award and subsequent additions call for deliveries of gensets aggregating $81.8 million. Shipments began in March 1997 and are scheduled to continue through 1998. Investment in CTS Corporation - ----------------------------- At December 31, 1996, the Company's holdings of the common stock of CTS Corporation ("CTS") aggregated 2,303,100 shares. The Company's equity ownership in CTS represents 44.1% of the outstanding stock of CTS. 4 The current CTS Board of Directors is comprised of five individuals including two directors who also are officers and directors of DCA. The Company's investment in CTS is accounted for under the equity method. CTS, whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, designs, manufactures and sells electronic and electromechanical components for the automotive, computer equipment, communications equipment, instruments and controls, defense and aerospace and consumer electronics markets. CTS is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana and operates manufacturing plants in the U.S. and abroad, primarily in a single business segment, electronic components, in worldwide markets.
