PART I
Item 1. Business
Douglas & Lomason Company (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a
major supplier of original equipment parts to the North American automotive
industry. Automotive products, which have accounted for approximately 94%
of the Company's total sales during each of the last three years, include
fully trimmed seating, seating components and mechanisms, and decorative
and functional body trim parts. These products are manufactured primarily
for the three major U.S. automotive manufacturers and other original
equipment suppliers.
The Company also manufactures material handling systems and custom
truck bodies and trailers. These products have accounted for approximately
6% of the Company's total sales during each of the last three years.
The Registrant classifies its business into two segments:
automotive products and industrial and commercial products. Exclusive of
automotive products, no segment accounts for 10 percent or more of
consolidated revenues or profits. A summary of certain segment information
appears in note (6) of notes to consolidated financial statements on page
20 of the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by
reference.
AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS
Seating
Seating systems and components account for the principal portion
of the Company's automotive business. The Company is one of the major
independent manufacturers and assemblers of seating systems and components
for the North American automotive industry. Seat assemblies produced by
the Company satisfy the seat requirements of a full range of vehicles. The
Company currently supplies complete seats to customer assembly plants on a
"just-in-time" (JIT) "sequenced parts delivery" (SPD) basis for passenger
cars and vans.
The Company's seat frame business has grown significantly over the
48 years it has been supplying seating systems and components to the North
American automotive industry. The Company believes it is currently one of
the largest independent manufacturers of seat frames in North America. The
seat frames manufactured by the Company are incorporated by it into
complete seats and sold to vehicle assembly plants and are also sold
separately to other seat assemblers. The Company believes that it is
recognized as one of the most vertically integrated independent seat
manufacturers in North America. The Company is capable of producing seat
frames, manual seat mechanisms, foam, covers, suspension systems, and
plastic seat trim at its manufacturing facilities.
The Company believes that opportunities for growth may emerge in
foreign transplant operations in North America and from the expanding trend
toward seat assembly outsourcing in Europe. The Company has established
technical and business relationships with three Japanese partners to
facilitate the exchange of technical information and to establish business
relationships with foreign automakers. In 1988, the Company formed a
50/50 joint venture company with Namba Press Works Co., Ltd. of Japan.
This company, named Bloomington-Normal Seating Company, is located in
Normal, Illinois and manufactures seating systems for Diamond-Star Motors,
a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. The Company also has a
license agreement with Imasen Electric of Japan for the manufacture of
manual seat adjuster mechanisms.
Body Trim Components
The Company has been supplying decorative body trim components to
the automotive industry since 1902. These products include body side,
wheel opening and structural B-pillar moldings, head and tail lamp bezels,
bumpers, including those back filled with Azdel, and window and door
sealing systems. The Company has the capability of processing large
quantities of metal, plastic and composite material parts through injection
molding, pressing, rolling, laminating and extruding systems and finishing
parts through anodizing and painting.
The Company produces a variety of injection molded and extruded
plastic moldings including bi-laminate body side and deck lid moldings.
These moldings can be finished in a variety of ways such as with a high
gloss, in body colors including metallics, or with encapsulated colorful
graphics.
Product Engineering
The Company pursues new products and processes through a 180
person product engineering staff. This staff is customer-focused in that
all new projects must be based on a customer's requirements. This
facilitates the development of products in shorter lead time and matches
products more closely to consumer requirements.
Sales and Customers
Sales coverage by the Company of the North American automotive
industry is maintained by an experienced direct sales staff consisting of
24 account managers, divided into separate and distinct customer-focused
groups. The sales group is supported by fully developed program management
teams incorporating simultaneous engineering techniques.
The percent of sales to total automotive sales of seating systems
and body trim components to the three major automotive manufacturers during
the past three years is as follows:
1992 1993 1994
Chrysler Corporation........................ 50% 51% 39%
Ford Motor Company.......................... 25 25 40
General Motors Corporation.................. 18 15 14
Sales percentages include sales to other seat assemblers for
ultimate sale to the above customers.
INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
This segment of the Company's business accounted for approximately
6% of total Company sales in each of the three years ended December 31,
1994.
-2-
Industrial and commercial products include:
Material Handling Equipment. The Company designs and manufactures
material handling equipment such as conveyors, bagging and packaging
machines, pulleys and rollers. The Company also produces related equipment
such as elevators, bag flatteners, automatic palletizers and bag placers.
