PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS
Anthony Industries, Inc. ("Anthony" or the "Company") is a diversified
manufacturer and distributor of brand name sporting goods, specialty active
apparel, and other recreational products. In addition, the Company manufactures
and distributes selected industrial products. For financial information and a
geographic breakdown regarding the recreational and industrial segments, see
Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, "Segment Data," in Part
II, Item 8 of this Form 10K.
The Company, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, was founded in 1946 as
Anthony Pools, Inc. The Company's common stock was first offered to the public
in 1959 and is currently traded on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges
(symbol: ANT). Set forth below is a description of the recreational and
industrial businesses of the Company.
RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS
Anthony's Recreational Products segment consists of three product classes:
outdoor sporting goods, active & sporting apparel and home recreational
products. Total sales for the segment were $332.1 million, $285.5 million and
$266.6 million for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
OUTDOOR SPORTING GOODS. Anthony's outdoor sporting goods are used in a wide
variety of sports and sporting activities and are marketed under the following
brand names:
BRAND PRODUCT
----- -------
K2(R) alpine skis
K2(R) snowboards
K2(R) in-line skates
Olin(R) alpine skis
Shakespeare(R) fishing rods, reels, and fishing kits and combos
Stearns(R) personal flotation devices, wetsuits, rainwear
and snorkeling equipment
ProFlex(R) full-suspension mountain bikes
Girvin(R) flex-stems
Dana Design(R) backpacks
Wilderness Experience(R) backpacks, apparel
Sales of outdoor sporting goods accounted for $224.6 million, $192.7 million
and $170.8 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Skis, snowboards and in-line skates. The Company manufactures its alpine skis
in the United States and Norway for sale in North America, Europe and Japan
under the K2 and Olin names. K2 snowboards, introduced in 1987, are
manufactured by the Company in the United States for sale in the United States,
Europe and Japan. K2 in-line skates, introduced in 1994, are manufactured to
Company specifications by a vendor in Korea, although certain components, such
as wheels, are made in the United States. In-line skates are sold by the
Company in the United States, Europe and Japan. The Company manufactures cross-
country skis under the name Madshus for a retailer/distributor which owns the
name and sells the skis principally in Europe. K2 products are sold by
independent sales representatives in the United States, and through independent
distributors and/or Company-owned distributors in Europe, to specialty retail
shops and to sporting goods chains.
1
Fishing Tackle. The Company sells fishing rods, reels, fishing line and
fishing kits and combos worldwide through the fishing tackle division of its
subsidiary Shakespeare Company ("Shakespeare"). Shakespeare fishing tackle is
manufactured principally in the People's Republic of China, although rod
components, including blanks for the Ugly Stick fishing rods, are made by the
Company in the United States. Certain other products are manufactured to the
Company's specifications by vendors in Asia. Shakespeare products are
distributed through an in-house marketing staff and through independent sales
representatives to mass merchandisers, single-store retailers, and chain
stores.
Water Safety Products. Stearns manufactures and sells flotation vests,
jackets and suits ("personal flotation devices"), cold water immersion
products, neoprene wetsuits, rainwear and snorkeling equipment, to the
recreational industries, the off-shore oil industry, commercial fishermen and
other commercial users, both domestically and internationally. Other than
rainwear, neoprene wetsuits and snorkeling equipment, which it purchases from
suppliers mainly in Asia, Stearns' products are manufactured by it in the U.S.
and distributed throughout the world by an in-house marketing staff and
independent sales representatives. The laws of the U.S. and most states require
that occupants of boats either wear or have available to them personal
flotation devices meeting Coast Guard standards. Stearns' personal flotation
devices are manufactured to those standards and are subject to rigorous testing
for certification by Underwriters Laboratories. International regulations
require merchant marine operators and commercial fishermen to equip their
fleets with cold water immersion suits, where appropriate. The Company believes
that Stearns is the largest manufacturer of personal flotation devices in the
United States.
Mountain Bikes. Girvin, acquired in 1993, designs and distributes full-
suspension mountain bikes and components under the Girvin(R), Girvin
Flexstem(R), Vector(R), and ProFlex(R) brand names in the United States,
Western Europe and Asia. Certain components, particularly front forks, are
manufactured by Girvin in the U.S. The mountain bikes are assembled to Girvin's
specifications by a vendor in Asia. Girvin distributes its products through an
in-house marketing staff and through independent sales representatives to
independent bicycle dealers in the U.S., and through distributors
internationally.
Outdoor products. Dana Design and Wilderness Experience ("Wilderness") were
acquired by the Company in February 1995 and December 1994, respectively, and
their operations have been combined. Dana Design and Wilderness design
manufacture and distribute backpacks and specialized outdoor apparel under the
Dana Design(R), Wilderness Experience(R) and Wild X(R) brand names
domestically. The products are distributed through independent sales
representatives to outdoor specialty dealers in the U.S.
