PART I Item 1. Business. Anuhco, Inc. ("Anuhco"), through its subsidiary, Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse Cartage"), operates a diversified motor freight transportation system primarily serving the upper central and midwest portion of the United States. Crouse Cartage, acquired by Anuhco as of September 1, 1991, is a regular-route motor common carrier of general commodities in less-than- truckload ("LTL") quantities with a ten state service area, and also offers irregular-route motor common carrier service for truckload quantities of general and perishable commodities throughout the 48 contiguous United States. Crouse Cartage operates as an autonomous company with the same management and operations as before its acquisition by Anuhco. Anuhco, with two employees, performs those functions required of a public holding company and monitors the operations of Crouse Cartage. Crouse Cartage Company The following table sets forth certain financial and operating data with respect to Crouse Cartage prior to the effects of acquisition related adjustments for the years 1993 through 1991.
1993 1992 1991 Revenue (000's)....................... $ 76,888 $ 71,266 $ 63,449 Operating Income (000's).............. $ 3,206 $ 2,980 $ 2,511 Operating Ratio (Note 1).............. 95.8% 95.8% 96.0% Number of shipments (000's) - Less-than-truckload (Note 2)..... 620 583 515 Truckload........................ 28 28 28 Revenue per hundredweight - Less-than-truckload.............. $ 9.36 $ 9.30 $ 9.52 Truckload........................ $ 2.06 $ 2.04 $ 2.00 Tonnage (000's) - Less-than-truckload.............. 321 292 246 Truckload........................ 433 434 447 Intercity miles operated (000's)...... 32,139 31,110 28,289 At year end, number of - Terminals (Note 3)............... 48 44 42 Tractors and trucks.............. 483 426 363 Trailers......................... 869 841 776 Employees........................ 806 769 740
[FN] Notes: (1) Operating ratio is the percent of operating expenses to operating revenue. (2) Less-than-truckload refers to shipments weighing less than 10,000 pounds. (3) Includes company-owned, company leased, agent and other operating locations. Crouse Cartage, an Iowa Corporation headquartered in Carroll, Iowa, is engaged in the transportation of general commodities which include all types of freight other than personal household goods, commodities of exceptionally high value, explosives and commodities in bulk or requiring special equipment. During 1993, LTL shipments (less than 10,000 pounds) comprised 77% of revenue and truckload shipments (10,000 pounds or greater) comprised 23% of revenue. Crouse Cartage is an LTL regular route common carrier with LTL service in the 10 states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Kansas and Michigan. Crouse Cartage also has a truckload general commodities and special commodities division which operates in all 48 contiguous states. More than 90% of Crouse Cartage's business originates or terminates within 400 miles of its headquarters. Crouse Cartage with over 12,000 customers has a broad customer base, with no one customer comprising 5% of its total revenue. LTL shipments must be handled rapidly and carefully in several coordinated stages. Shipments are first picked up from customers by local drivers operating from the Crouse Cartage network of 48 service locations, each of which services a particular territory. The freight is then transported to a terminal, loaded into intercity trailers, carried by linehaul drivers to the terminal which services the delivery area, transferred to trucks or trailers and then delivered to the consignee by local drivers. Much of Crouse Cartage's LTL freight is handled and/or transferred through one of three centrally located "break bulk" terminals between the origin and destination service areas. Competition for LTL freight is primarily based upon service and freight rates. LTL operations require substantial equipment capabilities and an extensive network of terminal facilities. Accordingly, LTL operations, compared to truckload shipments and operations, command higher rates per weight shipped and have tended historically to be less vulnerable to competition from other forms of transportation such as railroads. Crouse Cartage's concentrated and efficient operations typically allow it to provide overnight service (delivery on the day after pickup) on over 90% of the LTL freight it handles; providing Crouse Cartage with a competitive advantage and the ability to maintain compensatory rates. Seasonality Crouse Cartage's quarterly operating results, as well as those of the motor carrier industry in general, fluctuate with the seasonal changes in tonnage levels and with changes in weather-related operating conditions. Tonnage levels are generally highest from September through November. A smaller peak also generally occurs in April through June. Inclement weather conditions during the winter months adversely affect the number of freight shipments and increase operating costs. Historically, Crouse Cartage has achieved its best operating results in the second and third quarters when adverse weather conditions do not affect its operations and seasonal peaks occur in the freight shipped via public transportation. Insurance and Safety Crouse Cartage is largely self-insured with respect to public liability, property damage, workers' compensation, cargo loss or damage, fire, general liability and other risks. In addition, Crouse Cartage maintains excess liability coverage for risks over and above the self-insured retention limits. All claims pending against Crouse Cartage are fully covered by outside insurance or, in the opinion of management, are adequately reserved under Crouse Cartage's self-insurance program. Because most risks are largely self-insured, Crouse Cartage's insurance costs are primarily a function of the success of its safety programs and less