These products are sold to the agriculture, mining and transportation
industries among others.
Custom Truck Bodies and Trailers. The Company serves the food and
beverage industry through the design and manufacture of delivery truck
bodies and trailers for soft drinks, beer, bottled water, bakery products,
milk and ice cream, meats, frozen foods and other products. These units
include side-loading aluminum bodies and trailers, and steel, aluminum or
reinforced fiberglass refrigerated truck bodies and trailers.
Competition
The Company is one of the three major independent seat suppliers
to the North American automotive industry. The Company's primary
independent competitors are Johnson Controls Inc.'s Automotive Products
Group and Lear Seating Inc. The Company also competes with captive seating
suppliers, namely: Delphi Interior and Lighting Systems of General Motors
Corporation and the Plastic Trim Products Division of Ford Motor Company.
The Company's body trim business competes with a significant
number of major competitors. There are 10 to 12 with a full range of
material, process and product capabilities similar to the Company's and
several competitors with specialized niche products.
GENERAL
Raw materials purchased by the Registrant consisting of carbon
steel, aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, and fabric are generally
available from numerous independent sources. Management believes that the
trend in its material costs is upward.
While the Registrant owns several patents and patent rights,
patent protection is not materially significant to its business.
To the best of the Registrant's knowledge, its permits are in
compliance with all federal, state and local environmental protection
provisions.
The number of persons employed by the Registrant at December 31,
1994 was 6,039.
The Registrant does not consider its business seasonal except to
the extent that automotive changeovers to new models affect business
conditions.
Item 2. Properties
The corporate offices of the Company and the product engineering
staff are located in Farmington Hills, Michigan in three buildings
containing approximately 96,000 square feet. Information as to the
Company's 18 principal facilities in operation as of December 31, 1994 is

REQUIRED INFORMATION FROM 1994 ANNUAL REPORT
Exhibit 13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Funds provided from operations of $15.8 million and proceeds from new borrowings
of $9.0 million were the Company's primary sources of cash in 1994. The funds
provided from operations were positively impacted by the increase in operating
income of $21.4 million in 1994 from $11.2 million before provision for plant
closings in 1993. Funds generated from operations and net borrowings enabled the
Company to purchase additional plant and equipment amounting to $14.6 million
and reduce long-term debt by $5.8 million. Debt to total capitalization was
27.1% at December 31, 1994.
In June 1994, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Unsecured
Revolving Credit Agreement with two banks which matures in June 1997, but may be
extended for two additional years. The amended agreement increased the credit
facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million. Borrowings under this facility
totaled $16.0 million at December 31, 1994, with an effective interest rate of
6.7%, leaving $19.0 million available to borrow. Management believes it has
adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's operating and capital
expenditure requirements in 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 1994 VERSUS 1993
Net Sales
Net sales of $566.8 million in 1994 were the highest in the Company's history
and increased 33% over 1993 net sales of $424.8 million. Fourth quarter 1994 net
sales of $182.4 million increased 62% compared to $112.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 1993. Fourth quarter 1994 sales were also the highest in the
Company's history. The sales increase was due principally to the commencement of
full production of fully trimmed seats for the recently introduced Ford Contour
and Mercury Mystique models at the Company's new Excelsior Springs, Missouri
plant, and the increased production of fully trimmed seats for the Ford Aerostar
minivan at the Troy, Missouri plant. Industry sales of automobiles, vans and
light trucks continued to be positively affected by a strong consumer demand
throughout 1994, which is expected to continue into 1995.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales declined slightly in 1994 to 92.4%
compared to 92.7% in 1993. This slightly favorable trend was attributable to the
significantly higher sales volume during the last six months of 1994. Higher raw
material prices, particularly in metals, chemicals and plastics, and pressure
for customer price concessions could result in a trend toward reduced margins in
1995 despite anticipated higher sales volume.