ACTIVE AND SPORTING APPAREL. The Company's Active and Sporting Apparel
product class consists of Hilton active wear and K2 ski apparel. Sales of
Active and Sporting Apparel accounted for $40.1 million, $34.9 million and
$35.3 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Hilton Active Apparel division manufactures and distributes jackets,
shirts, fleece tops and other activewear, primarily for use in the screen print
and advertising specialty markets which supplies imprinted items (including
garments) primarily to corporate buyers. These garments are sold under the
Hilton(R) and USA(R) trademarks to advertising specialty customers,
embroiderers and screen printers throughout the United States. Hilton sales are
generated largely from Hilton Active Apparel's catalogs, through a direct sales
force and independent sales representatives. K2 ski apparel is manufactured to
K2's specifications by various suppliers, located in Europe and Asia. These
garments are sold under the K2 trademark mainly to European dealers and
distributors.
HOME RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS. The Company's Home Recreational Products consist
of Anthony pools, pool equipment and Poolsaver swimming pool covers. Sales of
Home Recreational Products accounted for $67.4 million, $57.9 million and $60.5
million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
2
Anthony Pools constructs and remodels residential gunite swimming pools sold
directly to consumers, or indirectly through home builders, in five regions in
or near major cities in California, Texas, and the eastern seaboard. The
division also distributes swimming pool equipment, such as filters and
heaters, which are installed on swimming pools built by Anthony or sold to
gunite or concrete pool builders under an authorized dealership program in
markets not served by Anthony. Replacement parts and equipment are sold by
authorized service centers. The Company believes that Anthony Pools is one of
the two largest builders of residential gunite swimming pools in the United
States. Poolsaver manufactures and installs motorized and hand-operated
swimming pool covers sold directly to consumers and pool builders. Sales are
made through branches in or near major cities in California and the eastern
seaboard and through distributors and dealers in markets in which Poolsaver
does not have offices. Poolsaver additionally provides service on existing
pool covers through its service organization.
Several of the trademarks used by the Company's recreational products
segment are believed to be recognizable by the consumer and therefore
important to facilitating the sales of these products. Such trademarks include
Ugly Stik(R) fishing rods, K2(R) skis, snowboards and in-line skates, Olin(R)
skis, Stearns(R) flotation devices, Anthony Pools(R), Poolsaver(R) pool
covers, Girvin Flexstems(R) and Proflex(R) mountain bikes, Hilton(R) active
apparel, and Dana Design(R) and Wilderness Experience(R) backpacks and
apparel.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
The Company's Industrial Products segment consists principally of extruded
thermoplastic monofilaments, fiberglass antennas and light poles and laminated
and coated paperboard products. Extruded thermoplastic monofilaments are used
by the paperweaving industry and for weed trimmer line applications.
Paperboard products are used in residential and commercial construction and
industrial packaging. Sales of Industrial Products accounted for $170.3
million, $146.1 million and $135.4 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Through the Monofilament division of Shakespeare, the Company manufactures
single strand extruded nylon or polymer monofilament in a variety of
diameters, tensile strengths and softnesses for use in various applications.
Specialized monofilament line is marketed to weavers who manufacture woven
"mats" for use by the paper industry in the United States, Europe and South
America. The European market is supplied primarily from its manufacturing
facility in the U.K. The Monofilament division also supplies weed trimmer line
to retailers and original equipment manufacturers in the lawn care market.
Fishing line is manufactured by Monofilament and is marketed by Fishing Tackle
throughout the United States to retailers and mass merchandisers.
The Electronics & Fiberglass division of Shakespeare manufactures fiberglass
products primarily for the United States market, consisting mainly of utility
and decorative light poles and radio antennas for citizen band, marine and
military applications. The Company also distributes marine radios and other
marine electronics under the Shakespeare brand which are manufactured in Asia
to the Company's specifications.
The Simplex Products division manufactures a wide range of laminated, coated
and reinforced paperboard products, which include insulative sheathing
marketed under the trademark Thermo-ply(R), container components for fibre
drums and flexible packaging paperboard products. These products are sold to
the residential and manufactured housing, container and industrial packaging
industries. Simplex also sells building products, such as Barricade(R)
building wrap principally to residential construction and Finestone(R)
coatings principally to the commercial construction industries. Simplex also
operates a paper recycling mill which produces chip paperboard primarily used
in the manufacture of Thermo-ply and secondarily sold to others in
nonconstruction related markets. Most Simplex products must meet rigid
performance specifications imposed by regulatory agencies and customers.
Insulative sheathing additionally requires national and local building code
approvals.
3
Sales of industrial products are generally made either directly or through
distributors or sales representatives. Except for sales of fibre drum
container components and paperweaving monofilaments, sales of industrial
products are made to a large number of customers.