subject to the large increases in insurance premiums experienced in recent years by the motor carrier industry. Crouse Cartage conducts a comprehensive safety program to meet its specific needs. Crouse Cartage's drivers have good driving records and have won the Iowa State Truck Driving Championship 13 times in the past 15 years. Auto liability and workers' compensation claims consistently are below industry average in number of claims and amounts paid for such claims (approximately 2.1% of revenue in 1993). Competition Crouse Cartage's operations are subject to intense competition with other motor common carriers and, to a lesser degree, with contract and private carriage. The enactment of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 substantially deregulated the trucking industry, eased entry requirements into the transportation industry and increased competition among motor carriers. Intense competition for freight has resulted in a proliferation of discount programs among competing carriers. Crouse Cartage competes in such price discounting on an account by account basis, taking into consideration the cost of services relative to the net revenue to be obtained, the competing carriers and the need for freight in specific traffic lanes. Crouse Cartage's main competition over its shorter routes is with Con-Way Central Express, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Central Transport, Sterling Heights, Michigan; H&W Motor Express, Dubuque, Iowa; Hyman Freightways, St. Paul, Minnesota; and Midland Transportation, Marshalltown, Iowa. For freight moving over greater distances, Crouse Cartage must compete with national and large inter-regional carriers. Crouse Cartage's reliable overnight service on key lanes, very low level of freight loss and damage claims and general shipper satisfaction have allowed it to maintain steady growth with a compensatory level of rates. Regulation The interstate operations of Crouse Cartage are subject to regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") and the Department of Transportation ("DOT"). Crouse Cartage is also subject to state public utilities commissions and similar state regulatory agencies with respect to its intrastate operations. The ICC regulates entry into motor carrier operations, rates and charges, tariffs, accounting systems and certain mergers and consolidations. The DOT generally regulates driver qualifications and safety and equipment standards. Crouse Cartage is also subject to safety regulations of the states in which it operates, as well as regulations governing the weight and dimensions of equipment. Passage of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 represented, among other things, an effort to increase competition among motor carriers and substantially reduce industry regulation. Entry into the motor carrier market has been facilitated by making ICC operating authority more readily available. Carriers have been given the opportunity to greatly expand the scope of their operations. (See "Competition".) In addition, the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 limited the immunity from the antitrust laws previously applicable to the trucking industry in setting prices for transportation services. After July 1, 1984, collective discussions by motor carriers may only involve general rate increases or tariff restructuring relating to average costs for the industry as a whole. Such discussions may not relate to individual single-line rates or specific markets. In addition, the Motor Carrier Rate-Making Study Commission, established by the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, has, by majority vote, recommended to the Congress that antitrust immunity for all motor carrier collective ratemaking be eliminated. The DOT also has recommended an end to collective ratemaking. Employees Crouse Cartage employs approximately 806 persons, of whom approximately 664 are drivers, mechanics, dockworkers or terminal office clerks. The remainder are engaged in managerial, sales and administrative functions. Labor costs represent the largest single component of Crouse Cartage's operating expenses, totaling 54.4% of consolidated revenue for 1993. In the opinion of its management, Crouse Cartage has a good working relationship with its employees. Approximately 72% of Crouse Cartage employees, including primarily drivers, dockworkers and mechanics, are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America ("Teamsters Union"). Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union are parties to the National Master Freight Agreement ("NMFA") which expires on March 31, 1994. Negotiations by and between Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union for the next contract period are ongoing. Crouse Cartage believes the final impact of such negotiations will not significantly affect the results of operations or financial position of the Company. As an employer signatory to the agreement, Crouse Cartage must contribute to certain pension plans established for the benefit of employees belonging to the Teamsters Union. Under provisions of the NMFA, Crouse Cartage has maintained a profit sharing program for all employees since 1988 ("Profit Sharing"). Profit Sharing was implemented after 76% of the union employees and 84% of its non- union employees voted for approval in 1988. In 1991, Profit Sharing was extended for at least another 3 years after 90% of the union employees and 97% of the non-union employees voted for such extension. Although the outcome is uncertain, Crouse Cartage believes the Profit Sharing will be further extended coincident with the conclusion of the NMFA contract negotiations. Profit Sharing is structured to allow all Crouse Cartage employees to ratably share 50% of Crouse Cartage's income before income taxes (excluding extraordinary items and gains and losses on the sale of assets) in return for a 15% reduction in