During the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company decided to close certain plants,
and in connection therewith established a plant closing accrual of $10.0 million
for employee severance benefit costs, environmental costs, facilities
maintenance and other, $4.0 million of which remained at December 31, 1994. The
accrual reduction included $1.2 million of employee severance and benefits and
$650,000 of facilities maintenance costs taken into income during the third and
fourth quarters of 1994, respectively. Furthermore, in compliance with current
guidance, site restoration and other environmental exit costs of $2.5 million
were reclassified from the provision for plant closing accrual to other accrued
liabilities during the fourth quarter of 1994.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1994 increased approximately
$2.2 million from 1993, but decreased significantly as a percent of sales to
3.9% compared to 4.6% of sales in 1993. Incentive compensation, additional
staffing, travel and professional services expense were the principal components
of the increase in 1994, but should not continue to increase in 1995.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense in 1994 increased $1.2 million or 10% from 1993. The
increase was attributable to increased capital expenditures in 1994 of $14.6
million and in 1993 of $20.5 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 1994 decreased $86,000 or 3% from 1993. This decrease was
attributable to the lower debt level in the first and second quarters of 1994.
12
Net Earnings (Loss)
Net earnings in 1994 of $12.5 million or $2.95 per share compared with a net
loss of $7.2 million or $1.70 per share in 1993. Results for 1993 included a
$9.6 million after tax provision for closing certain plants and a $3.8 million
after tax provision to reflect the change in the method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions which was in conformity with
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits." Net earnings in 1993 exclusive of the two items mentioned above were
$6.2 million or $1.47 per share.
The improvement in 1994 net earnings was primarily attributable to the
significant sales increase of 33%, which included higher production of
automobiles and light trucks nationwide, combined with cost reductions and
improvements in productivity in several areas.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 1993 VERSUS 1992
Net Sales
Net sales of $424.8 million for 1993 increased 9% compared to 1992 net sales of
$391.2 million. Sales of products for Chrysler's highly successful LH model and
increased sales at the Richmond, Michigan plant prior to its closing in May,
1993 were the significant components of the 1993 sales increase. The decline in
sales as a result of the planned plant closings was more than offset by the
start-up of new production in 1994.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 92.7% in 1993 compared
to 91.6% in 1992. This unfavorable trend in both the third and fourth quarter of
1993 was a direct result of the excess start-up costs at the new plant in
Saltillo, Mexico, combined with an increase in the price of steel which is a
major component in automotive seating systems. Price concessions to customers
also adversely affected the cost of sales ratio. The total cost reduction
estimated to be realized from the plant closings was expected to approximate
$3.0 million in 1994 and $5.0 million annually thereafter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1993 increased approximately
$1.8 million from 1992, but remained constant as a percentage of sales.
Additional staffing for Sales and Information Services was the principal
component of this increase.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense in 1993 increased $1.6 million or 15% from 1992. The
increase was attributable to significantly higher capital expenditures of $20.5
million in 1993 and $16.7 million in 1992. The effect of the plant closings was
expected to result in a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $1.0
million in 1994.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 1993 decreased $.8 million or 23% from 1992. This decrease
was attributable to lower average debt and lower interest rates. Debt to total
capitalization was 21.9% at December 31, 1993.
Net Earnings (Loss)
The net loss in 1993 of $7.2 million or $1.70 per share resulted principally
from the change in accounting principle of $3.8 million or $.90 per share and
the provision for plant closings of $9.6 million or $2.28 per share. Net
earnings from operations in 1993, exclusive of the two items mentioned above,
were $6.2 million or $1.47 per share compared to $8.8 million or $2.25 per share
in 1992.
The 1993 net earnings from operations before the provision for plant closings
were negatively impacted by excessive start-up costs at the Saltillo, Mexico
plant and an increase in the price of steel which is a major component in
automotive seating systems. Customer price concessions also affected net sales
and net earnings adversely. The fourth quarter net loss of $7.9 million or $1.86
per share was significantly contributed to by the provision for plant closings
of $9.6 million or $2.28 per share. Net earnings from operations before the
provision for plant closings in the fourth quarter were $1.7 million or $.42 per
share compared to $3.0 million or $.72 per share in 1992.
New Accounting Standard
In November 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which requires
employers to record postemployment benefit costs that are probable and estimable
over the period during which the benefit vests or accumulates. The provisions of
Statement No. 112 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1993. The Company does not expect implementation of this Statement in 1994 to
have any effect on its financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
Douglas & Lomason Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's investment in a 50% owned affiliate is accounted for on the equity
method.
Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and bank debt. At December 31, 1994, the Company
believes the fair value of these financial instruments approximates the carrying
amount.
Inventories
Inventories are stated as the lower of cost or market (net realizable value).