COMPETITION
Anthony believes that it has the leading market share in the United States
market for alpine skis, personal flotation devices, paperweaving monofilament,
weed trimmer line, fiberglass light poles, laminated and coated paperboard
insulative sheathing, marine antennas and full-suspension mountain bikes,
motorized pool covers and has one of the two largest market shares for
domestic residential gunite swimming pools. The Company also believes that it
has one of the leading market shares in fishing tackle in the United Kingdom
and Holland and has one of the top five market shares for skis in Germany and
Japan. Fewer than ten ski manufacturers and personal flotation device
manufacturers account for the majority of shipments worldwide. Six fishing
tackle manufacturers account for the majority of the domestic shipments of
fishing tackle. A large number of companies compete within the ad specialty
market, while five mountain bike manufacturers account for the majority of
sales to the independent bike dealers domestically.
The sporting goods markets are generally highly competitive, with
competition mainly centering on product performance, price and rapid delivery.
The ski market is also dependent on weather conditions in various geographic
regions in the United States, Europe and Japan and on the amount of
discretionary income available in the economy.
The Company's swimming pool business competes with many privately owned and
small franchised pool building operations. The swimming pool market is
dependent to a large extent on the amount of discretionary income available in
the economy, the level of consumer confidence, the availability of consumer
credit at reasonable interest rates and on the existence of favorable weather
during the pool building season. The pool cover business competes with five
manufacturers of pool covers and substitute products in competing industries.
The Company's industrial products are, in most instances, subject to price
competition, ranging from moderate in the marine antenna and monofilament
lines to intense for the commodity-type products. Sales growth and stability
are dependent to varying degrees upon favorable economic conditions in the
domestic housing, container and paper industries. Insulative sheathing
products and fiberglass light poles compete with substitute products used for
similar purposes.
RAW MATERIALS AND FOREIGN SOURCING
The recreational products segment has not experienced any substantial
difficulty in obtaining raw materials, parts or finished goods inventory.
Certain components and finished goods, however, are manufactured or assembled
abroad and therefore could be subject to interruption as a result of domestic
unrest, local economic changes or other conditions in those countries and as a
result of increased tariffs and trade difficulties between those countries and
other countries in which Company products are manufactured or sold. A major
portion of the Company's fishing rods, including its Ugly Stik line, and reels
are currently manufactured in the People's Republic of China which trades with
the United States under a Most Favored Nation ("MFN") trade status. While the
Company believes that alternative sources for its fishing tackle produced in
China could be found, maintaining its existing costs of such fishing tackle
will depend on these products continuing to be treated under MFN tariff rates,
which the U.S. from time to time has threatened to rescind. Early in 1995, the
United States threatened trade sanctions against certain products made in
China, including fishing rods. Shortly before such sanctions were to have
become effective, however, the U.S. agreed not to impose them based on certain
representations made by China relating to its future enforcement of
intellectual property laws.
4
The industrial product segment has not experienced any substantial difficulty
in obtaining raw materials, although recycled corrugated scrap paper, a raw
material used in the production of insulative sheathing, has become materially
more expensive, a trend which the Company expects could continue. At some level
this increasing cost could have a material impact on the profitability of this
line.
SEASONALITY
The recreational products segment generally sells to highly seasonal markets.
Alpine ski and snowboard sales and sales of active apparel to the advertising
specialty markets are strongest in the third and fourth quarters. Sales of
personal flotation devices occur primarily in the first and second quarters,
whereas those of fishing tackle occur primarily in the first, second and fourth
quarters. Mountain bike sales occur primarily in the fourth and first quarters
and swimming pool sales occur primarily in the second and third quarters. In
fishing tackle, skiing, personal flotation devices and active apparel, the
rapid delivery requirements of customers and the seasonality of the business
require an investment in significant amounts of inventory in anticipation of
and through the selling seasons. Progress payments collected from customers
during the construction of swimming pools help avoid utilizing substantial
amounts of the Company's cash during the pool construction period. Extended
payment terms offered in the fishing tackle, ski, snowboard and personal
flotation device industries create seasonally large accounts receivable
balances.
The Company has observed an evolving change in the buying patterns of mass
merchant and other sporting goods customers, who are becoming more cautious
about pre-season inventories, preferring to accept delivery closer to their
retail selling seasons.