wages. Profit Sharing distributions, made quarterly, totalled $3.3 million in 1993. American Freight System, Inc. Anuhco was a public holding company with several operating motor carrier subsidiaries from 1983 through 1988, under the name American Carriers, Inc. ("ACI"). Following ACI's 1987 acquisition of a large motor carrier, and the merger of its operations into American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS"), ACI's largest LTL subsidiary, substantial operating losses were incurred in the last half of 1987 and the first half of 1988. As a result of the heavy operating losses and cancellation of ACI's bank credit, following ACI's inability to obtain credit from other sources, AFS and ACI's other LTL subsidiary, USA Western, Inc. ("USAW"), ceased operations and filed petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) and later in 1988 other subsidiaries of ACI also filed under Chapter 11 ("Debtor Companies"). By the end of 1988 ACI was also under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; as a result of a petition filed by multiemployer pension plans who were creditors of AFS and who also asserted claims against ACI under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980. On July 11, 1991, ACI and the Debtor Companies were discharged from bankruptcy under a reorganization plan confirmed by the U. S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Kansas ("Joint Plan"). ACI's name was changed to Anuhco, Inc., its authorized common stock was increased to 13 million shares and it may only issue voting capital stock. Shareholders retained their shares of ACI's common stock and no new securities were issued by ACI. The other Debtor Companies were merged into AFS and AFS assumed all liabilities of the bankruptcy estates and gained control of all assets of ACI and its other subsidiaries; except for $3.8 million in cash and the capital stock of AFS retained by ACI. AFS was discharged from bankruptcy with an obligation to administer the provisions of the Joint Plan under the control of a reconstituted AFS Board of Directors, which currently consists of three individuals who formerly served on creditors' committees of ACI and AFS, and two additional persons selected by Anuhco. AFS is to sell its remaining non-cash assets and distribute its assets as provided in the Joint Plan. AFS is to resolve creditor claims against the estates of ACI and the Debtor Companies and make distributions to holders of allowed claims as cash is available. The Joint Plan also provides for certain distributions from AFS to Anuhco as unsecured creditor distributions occur in excess of 50% of allowed claims, as shown in the following table:
Cumulative Unsecured Creditors' Distribution Anuhco Participation 50.01 - 70% $100,000 per percentage point 70.01 - 80% $ 25,000 per percentage point 80.01 - 130% $250,000 per percentage point
Anuhco receives the full benefit of any remaining assets through its ownership of the capital stock of AFS if unsecured creditors receive distributions equivalent to 130% of their allowed claims. Anuhco and unsecured creditors have received distributions from AFS during 1993 and 1992 as follows:
Cumulative Unsecured Cumulative Anuhco Date Creditor Distribution % Participation February 18, 1992 60% $1.00 Million September 11, 1992 80% 2.25 Million April 15, 1993 90% 4.75 Million October 13, 1993 95% 6.00 Million
AFS currently projects that cumulative unsecured creditor distributions will equal or exceed 110% of allowed claims and that additional distributions to Anuhco will approximate $4 million, excluding any effects of the judgment held against Westinghouse Credit Corporation. AFS had 14 remaining employees and $37 million of assets as of December 31, 1993. As the Joint Plan provides that liabilities of AFS will be settled solely with the assets of AFS, the liabilities have been set equal to assets in the accompanying financial statements in which AFS is treated as a discontinued operation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. (See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements - Discontinued Operations for further discussion.) Item 2. Properties. Anuhco owns property through Crouse Cartage which operates a modern intercity fleet and maintains a network of terminals to support the intercity movement of freight. Crouse Cartage owns most of its fleet but leases some equipment from owner-operators to supplement the owned equipment and to provide flexibility in meeting seasonal and cyclical business fluctuations. As of December 31, 1993 Crouse Cartage owned 446 tractors and 37 trucks. During 1993 Crouse Cartage leased 173 tractors and 30 flatbed trailers from owner-operators. On December 31, 1993, it also owned 248 temperature controlled trailers, 594 volume vans (including 176 53-foot high-cube van trailers), and 27 flatbed trailers. The table below sets forth the number of operating locations at year end for the last three years:
1993 1992 1991 Owned terminals....... 10 9 9 Leased terminals...... 19 19 20 Agency terminals...... 19 16 13 Total............ 48 44 42
Effective January 1, 1994, Crouse Cartage exercised its purchase options under certain operating leases to purchase eleven (11) of the "Leased Terminals", above (See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion). The depreciated net book value of Crouse Cartage's property and equipment at December 31 was:
1993 1992 1991 (In Thousands) Description Land........................... $ 1,500 $ 1,420 $ 580 Structures and improvements.... 3,381 3,067 1,903 Revenue equipment.............. 4,850 4,006 4,010 Other operating property....... 809 1,077 883 Construction in progress....... - 500 184 Total..................... $10,540 $10,070 $ 7,560