Cost for substantially all inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) cost method. Tooling in process represents unique manufacturing equipment
costs incurred, which are partially reimbursed by customers, and the balance
amortized over the years the tools benefit. Pre-production design and
engineering costs incurred at the request of the customer, when significant, are
capitalized and amortized over the years the costs benefit. Tooling and
pre-production design and engineering costs that benefit future periods, less
accumulated amortization, are included in other assets, with the current portion
included in inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment under
capital leases are stated at the present value of future minimum lease payments.
Depreciation is computed using both straight line and accelerated methods over
the estimated useful lives of the assets: 10 to 20 years for land improvements,
10 to 40 years for buildings and 2 to 12 years for machinery and equipment.
Plant and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are
amortized straight line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful
life of the asset. The cost and accumulated depreciation of a fully depreciated
asset remain in the accounts. When a sale or abandonment occurs, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting
gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Repairs and maintenance are charged to
earnings as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." For the year ended December
31, 1992, income taxes were determined in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Both Statement 109
and Statement 96 require income taxes be determined using the asset and
liability method. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under
Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
The adoption of Statement 109 did not have a material effect on the 1993
consolidated financial statements.
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Annual costs of the Company's pension and postretirement benefits other than
pensions are determined actuarially in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," and No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are generally translated at
current exchange rates, and related translation adjustments are reported as a
component of shareholders' equity. Income statement accounts are translated at
the average rates during the period.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year.
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities are recorded for loss contingencies, including environmental
remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, and other sources when the
amount of the assessment and/or remediation cost is probable and can be
reasonably estimated.
Reclassification
Certain amounts related to prior years have been reclassified to conform with
the 1994 presentation.
18
(2) INVENTORIES
Substantially all inventories are valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost
method. In the opinion of management, the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost
approximates replacement cost.
Inventories consist of the following:
1994 1993
Raw materials $14,511,645 $12,741,266
Work in process 6,834,045 5,327,528
Tooling in process 2,063,979 2,010,539
Finished goods 5,838,950 3,356,670
Inventories at FIFO basis 29,248,619 23,436,003
Less adjustment of certain
inventories to a LIFO basis 9,457,294 9,000,570
$19,791,325 $14,435,433
(3) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

(4) INDEBTEDNESS
Long-term debt is summarized as follows:
1994 1993
Notes payable to banks $35,062,500 $23,437,500
Capital leases 1,163,130 2,217,445
Other 1,600,000 2,000,000

Less current installments 5,938,130 5,829,315
$31,887,500 $21,825,630
In 1994, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement
aggregating $35.0 million with two banks which replaces the line of credit
previously in effect. Interest only payments are due at various dates at
interest rates based on various factors which are at or below the banks' prime
rate.
At December 31, 1994, $16.0 million was outstanding on the revolving agreement,
and the effective interest rate was 6.75 percent. This revolver expires on June
24, 1997, but may be extended for two additional years.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had an unsecured term loan with two banks
totaling $12.5 million. Quarterly payments of principal and interest (at 7.95%)
are required with the final balance due October 31, 1999. The aggregate
maturities on this loan are $2,500,000 each year from 1995 through 1999.
The Company had another unsecured term loan agreement with two banks totaling
$6,562,500 at December 31, 1994. Quarterly payments of principal and interest
(at 9.95%) are required with the final balance due May 31, 1998. The aggregate
maturities on this loan are $1,875,000 each year from 1995 through 1997 and
$937,500 in 1998.
During 1993, the Company acquired intangible assets in exchange for a $2.0
million obligation, payable in five equal annual installments through 1998. At
December 31, 1994, the unpaid portion of this obligation was $1.6 million.
Under a capital lease agreement, the Company agreed to purchase certain
equipment at a nominal amount on the expiration date. The following is a
schedule of future minimum lease payments under this capital lease agreement,
together with the present value of the total minimum lease payments:
Total minimum lease payments expiring in 1995 $ 1,236,306
Less amount representing interest at 9.94% 73,176
Present value of minimum lease payments $ 1,163,130
The bank notes and capital lease agreement contain restrictive covenants
regarding consolidated working capital and funded debt to capitalization. The
Company was in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 1994.