The Company's industrial products segment is mildly seasonal. Sales to the
domestic housing, lawn care and marine antenna markets occur more heavily in
the first two quarters of the year.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
No one customer of the Company accounts for ten percent or more of its
consolidated annual net sales. While the Company believes that its customer
relationships are excellent, it has two large customers, and the loss of either
could have a material impact on the Company's sporting goods business.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company maintains at several of its manufacturing centers decentralized
research and development departments which are engaged in development of new
products and processes, new uses of raw materials and improvement of products
presently being manufactured. Expenditures for Company-sponsored research and
development activities at all locations amounted to approximately $6.3 million
in 1994, $4.3 million in 1993 and $3.5 million in 1992.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
The Company is among several potentially responsible parties named in certain
EPA matters involving discharge of hazardous materials at an old waste disposal
site. This action seeks primarily cleanup costs. The potential costs related to
such matters are not expected to have a material impact on the capital
expenditures, equity, earnings or the competitive position of the Company.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1994 and 1993 the Company and its subsidiaries had
approximately 3,700 employees.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The corporate headquarters of the Company is located in 15,000 square feet of
leased office space in Los Angeles, California. The table below provides
information with respect to the principal production and distribution
facilities utilized by the Company as of December 31, 1994.

The terms of the leases range from one to eight years, and many are renewable
for additional periods. The termination of any of the short-term leases would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
The Company believes that, in general, its plants and equipment are
adequately maintained, in good operating condition and adequate for the
Company's present needs. The Company regularly upgrades and modernizes its
facilities and equipment and expands its facilities to meet customer
requirements.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Certain of the Company's products are used in relatively high risk
recreational settings and from time to time the Company is named as a defendant
in lawsuits asserting product liability claims relating to its sporting goods
and recreational products and, in particular, its swimming pools. To date none
of these lawsuits has had a material effect on the Company, and the Company
does not believe that any lawsuit now pending could reasonably be expected to
have such an effect. While the Company maintains product libility insurance
coverage, no assurances can be given that such insurance will continue to be
available at acceptable prices or that a significant product liability judgment
would be covered by such insurance or that such judgment would not exceed the
policy limits.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: COMPARISON OF 1994 TO 1993
Net income for 1994 rose 17% to $13.0 million, or $1.09 per share, from $11.1
million, or $.94 per share, in the prior year. Sales advanced 16% to $502.4
million from $431.6 million in 1993.
In the recreational products group, sales rose $46.6 million, or 16%, to
$332.1 million. Fifty percent of the improvement was attributable to the
successful introduction of K2's brand of Exotech in-line skates, increased
demand worldwide for the K2 snowboard line and inclusion for the full year of
the rapidly growing Proflex mountain bike business acquired in October 1993.
Growth was also achieved from product extensions and higher overall activity in
the swimming pool industry. Of particular significance were fifty-four styles
of Hilton jackets, activewear and accessories for the advertising specialty
market and new models of Stearns rainwear and wetsuits, all introduced within
the prior 24 months, along with several new models of Shakespeare fishing
reels, kit and combo series, which were introduced within the last 12 months in
the U.S. market. Unit sales of Anthony swimming pools in 1994 increased for the
first time since 1988, reflecting higher overall activity within the industry.
Sales also benefited from increases in swimming pool remodels. Partially
offsetting these gains were lower sales of skis to the economically depressed
European and Japanese markets.
In the industrial products group, sales increased $24.2 million, or 17% to
$170.3 million. Over half of the improvement was attributable to the Simplex
products business, which benefited from increased sales of Finestone commercial
coatings, expanded models of vapor barriers and from improved housing starts
and
9
shipments into the Japanese market which drove sales of insulative sheathing to
a record level. Improved sales, particularly of fiberglass light poles and
composite products and paperweaving monofilaments in the United Kingdom,
generated the majority of the sales gains in the other two businesses of the
group.
Costs of goods sold, as a percent of sales, declined in 1994 as compared with
the prior year. The resulting improvement in gross profit margin was driven by
product mix and gains in efficiency from further applications of the Anthony
Improvement Process, particularly at Stearns, Hilton, Shakespeare Monofilament
and Simplex. Overall gross profit in dollars also improved despite the
significant cost of completing the conversion to cap skis and subsequent lower
margins realized in the sale of these higher-cost skis. Margin and gross profit
were also unfavorably impacted by the dramatic increase in the cost of recycled
corrugated scrap paper, a raw material used in the manufacture of insulative
sheathing by Simplex.
Selling expense increased $8.8 million although as a percent of sales it was
comparable to the year-ago period. The increase in selling expense resulted
primarily from volume-related increases in the pool business, by the inclusion
of the mountain bike business for a full year and increased spending in support
of new products in the in-line skate, mountain bike, snowboard and apparel
businesses.
General and administrative expenses increased $7.7 million from the prior
year. The increase reflects expenditures for new product development
(particularly at K2), a continuation of further investments in systems and
personnel to support the growth of the Company, and the inclusion of the
mountain bike business for a full year.
Interest expense increased $1.7 million in 1994. Domestic interest rates
accounted for $532,000 of the increase, and a $17.4 million higher level of
average borrowings, incurred to acquire and finance the mountain bike business
and support the working capital needs of several product lines which exhibited
growth in sales, accounted for the remainder.