Item 3. Legal Proceedings. On February 5, 1991, ACI and the Debtor Subsidiaries filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization ("Joint Plan") and a related Disclosure Statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Kansas, Topeka Division ("Bankruptcy Court"). After approval by each class of creditors entitled to vote and the equity security holders, on June 10, 1991, following the confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Joint Plan with an Effective Date of July 11, 1991. The Joint Plan provided for the reorganization of ACI with $3.8 million in cash, no debt and the expressed intent of acquiring one or more operating companies; and the administration of the Joint Plan by AFS. (See Item 1, American Freight System, Inc. for further discussion.) On January 12, 1994 a complaint was filed in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, against Anuhco, AFS and certain employees of those companies by a former employee of AFS. Such complaint alleges breach of contract, promissory estoppel, tortious interference, and misrepresentation and fraud, as it relates to an alleged incentive compensation arrangement between the former employee and AFS. The suit claims, from Anuhco and others, actual damages in excess of $2 million and punitive damages of $5 million. Management believes such claims will not likely have a material adverse effect on Anuhco's financial position or business. Anuhco's subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation, other than litigation being conducted pursuant to the Joint Plan, primarily involving claims for personal injury and property damage incurred in the transportation of freight and the collection of receivables. Anuhco and its subsidiaries maintain insurance programs and accrue for expected losses in amounts designed to cover liability resulting from personal injury and property damage claims. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's financial position. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the fourth quarter of 1993. Included herein, pursuant to General Instruction G, is the information regarding executive officers required by Item 401 (b) and (e) of Regulation S-K, as of March 31, 1994. Executive Officers

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of revenue and expense items to operating revenue for the registrant for the years ended December 31:
Percent of Operating Revenue 1993 1992 1991 Operating Revenue........................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Operating Expenses - Salaries, wages & employee benefits.... 54.4 54.2 53.5 Operating supplies and expenses........ 12.1 12.4 14.0 Operating taxes and licenses........... 2.8 2.7 2.9 Insurance and claims................... 2.1 2.0 2.1 Depreciation........................... 2.6 2.6 2.6 Purchased transportation and rents..... 22.7 22.6 21.9 Total operating expenses............ 96.7 96.5 97.0 Operating Income............................ 3.3 3.5 3.0 Non-Operating Income (Expense), net......... 0.2 (0.3) 0.1 Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes.................... 3.5 3.2 3.1 Income Tax Provision........................ 0.0 0.0 0.0 Income from Continuing Operations........... 3.5% 3.2% 3.1%
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial statements for the registrant include both Anuhco and Crouse Cartage for the full year. The 1991 results include Anuhco from July 11, 1991, the effective date of the Joint Plan and the operations of Crouse Cartage from September 1, 1991, the date it was acquired by Anuhco. The 1991 operations were affected by a recession which continued to have some impact on operations in 1992. Anuhco, through its subsidiary Crouse Cartage, was able to continue its growth in total revenue and number of LTL shipments in 1993. In 1993 total tonnage of shipments increased by 3.8% over 1992; with LTL tonnage increasing 9.7% and truckload tonnage decreasing by 0.3%. The decrease in truckload tonnage resulted in a 0.1% increase in truckload revenue per hundredweight due to the retention of the more profitable traffic. In spite of a January 1993 rate increase, LTL revenue per hundredweight only increased 0.1% due to the continued effects of rate discounting. In 1992 total tonnage of shipments increased by 4.9% over 1991; with LTL tonnage increasing 19.0% and truckload tonnage decreasing by 2.8%. The decrease in truckload tonnage resulted in a 3.7% increase in truckload revenue per hundredweight due to the retention of more profitable traffic. In spite of a 3.0% rate increase, LTL revenue per hundredweight decreased 2.3% largely as a result of industry freight rate discounting; fueled by the continued softness of the economy and excess capacity in the motor carrier industry. Led by a 1.3% increase in salaries and wages in 1992 under the labor contract effective April 1, 1991, and with a 3.9% increase in number of employees, operating expenses increased 12.1% over 1991, while revenue increased by 12.3%; resulting in a 22.3% increase in Anuhco's operating income. Crouse Cartage increased its total revenue and number of LTL shipments in the full year 1991 from the full year 1990, albeit at a lower rate of growth and with a lower level of profitability than in the previous year, while truckload shipments dropped. In 1991 total tonnage of shipments decreased by 8.5% from 1990; with LTL tonnage increasing 10.3% and truckload tonnage decreasing by 16.3%. The reduction in truckload tonnage resulted in a 9.9% increase in truckload revenue per hundredweight due to the retention of the more profitable traffic. In spite of a 5.5% rate increase, LTL revenue per hundredweight decreased 1.3% largely as a result of industry freight rate discounting; fueled by the soft economy, excess capacity in the motor carrier industry and lower fuel prices. Led by a 7.3% increase in salaries and wages in 1991, under the new labor contract effective April 1, 1991 and with a 2% increase in number of employees, operating expenses increased 4.4% over 1990, while revenue only increased by 3.7%; resulting in a 7.4% decrease in Crouse