(5) INCOME TAXES
Earnings (loss) before income taxes and the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting, as shown in the consolidated statements of earnings, consist of the

(5) INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
A reconciliation of the "expected" income tax expense (benefit) based on the
federal corporate income tax rate of 35% (34% in 1993 and 1992) to the actual
income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:
1994 1993 1992

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1994 and
1993, are as follows:
1994 1993
Deferred tax assets:
Plant and equipment, due to
difference in depreciation $ 801,000 $ 1,696,000
Accrued postretirement
benefits deductible for tax
purposes when paid 3,688,000 2,768,000
Other expenses deductible for
tax purposes when paid 2,203,000 2,377,000
Accrued plant closing costs 3,700,000 5,397,000
Other items, net 4,580,000 765,000
Gross deferred assets 14,972,000 13,003,000

Deferred tax assets 13,509,000 11,540,000
Deferred tax liabilities:

difference in depreciation 7,644,000 6,745,000
Other items, net 3,673,000 246,000
Deferred tax liabilities 11,317,000 6,991,000
Net deferred tax assets $ 2,192,000 $ 4,549,000
Management has determined, based on the Company's history of domestic taxable
income and its expectation of the future, that domestic operating income of the
Company will likely be sufficient to fully recognize these net deferred tax
assets.

Identifiable assets are those assets used in, or resulting from, the operation
of a segment. Corporate assets, principally cash, administrative offices and
other assets, are not classified as identifiable assets.
(7) PENSION BENEFITS
The Company has non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of its
salaried and hourly employees. The benefits are based on either years of service
and the employee's compensation during the last five years of employment, or a
fixed-dollar rate for each year of credited service up to a maximum of forty
years. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs accrued.
The following table sets forth the funded status of the plans and amounts
recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and
1993:
1994 1993
Actuarial present value
of benefit obligations:
Vested benefit obligations $ 29,623,000 $ 30,072,000
Accumulated benefit
obligations $ 30,325,000 $ 31,338,000
Projected benefit
obligations $ 35,268,000 $ 37,378,000
Plan assets at fair
market value 39,100,000 42,471,000
Plan assets in excess
of projected benefit
obligations 3,832,000 5,093,000
Unamortized transition
assets (2,629,000) (2,963,000)
Unamortized prior
service cost 2,073,000 1,673,000
Unrecognized net gain (5,848,000) (4,971,000)
Accrued pension cost
included in the consolidated
balance sheets $ 2,572,000 $ 1,168,000
Assets in the plans consist mainly of investments in common stocks, private
sector bonds and federal government obligations.
The components of net pension costs for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993
and 1992, were as follows:
1994 1993 1992
Service cost $ 2,376,000 $ 2,033,000 $ 1,836,000
Interest cost 2,663,000 2,469,000 2,212,000
Actual return
on assets 2,081,000 300,000 (8,388,000)
Net amortization
and deferral (5,716,000) (4,384,000) 5,190,000
Net pension cost $ 1,404,000 $ 418,000 $ 850,000
Assumptions used in accounting for the pension plans as of December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, were as follows:
1994 1993 1992
Discount rate 8.25% 7.25% 8.00%
Rate of increase in
compensation
levels 4.00% 4.00% 5.00%
Expected long-term
rate of return
on assets 8.00% 8.00% 8.00%
(8) OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company sponsors two
postretirement benefit plans that cover salaried employees and their dependents.
One plan provides medical benefits and the other plan provides life insurance
benefits. The postretirement medical plan is contributory until the retiree
turns age 65, or if the retiree is at least age 62 and retired with 15 or more
years of service. The accounting for this plan is consistent with the Company's
expressed intent to modify its future contribution policy such that the
Company's contributions will be capped at three times the 1993 cost levels. The
life insurance plan provides death benefits that vary depending on salary at
retirement.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension," as of
January 1, 1993. The effect of adopting Statement 106 on net earnings for the
year ended December 31, 1993 was a decrease of approximately $4,040,000, which
included an increase in the pre-tax net periodic postretirement benefit cost of
approximately $559,000. Postretirement benefit costs were less than $200,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1992, which were recorded on a cash basis and have
not been restated.