Combined operating profit (before interest, corporate expenses and taxes)
increased $6.5 million over 1993. In the recreation products group, operating
profit rose $3.8 million, or 31%, to $16.0 million. The group benefited from
Shakespeare Fishing Tackle's introduction of several new fishing rods, reels
and kit and combo series in the U.S. which, combined with lower manufacturing
costs abroad, helped to produce record worldwide earnings for the fishing
tackle business for the second consecutive year. Sales-related earnings gains
also contributed to the group's improvement, particularly from the K2
snowboards and successful introduction of the previously described products of
Stearns and Hilton. Partially offsetting these profit gains were a loss
incurred by the swimming pool business and the impact of costs incurred in
converting the ski plant to the manufacture of cap skis, the resulting
increased cost to manufacture the cap skis and the impact of declining sales in
the European and Japanese ski markets.
In the industrial products group, operating profit rose $2.7 million, or 19%,
to $16.7 million. The improvement was mainly due to sales-related earnings and
efficiency gains at Shakespeare Monofilament and Simplex.
Income tax expense in 1994 included $600,000 relating to a reclassification
of state tax previously recorded as selling and general and administrative
expense (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: COMPARISON OF 1993 TO 1992
Net income for 1993 rose 31%, to $11.1 million, or $.94 per share, from $8.5
million, or $.73 per share, in the prior year. Sales in 1993 increased 7%, to a
record $431.6 million, from the $402.0 million reported in 1992.
10
Sales of the recreational products group increased $18.9 million, to $285.5
million for the 1993 year. Favorable weather conditions in the United States
and an improvement in the economy in certain regions of the country provided a
boost to sales of K2 skis. The popularity of K2 snowboards pushed sales of this
product up to nearly double prior years' levels. Sales of Shakespeare fishing
tackle in the United States benefited from an increased distribution of Ugly
Stik fishing rods, a growing acceptance of the new series of fishing reels
introduced and an increase in shipments of fishing line. Several new products
introduced by Stearns and Hilton in recent years have gained acceptance by
their customers. These include Stearns wetsuits and rainwear and new styles of
Hilton jackets and activewear for the ad specialty markets. A focused marketing
effort in the pool remodeling business produced attractive gains in this
segment of the swimming pool business. The Group also benefited from sales
reported by an October 1993 acquisition, Girvin, which distributes and designs
full suspension mountain bikes under the ProFlex brand name. Offsetting these
gains was the lingering impact of the recession in the Northeast and
California, which resulted in lower new pool and pool cover sales, and the
European recession and an oversupplied Japanese market, which unfavorably
impacted sales of fishing tackle and alpine skis in those markets.
Sales of the industrial products group increased to $146.1 million, from
$135.4 million in the prior year. Increased housing starts and a wider
distribution of building products sales in the United States and Japan produced
sales gains in Thermo-ply, Finestone and other building products. Sales of
fiberglass light poles and ornamental poles increased over the prior year as a
result of new product introductions, broader distribution in the marketplace
and improved product quality. Sales of monofilaments also contributed to the
Group's sales increase.
Gross profits as a percent of sales declined in 1993, from 26.4% to 25.6%,
largely because of the impact of significant costs incurred in the conversion
of virtually the entire K2 plant in Washington to cap ski production. These
costs are expected to continue into early 1994, until manufacturing
efficiencies improve and the converted plant is brought up to capacity
production levels. The gross profit percentage decline also reflects the
development cost of the K2 in-line skate which, along with the cap ski, is
scheduled for initial shipments in early 1994. Other factors affecting the
gross profit percentage were largely offsetting: significant cost reductions
attained through manufacturing process improvements at Simplex, Monofilament
and Electronics and Fiberglass, from which continued benefits are expected to
be derived, were offset by higher costs at our distribution businesses in
Europe, which arose from the devaluation of European currencies in 1993.
Selling expense as a percent of sales also declined from the prior year. This
resulted largely from the recession-related contraction of sales for fishing
tackle and skis in the European market. Partially offsetting this was spending
increases at the Hilton activewear business to increase its penetration in new
markets and better serve its customers.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million from 1992. The
increase reflects performance-based compensation and the Company's investments
in personnel, training and systems for improving the quality of products and
services.
Interest expense declined by a net amount of $1.0 million in 1993. Lower
worldwide interest rates produced a benefit of $1.7 million, which was
partially offset by $700,000 of higher interest incurred domestically on a $12
million increase in average bank debt arising from higher sales of recreational
products.
Combined operating profit (before interest, corporate expenses and taxes)
increased $3.6 million from the prior year. The recreational products group,
which reported operating profit of $12.2 million, accounted for a $600,000
increase. Higher domestic sales of fishing tackle and continuing foreign
manufacturing cost economies produced record worldwide fishing tackle earnings.