Cartage's operating income, excluding any expenses resulting from its acquisition by Anuhco. As a result of inflationary cost increases and in anticipation of labor and other cost increases in 1994, freight rate increases were made effective January 1, 1994 which could favorably impact revenues, if the economy improves and industry wide discounting does not accelerate. Indications are that expenses will increase generally in line with increases experienced in 1993. FINANCIAL CONDITION Anuhco continued to strengthen its financial position during 1993 and 1992. At the beginning of 1992 assets totaled $18.2 million while shareholders' equity amounted to $6.1 million. By the end of 1993 total assets had increased to $24.5 million and shareholders' equity had increased to $17.1 million. During this period long-term debt was reduced from $6.9 million to $1.9 million, while the Company's cash position increased from $2.8 million to $4.7 million. Major factors contributing to these improvements were successful operations creating $2.7 million and $2.3 million of net income and discontinued operations which generated $3.75 million and $2.25 million of net income for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increased capital is being utilized to further upgrade the company's equipment and for additions and enhancement of terminal facilities. Capital expenditures totaled $2.7 million and $4.3 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively; including $2.0 million to acquire and improve a Chicago area freight terminal and over $4.8 million in equipment upgrades. Anuhco expects available cash and cash generated from 1994 operations to be sufficient to fund its operations, service its debt and to meet other cash needs for 1994. Should additional cash be required, Crouse Cartage has a $2.5 million secured revolving credit agreement with Bankers Trust Company of Des Moines, Iowa, with no balance outstanding on December 31, 1993, which is available to meet short term operational needs and long-term requirements. In addition to principal payments on long-term debt, the $1.9 million of long term debt bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% per annum. At December 31, 1993, Crouse Cartage owns or leases 28 parcels of real property which are utilized in their operations. Because many of these facilities maintain underground or other fuel storage tanks, some ongoing environmental liability exists; however, management is not aware of any material contamination. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 which will become effective in 1994. This statement requires the recording of certain post employment benefit obligations over the service life of such employees. This statement will not have a material impact on financial position or results of operations. AFS is accounted for as a discontinued operation in the financial statements with a net asset value of zero; due to provisions of the Joint Plan which provide that all assets of AFS are dedicated to payments of obligations under the Joint Plan and that AFS' liabilities, including administrative costs, will be paid out of its net assets. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders of Anuhco, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Anuhco, Inc.

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 consolidated 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 Anuhco, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedules IV, V, VI, VIII and X are presented for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Arthur Andersen & Co.

[FN] The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements. ANUHCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1993 and 1992 1. Acquisition and Plan of Reorganization On August 2, 1991, Anuhco, Inc. ("Anuhco") entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse Cartage"), a regional less-than-truckload motor carrier. The acquisition was consummated effective September 1, 1991 with the final purchase price composed of $5.5 million cash, a $4.0 million convertible note and 1,342,524 shares of common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Crouse Cartage. This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and the operating results of Crouse Cartage have been consolidated with Anuhco beginning September 1, 1991. On June 10, 1991, the Joint Plan of Reorganization ("Joint Plan") was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court resulting in the formal discharge of American Carriers, Inc. ("ACI"), American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS"), and other subsidiaries from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings. ACI filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation changing its name to Anuhco, Inc., prohibiting the issuance of non-voting capital stock and increasing the authorized common stock to 13 million shares. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include Anuhco and all of its subsidiary companies ("the Company"), all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Depreciation and Maintenance - Depreciation is computed using the straight- line method and the following useful lives for new equipment:
Revenue Equipment - Linehaul Tractors 3 - 5 years Linehaul Trailers 3 - 5 years Terminal Facilities 19 - 31.5 years Other Equipment 2 - 10 years