21
(8) OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
The following table presents the funded status of these obligations reconciled
with amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at
December 31, 1994 and 1993:
1994 1993
Accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation:
Retirees $ 3,680,000 $ 3,492,000
Fully eligible active
salaried employees 231,000 1,364,000
Other active employees 4,456,000 4,399,000
8,367,000 9,255,000
Plan assets at fair value, primarily
insurance contracts 807,000 921,000
Accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation in
excess of plan assets 7,560,000 8,334,000
Unrecognized net loss (26,000) (1,813,000)
Accrued postretirement benefit
cost included in the consolidated
balance sheets $ 7,534,000 $ 6,521,000
Net periodic postretirement
benefit cost for 1994 and 1993
includes the following
components:
Service cost $ 456,000 $ 341,000
Interest cost 598,000 572,000
Actual return on assets (60,000) (59,000)
Net amortization and deferral 19,000 --
Net periodic postretirement
benefit cost $ 1,013,000 $ 854,000
For measurement purposes, the annual percent rate of increase in the per capita
cost of health care benefits (i.e. health care cost trend rate) for 1994 was
assumed to vary by age category and by type of health care service. For benefits
provided to participants under age 65, the 1994 trend was assumed to be 14% for
prescription drugs and 13.2% for all other costs. These rates were assumed to
decrease gradually to approximately 6% over the next 15 years and remain at that
level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care
cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by 1.1%
and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1994 by .8%.
The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
were 8.25 % and 4%, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The expected long-term
rate of return on assets was 8%.
The unrecognized net loss is being amortized over the average remaining service
period of active plan participants (21 years).
(9) PROVISION FOR PLANT CLOSINGS
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $15.0
million in connection with management's decision to close certain automotive
plants. This resulted in an after tax charge of $9.6 million or $2.28 per share.
$5.0 million of this charge was immediately utilized for the devaluation of
building and equipment. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the components of the
accrual consist of the following:
1994 1993
Employee severance and
benefit costs $ 1,000,000 $ 3,000,000
Site restoration and other
environmental exit costs -- 2,500,000
Facility maintenance
costs and other 3,000,000 4,500,000
$ 4,000,000 $10,000,000
During 1994, $850,000 was charged to facility maintenance costs and other, and
$800,000 for the payment of employee severance and benefit costs. These
severance payments represented the majority of the 12% expected workforce
reduction. In addition, $1.2 million of employee severance and benefit costs and
$650,000 of facilities, maintenance and other costs were taken into income
during the third and fourth quarters of 1994, respectively. Furthermore, in
compliance with current guidance, site restoration and other environmental exit
costs of $2.5 million were reclassified from the provision for plant closing
accrual to other accrued liabilities during the fourth quarter of 1994. The cash
outflows for the remaining accrued liability are expected to occur over the next
two years.
Selected financial information for these automotive facilities for the years
ended December 31, are as follows:
1994 1993 1992
Sales $ 34,798,664 $ 71,754,231 $ 84,256,465
Pre-tax
earnings (loss) $ 359,027 $(15,597,071) $ (1,902,175)
(10) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is involved in proceedings related to environmental matters under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
(Superfund) and similar state laws at three sites. The Company is one of several
potentially responsible parties in one case. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
the Company has recorded an accrual of $3.5 million and $3.1 million,
respectively, for estimates of future clean-up costs in connection with its
internal site assessment and compliance program. Estimates of future liability
are based on an evaluation of currently available facts regarding each
individual site and consider factors including existing technology, presently
enacted laws and regulations, and prior Company experience in remediation of
contaminated sites. Changes in EPA standards, improvements in clean-up
technology and discovery of additional information concerning these sites and
other sites could result in future expenses that are greater than the accrued
liability. Management believes that these matters will not have a material
adverse effect upon its future financial position or results of operations.
22
(11) STOCK OPTION PLANS
Under the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan, 225,000 shares (as adjusted for the
1992 stock split) of the Company's common stock have been reserved for grants to
officers and key employees at prices which are not less than the fair market
value on the date of the grant. Stock options outstanding of 7,875 at December
31, 1993, under the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan are exercisable at an
option price of $17.50 per share. This Plan expired in February, 1992 and,
accordingly, no additional options are available for grant. Stock options
outstanding of 92,500 at December 31, 1994, under the 1990 Plan are exercisable
at a weighted option price of $16.98 per share. Options granted, but not
exercised, expire within five years from the date of the grant. Transactions for
the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, were as follows:
Number of Shares
1994 1993 1992
Outstanding at
beginning of year 66,175 100,075 133,575

(12) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Net exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of assets and
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are accumulated in a separate section of
shareholders' equity titled, "foreign currency translation adjustment." Also
included are the effects of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions
of a long-term nature.
Analysis of this account follows:

for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Douglas & Lomason
Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993 to adopt the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As discussed in
note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company also adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" in 1993.