Gains were also achieved at Anthony Pools, which significantly narrowed its
losses due to a robust aftermarket in remodeling and its ongoing quality and
process improvement program, and at Hilton Active Apparel, which benefited from
higher overall sales.
11
Largely offsetting these gains were lower ski earnings resulting from costs
incurred in the conversion of the U. S. plant to cap ski production and the
development cost of the in-line skate program.
The industrial products group reported an improvement of $3.0 million in
operating profit to $14.0 million for the current year. Earnings of the
building products and light pole businesses improved due to increased volume
and cost reductions from improvements made in the manufacturing processes.
Paperweaving and cutting line earnings improved largely as a result of
increased volume.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Company's operating activities used $15.7 million of cash during the
current year as compared with cash provided of $10.3 million in the prior year.
The decrease in cash was due primarily to financing higher levels of accounts
receivable and inventories arising from the growth in sales of in-line skates,
snowboards, rainwear, wetsuits, fishing tackle and full suspension mountain
bikes. In the industrial products group, cash was also used to purchase
additional inventories in anticipation of further raw material cost increases.
Net cash used for investment activities in 1994 decreased to $8.7 million
from $12.5 million in 1993. No material commitments for capital expenditures
existed at yearend.
The Company's principal long-term borrowing facility is a $70 million
unsecured bank revolving credit line due June 28, 1997. At December 31, 1994,
$68.0 million was outstanding under this line. Additionally, the Company had
several foreign and domestic short-term lines of credit totaling $40.7 million,
of which $18.3 million was outstanding at yearend. Under the long-term
facility, the Company is subject to a loan agreement which, among other things,
restricts amounts available for payment of cash dividends by the Company. As of
December 31, 1994, retained earnings of $7.9 million were free of such
restrictions. The Company also has $40 million of 8.39% unsecured senior notes
due in 2004, payable in nine equal annual principal payments beginning in 1996.
The notes are subject to agreements which are generally less restrictive than
the $70 million bank revolving credit line. For information regarding the
Company's interest rate swap agreements, see Note 5 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company anticipates its cash needs in 1995 will be provided from
operations, existing credit lines, new borrowings or other public or private
market sources.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, has been
relatively low in the last few years, and therefore pricing decisions by the
Company have largely been influenced by competitive market conditions. The
Company uses the LIFO method of inventory pricing for 46% of its inventories,
which results in the most recent costs of LIFO-priced inventory being reflected
in the income statement. Current costs of the Company's inventories priced on a
FIFO basis are also reflected in the income statement because of the relatively
high turnover of these inventories.
Depreciation expense is based on the historical cost to the Company of its
fixed assets and therefore is considerably less than it would be if it were
based on current replacement cost. While buildings, machinery and equipment
acquired in prior years will ultimately have to be replaced at significantly
higher prices, it is expected that this will be a gradual process over many
years.

ANTHONY INDUSTRIES, INC.
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
its wholly owned subsidiaries, Shakespeare Company, K2 Corporation, Stearns
Manufacturing Company and Girvin Inc.
Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments (including any debt securities) that are part of the
Company's cash management portfolio are classified as cash equivalents and are
carried at amortized costs. These investments are highly liquid, are of limited
credit risk and have original maturities of three months or less. The carrying
amount of cash equivalents approximates market.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are the result of the Company's worldwide sales
activities. Although the Company's credit risk is spread across a large number
of customers within a wide geographic area, periodic concentrations within a
specific industry occur due to the seasonality of its businesses. As of
December 31, 1994, the Company's receivables from the ski and snowboard
industry amounted to 46% of total receivables. The Company performs periodic
credit evaluations to manage its credit risk. Allowances include reserves for
volume-related discounts of $3,018,000 and $2,712,000 as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the LIFO method with respect to approximately 46% and 49% of total inventories
at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, Cost was determined on the FIFO
method for all other inventories.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As permitted by
Statement No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate the financial
statements of any prior years. The cumulative effect of the change on the
Company's financial statements was not material. Income taxes have been
provided using the liability method. For years prior to 1993, the Company
accounted for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which provided for income taxes
using the income statement approach.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at costs. Depreciation is provided
on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Intangibles
Goodwill arising from acquisitions is amortized on a straight-line basis over
a period up to 40 years. Other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line
basis over 3 to 15 years. Accumulated amortization of intangibles as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $6,004,000 and $5,143,000, respectively.
The Company periodically reviews intangibles for impairment of value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for most foreign operations is the local currency.
Foreign currency financial statements are converted into United States dollars
by translating balance sheet accounts at the current exchange rate at yearend
and income statement items at the average exchange rate for the year, with the
resulting translation adjustment made to a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Transaction gains or losses, other than those related to items deemed
to be of a long-term nature, are included in net income in the period in which
they occur.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for
the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 amounted to $12,943,000,
$11,050,000 and $11,263,000, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research
and development costs for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
amounted to $6,298,000, $4,290,000 and $3,538,000, respectively.