Upon sale or retirement of operating property, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in non-operating income. The Company expenses costs related to repairs and overhauls of equipment as incurred. Cost of Tires - The cost of tires, including those purchased with new equipment, is expensed when the tires are placed in service. Recognition of Revenues - Operating revenues, and related direct expenses, are recognized when freight is delivered. Other operating expenses are recognized as incurred. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method as specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based upon the difference between the book and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are provided at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Discontinued Operations - American Freight System, Inc. has been accounted for as a "discontinued operation" with only the "net assets" of this operation reflected on the Anuhco financial statements. Anuhco recognizes income from discontinued operations upon receipt of a distribution in accordance with the Joint Plan (See Note 12). Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 3. Employee Benefits Multiemployer Plans Crouse Cartage contributed $2,780,082, $2,573,270 and $805,164 to the multiemployer pension plans for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Crouse Cartage contributed $3,600,635, $3,128,312 and $1,005,485 to the multiemployer health and welfare plans for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Contribution amounts for 1991 relate only to the post-acquisition period of September 1 through December 31. Non-Union Pension Plan Crouse Cartage has a defined contribution profit sharing (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code) plan ("the Non-union Plan") providing for a mandatory Company contribution of 5% of annual earned compensation of the non-union employees. Additional discretionary contributions can be made by Crouse Cartage depending upon profitability of Crouse Cartage. Any discretionary funds contributed to the Non-union Plan will be invested 100% in Anuhco Common Stock. Crouse Cartage had a defined benefit pension plan covering employees not covered under collective bargaining agreements. Crouse Cartage terminated this plan effective December 31, 1992, at which time all benefit accruals ceased. Benefits under the plan were based on years of service and the employees' compensation during the last three years of employment. All par- ticipants who had met this plan's requirements, who had been entered into this plan and who were actively employed by Crouse Cartage as of the termination date, are 100% vested in their accrued plan benefits. Crouse Cartage has purchased an annuity contract to satisfy the individual accrued plan benefits as of the termination date. Crouse Cartage intends to distribute any excess plan assets to plan participants as additional annuities or through rolling them into the Non-union Plan. The Company believes the plan assets will be sufficient to settle all termination obligations and expenses, including the participants' accrued plan benefits. Final settlement of the terminated plan is expected in 1994. Pension expense, exclusive of the multi-employer pension plans, was $80,000, $0 and $184,845 for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes a pension liability of $152,158 and $375,000 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Profit Sharing In September, 1988, the employees of Crouse Cartage approved the establishment of a profit sharing plan ("the Plan"). The Plan is structured to allow all employees (union and non-union) to ratably share 50% of Crouse Cartage's income before income taxes (excluding extraordinary items and gains or losses on the sale of assets) in return for a 15% reduction in their wages. The Plan calls for profit sharing distributions to be made on a quarterly basis. The Plan was recertified in 1991, and shall continue in effect through March 31, 1994, or until a replacement Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached between the parties, whichever is the later. Although the outcome is uncertain, Crouse Cartage believes the Plan will be further extended coincident with the conclusion of the overall union contract negotiations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes profit sharing accruals of $986,583 and $742,408 for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The accompanying consolidated statement of income includes profit sharing expense of $3,307,862, $3,071,057 and $874,268 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. 401(k) Plan Effective January 1, 1990, Crouse Cartage established a salary deferral program under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"). To date, participant contributions to the 401(k) plan have not been matched with Company contributions. All employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan after they attain age 21 and complete one year of qualifying employment. 4. Insurance Coverage Claims and insurance accruals reflect accrued insurance premiums and the estimated cost of incurred claims for cargo loss and damage, bodily injury and property damage and workers' compensation not covered by insurance. Workers' compensation expense is included in "Salaries, wages and fringe benefits" in the accompanying statement of income. The Company's public liability and property damage, cargo and workers' compensation premiums are subject to retrospective adjustments based on actual incurred losses. The actual adjustments normally are not known for at least one year; however, based upon a review of the preliminary compilation of losses incurred through December 31, 1993, management does not believe any material adjustment will be made to the premiums paid or accrued at that date. In connection with its public liability and property damage, cargo and workers' compensation insurance coverage, the Company has an irrevocable standby letter of credit ("LOC"), which at December 31, 1993, was $850,000. The LOC, required by the Company's insurance provider, is deemed to be automatically extended unless notice of termination is given. The fee for the LOC is 1% of the LOC amount. 5. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt was as follows, as of December 31:
1993 1992 (In Thousands) Convertible Note, due October 31, 1995, with interest varying at prime rate plus 1% (7% at December 31, 1993)..................... $ 1,860 $ 3,580 Note Payable to AFS, due through 1993, with interest varying at prime rate (Note 12).. -- 258 Capitalized leases with interest at approximately 9.6%........................ -- 89 Revolving Credit Agreement (Note 6).......... -- -- 1,860 3,927 Less - Current maturities.................... -- 297 $ 1,860 $ 3,630
The Convertible Note is payable to sellers of Crouse Cartage, including certain employees, Crouse Cartage officers, and a director and officer of Anuhco. If such note remains unpaid for 15 days after maturity, October 15, 1995, the holders of the note, may at their option, elect to convert the unpaid principal and interest thereunder into 11% cumulative $100 par value preferred stock. The number of such shares is to be determined by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of the unpaid principal and interest by 100. Under certain conditions and upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, all but not less than all of the preferred stock may be converted to common stock. There are no required payments of existing long-term debt during 1994 through 1998. However, it is the Company's intent to repay the Convertible Note prior to the option date or otherwise prevent its conversion. At December 31, 1993, substantially all net property, equipment and accounts receivable was subject to liens under various debt instruments. 6. Revolving Credit Agreement In September, 1988, Crouse Cartage entered into a five-year credit agreement with a commercial bank which provided for maximum borrowings equaling the lesser of $2,500,000 or the borrowing base, as defined in such agreement. Based on the value of its revenue equipment, such borrowing base exceeds $2,500,000 at December 31, 1993. This agreement was amended and superseded on September 30, 1991, and Anuhco was added as a guarantor. In May, 1993 the term was extended to July 31, 1995. There was no outstanding balance on this revolving line of credit at December 31, 1993 or 1992. On the last day of each calendar month through the term of the agreement, Crouse Cartage is required to pay to the bank equal payments of principal, each in an amount equal to one forty-eighth (1/48) of the highest unpaid principal balance of the previous 12-month period. The agreement provides for interest on borrowings at the bank's prime rate. The effective rate at December 31, 1993, was 6%. The agreement can be terminated by the bank on six months notice or by Crouse Cartage on 30 days notice after full payment of any debt to the bank. The terms of the agreement require the maintenance of a minimum shareholder's equity and contain restrictions on declaration and payment of dividends, acquisition of Crouse Cartage stock, loans to officers or employees, type of investments and annual capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with all such restrictions at December 31, 1993. 7. Common Stock In accordance with a resolution to amend Anuhco's Certificate of Incorporation, duly prepared and adopted at the Company's 1993 Annual Shareholders' Meeting, the capital stock of Anuhco was changed from stock without par value to $0.01 par value per share effective June 1, 1993. Such change has no impact on total shareholders' equity but does require a reclassification of a portion of capital stock to paid-in capital. This amendment will provide a cost savings on certain franchise taxes. An Incentive Stock Option Plan was adopted in 1983 which provides that options for shares of Anuhco Common Stock may be granted to officers and key employees at fair market value of the stock at the time such options are granted. This plan terminated under its provisions in May, 1993 and no further options may be granted. At December 31, 1993 options for 30,000 shares were outstanding at an average option price of $2.36 per share and options for 10,000 were exercisable. The remaining outstanding options will become exercisable over a period through 1997. An Incentive Stock Plan was adopted in 1992 which provides that options for shares of Anuhco Common Stock shall be granted to directors, and may be granted to officers and key employees at fair market value of the stock at the time such options are granted. At December 31, 1993 options for 73,000 shares were outstanding at an average option price of $4.00 per share and options for 14,500 shares were exercisable. The remaining outstanding options will become exercisable over a period through 2003. 8. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method as required in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The impact of significant temporary differences and carryforwards representing deferred tax assets and liabilities is determined utilizing the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences reverse. Deferred tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following at December 31:
1993 1992 (In Thousands) Liabilities: Property and equipment, princi- pally due to differences in depreciation................... $ 1,155 $ 1,258 Assets: Employee benefits............... ( 362) ( 372) Claims accruals and other....... ( 61) ( 64) Reserve for doubtful accounts... ( 154) ( 135) Net operating loss carryforward. (15,015) (10,725) Deferred tax assets........... (15,592) (11,296) Valuation allowance............. 14,437 10,038 Net deferred tax liability.... $ -0- $ -0-
At December 31, 1992 the Company had $25 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1 million of tax credit carryforwards which will be available for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Company generated net operating loss carryforwards in 1993. The amount of these additional carryforwards is estimated to be in excess of $10 million. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire over a period from 2005 to 2008. The tax credit carryforwards expire over a period from 1998 to 2001. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate.