Per Share Data
Earnings and cash dividends per share data have been retroactively adjusted
for stock dividends. Earnings per share were determined by dividing net income
by the average outstanding shares, including common stock equivalents and ESOP
shares, using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents include stock
options. Primary earnings per share approximate earnings per share on a fully
diluted basis.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES
On October 14, 1993, the Company purchased certain assets of Ocean State
International, Inc. ("Girvin"). Girvin is a distributor and manufacturer of
Proflex full-suspension mountain bikes and Girvin accessories for sale in the
U.S. and Europe. On February 4, 1995, the Company purchased Dana Design Ltd., a
small manufacturer and distributor of backpacks primarily in the U.S.

NOTE 4--INCOME TAXES--(CONTINUED)
The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes
$600,000 relating to a reclassification of the provision for certain state
taxes which have historically been included in selling and general and
administrative expense. The Company has elected not to restate the financial
statements of any prior years, as such amounts were not material.
No provision for United States income taxes has been made on undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries, since a substantial portion of these earnings
has been permanently reinvested. At December 31, 1994, the foreign subsidiaries
had unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million, of which
approximately $1.8 million expires in 2001 and the remainder carries forward
indefinitely. Since the use of these operating loss carryforwards is limited to
future taxable earnings of the related foreign subsidiaries, a valuation
allowance has been recognized to offset the deferred tax asset arising from
such carryforwards.
NOTE 5--BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At December 31, 1994, the Company had several foreign and domestic short-term
lines of credit totaling up to $40.7 million. The foreign subsidiaries' lines
of credit generally have no termination date but are reviewed annually for
renewal and are denominated in the subsidiaries' local currencies. At December
31, 1994, amounts outstanding under such short-term lines of credit (bank
loans) were $18.3 million at interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 11.2%. The
weighted average interest rates on short-term lines of credit as of December
31, 1994 and 1993 were 6.5% and 7.1%, respectively.
The principal components of long-term debt at December 31 are:

respectively.

ANTHONY INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
NOTE 5--BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The $70 million revolving credit line is subject to an agreement which, among
other things, restricts amounts available for payment of cash dividends by the
Company. As of December 31, 1994, retained earnings of $7.9 million were free
of such restrictions. Interest rates on the revolving line at December 31, 1994
ranged from 6.375% to 7.125%.
The Company had $14.5 million of letters of credit outstanding as of December
31, 1994.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its
interest rate exposure on the $40 million 8.39% notes payable. During 1993, the
Company converted the fixed rate to a variable rate by entering into an
interest rate swap with a maturity in 1996. The Company subsequently entered
into an offsetting swap effectively returning the debt to a fixed rate which
also matures in 1996. The remaining gain of $66,000 is being recognized over
the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreements. In 1994, the Company
also entered into an interest rate swap agreement effectively converting the
interest rate exposure on the $4.7 million bank loan described above to a fixed
rate of 6.97%. The interest rate swap agreement matures at the time the related
loan matures. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the banks, who are parties to these agreements. However, in
view of the substantial size and financial strength of these banks, the Company
believes that non-performance is remote.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain
anticipated and firm sales and purchases commitments which are denominated in
foreign currencies. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging
activities is to reduce the Company's risk to fluctuating exchange rates. At
December 31, 1994, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities
of generally less than one year in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million, and
with unrealized losses of $205,000. The unrealized losses will be recognized in
earnings when realized and when the underlying transaction occurs. At December
31, 1994, the Company had no deferred realized gains or losses from forward
exchange contracts.
The carrying amounts for the short-term lines of credit and the long-term
bank revolving credit line approximate their fair value since floating interest
rates are charged which approximate market rates. The fair value of the $40
million 8.39% notes payable, based on quoted market prices, is $37.7 million as
compared to a carrying amount of $40.0 million, and the fair value of the $4.7
million note payable is $4.2 million as compared to a carrying amount of $4.7
million.
NOTE 6--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases as of December
31, 1994, are as follows:

Leases are primarily for rental of facilities, and about one-half of these
contain renewal rights to extend the terms from one to ten years.
Net rental expense, including those rents payable under noncancelable leases
and month-to-month tenancies, amounted to $3,837,000, $3,609,000 and $3,770,000
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal
course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, and to the extent not previously provided, management
does not believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial statements.
The Company is among several potentially responsible parties named in a
cleanup of a chemical waste disposal site in South Carolina under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The
ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, however, to
the extent to which not previously provided, management does not believe this
matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements.
NOTE 7--PENSION PLANS AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors several trusteed noncontributory defined benefit pension
plans covering most of its employees. Benefits are generally based on years of
service and the employee's highest compensation for five consecutive years
during the years of credited service. Contributions are intended to provide for
benefits attributable to service to date and service expected to be provided in
the future. The Company funds these plans in accordance with the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The Company also sponsors defined contribution pension plans covering certain
domestic employees who are not covered by a defined benefit pension plan and
substantially all Stearns employees. Contributions by the Company are
determined as a percent of the amounts contributed by the respective employees.
The following table sets forth the defined benefit plans' funded status and
amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31:

the Company's financial statements.
In November 1992, the FASB issued Statement No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits," that requires accrual accounting for
postemployment benefits instead of recognizing an expense for those benefits
when paid. The Company has complied with the new rules beginning in 1994. The
adoption of the new standard has not had a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

NOTE 9--STOCK OPTIONS
Under the Company's 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan"), options
may be granted to eligible directors and key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries at not less than 100% of the market value of the shares on the
dates of grant. No further options may be granted under the Company's 1988
Incentive Stock Option Plan ("1988 Plan").
The 1994 Plan permits the granting of options for terms not to exceed ten
years from date of grant. The options are exercisable on such terms as may be
established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the
dates of grant.
The Company is authorized, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
to provide loans to key employees in connection with the exercise of stock
options under both the 1994 Plan and the 1988 Plan. The loans are
collateralized by the underlying shares of stock issued and bear interest at
the applicable rates published by the IRS. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, there
was a total of $2,440,000 and $2,167,000, respectively, of loans and accrued
interest outstanding which are due on various dates through December 1999. The
loan amounts have been deducted from shareholders' equity.
Further information regarding the Plans is shown below. The data has been
adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend in December 1994.

NOTE 10--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock
Shares are issuable in one or more series, and the Board of Directors has
authority to fix the terms and conditions of each series.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which covers
substantially all of its domestic non-union employees with at least one year of
service. As of December 31, 1994, the trust was indebted to the Company in the
aggregate amount of $944,000 in connection with stock purchases made from 1982
through 1984 of which 260,415 shares with an aggregate market value of
$4,167,000 as of December 31, 1994 remained unallocated to participants. These
loans are repayable over the next eight to ten years with interest at prime
plus 1/2 %, not to exceed 18% and the unallocated shares will be released to
participants proportionately as these loans are repaid. Of the total dividends
received by the ESOP on its investment in the Company's common stock, dividends
on unallocated shares in the amount of $157,000 and $147,000 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, were used to service these loans. Additionally, the trust was
indebted to the Company in the amount of $400,000 in connection with
distributions made to terminees. The loan carries no interest and is due June
30, 1995. It is anticipated the loan will be repaid through the sale of
unallocated shares.
Shareholders' equity has been reduced by the amount of the loans and any
payments made by the Company on behalf of the trust. The payments, which at
December 31, 1994 totaled $153,000, are being amortized to expense over the
lives of the loans.
The amount of the Company's annual contribution to the ESOP is at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. For the three years 1994, 1993
and 1992 contributions were limited to amounts in excess of annual dividends,
net of debt service, of the ESOP necessary to fund obligations arising in each
of those years to retired and terminated employees. These amounts were
$1,016,000, $1,260,000 and $1,150,000, respectively. ESOP expense, including
amortization of the foregoing payments, was $1,014,000, $1,012,000 and
$1,321,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Allocated shares as of
December 31, 1994 totaled 2,109,907 shares.
Preferred Stock Rights
Rights are outstanding which entitle the holder of each share of Common Stock
of the Company to buy one one-hundredth of a share of Series A preferred stock
at an exercise price of $51.712 per one one-hundredth of a share, subject to
adjustment. The rights are not separately tradable or exercisable until a party
either acquires, or makes a tender offer that would result in ownership of, at
least 20% of the Company's common shares. If a person becomes the owner of at
least 20% of the Company's outstanding common shares (an "Acquiring Person"),
each holder of a right other than such Acquiring Person and its affiliates is
entitled, upon payment of the then current exercise price per right (the
"Exercise Price"), to receive shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock
equivalents) having a market value of twice the Exercise Price. If the Company
subsequently engages in certain mergers, business combinations or asset sales
with the Acquiring Person, each holder of a right other than the Acquiring
Person and its affiliates is thereafter entitled, upon payment of the Exercise
Price, to receive stock of the Acquiring Person having a market value of twice
the Exercise Price. At any time after any party becomes an Acquiring Person,
the Board of Directors may exchange the rights (except those held by the
Acquiring Person) at an exchange ratio of one common share per right. Prior to
a person becoming an Acquiring Person, the rights may be redeemed at a
redemption price of one cent per right, subject to adjustment. The rights are
subject to amendment by the Board.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Anthony Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anthony
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Anthony
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