1993 1992 1991 Federal statutory income tax rate......... 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% State income tax rate, net................ 7.9 7.9 7.5 Net operating losses...................... (42.9) (41.9) (41.5) Effective income tax rate................. 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
No net provision for income tax has been made for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 or 1991 and no asset related to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards has been recognized due to significant tax losses from the discontinued operations during those years and projected future tax losses. 9. Union Contract During 1991, Crouse Cartage negotiated with its unions for a new contract and in June, 1991, the unions approved a three-year National Master Freight Agreement ("the Agreement") with wage rate increases of $0.50 per hour in 1991 and $0.45 per hour in 1992 and 1993. The Agreement included a profit sharing program provided that such program was ratified by at least 75% of the Company's bargaining unit employees (see Note 3). Negotiations by and between Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union for the next contract period are ongoing. Crouse Cartage believes the final impact of such negotiations will not significantly affect the results of operations or financial position of the Company. 10. Long-Term Obligation Receivable In connection with the sale of its terminal in Hodgkins, Illinois, Crouse Cartage received a $1,000,000 Subordinated Tax Incremental General Obligation Bond, Series 1991 ("the Bond"), issued by the Village of Hodgkins, Illinois. The Bond has a face value of $1,000,000, accrues interest at a rate of 14% and is due in December, 2009. Interest at 10% is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, and interest at 4% is due on the December 20th immediately following the date that the principal amount is paid in full. Payments of interest and the repayment of the Bond principal will be funded by future tax revenues from the commercial development of the acquired property and no payments have been made, to date. Based upon the Village of Hodgkins' current cash flow projections and the timing of interest and principal payments, the effective interest rate on the Bond is estimated to be approximately 9%. Accrued interest, during 1993 and 1992 of $90,000, has been recorded as an addition to the carrying value of this bond. 11. Contingencies and Commitments The Company is party to certain other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's financial position. Crouse Cartage leases buildings and office equipment under various leases which expire from 1994 to 2001. The majority of these building leases are with a former owner of Crouse Cartage. Effective January 1, 1994, Crouse Cartage exercised its purchase options under certain operating leases. Such options covered the purchase of twelve (12) facilities (11 terminals and a salvage store operation) from P&R Realty, a sole proprietorship and related party, for approximately $2.6 million. The option prices were based on the market value of each property, as established by an independent real estate appraiser, and were each equal to or less than the appraised values. Crouse Cartage financed these purchases through currently available operating funds, which included borrowing of $0.5 million on its $2.5 million revolving credit agreement. Crouse Cartage has utilized these facilities for its operations for numerous years and currently anticipates their continued use without change. The exercise of these options will, among other things, have the effect of reducing rental expense by approximately $314,000 annually. Rental expense for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $492,262, $576,066 and $597,822, respectively. At December 31, 1993, there are no future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases having initial or remaining lease terms of more than one year. Payments are made to tractor owner-operators under various short-term lease agreements for the use of revenue equipment. These lease payments, which totaled $9,554,580, $9,416,968 and $9,275,336 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, are primarily based on miles traveled or on a percent of revenue generated through the use of the equipment. Future commitments for the purchase of operating property totaled approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 1993, including the aforementioned exercise of options on real property. The total amount of this commitment was paid in January, 1994 and was funded by current operations and a $500,000 draw on the revolving credit agreement. 12. Discontinued Operations Under the provisions of the Joint Plan, American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS") is responsible for the continued resolution of pre-July 12, 1991 creditor claims and conversion of assets owned before that date. As claims are allowed and cash is available, distributions to the creditors will occur. The Joint Plan also provides for distributions to Anuhco as unsecured creditor distributions occur in excess of 50% of allowed claims in accordance with the following table. Such distributions are recognized as "Income from Discontinued Operations" by Anuhco at the time they are received.
Cumulative Unsecured Creditors' Distribution Anuhco Participation 50.01 - 70% $100,000 per percentage point 70.01 - 80% $ 25,000 per percentage point 80.01 - 130% $250,000 per percentage point
Anuhco also receives the full benefit of any remaining assets through its ownership of AFS stock, if unsecured creditors receive distributions, including interest, equivalent to 130% of their claims. The preceding and the following information does not disclose all the financial impacts of the Joint Plan. For a more in-depth analysis, the complete Joint Plan and related Disclosure Statement, incorporated in this 10-K by reference, should be reviewed. AMERICAN FREIGHT SYSTEM, INC.

Assets and Liabilities - Assets, including property and equipment remaining at December 31, 1993 and 1992, are stated at estimated net realizable value. Certain contingent assets have been identified and are described in the Disclosure Statement. Among these contingent assets is a judgment against Westinghouse Credit Corporation ("WCC"). On February 23, 1993, a judgment in favor of Anuhco and AFS was entered in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, Missouri ("the Court"). This judgment was entered in a case filed by Anuhco and AFS against WCC seeking damages as a result of WCC's failure to provide financing pursuant to a loan commitment issued on June 3, 1988. The judgment awarded $70 million in actual damages to be paid to Anuhco and AFS. WCC filed motions with the Court to have this judgment set aside or to have a new trial granted. On April 8, 1993 WCC's motions were overruled. WCC filed a notice of appeal of this judgment with the Western District Court of Appeals of Missouri and posted a $76.35 million surety bond in support of such judgment, accrued interest (9% simple interest) and other costs. Oral arguments before the appellate court were made on November 4, 1993, with an order expected during the first half of 1994. The Appellate Court could (i) reverse the Court's decision, thereby eliminating the judgment; (ii) remand the case to the Court for retrial; or (iii) affirm the Court's decision. Even with the affirmation of the Appellate Court, WCC could request a rehearing before the Appellate Court and/or a transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court. Any damages paid, net of trial expenses, will be remitted to AFS and AFS will distribute such proceeds under the Joint Plan. Under the Joint Plan, if the judgment is affirmed and/or is otherwise substantially collected and the other assets of the discontinued operations are liquidated, Anuhco could receive net proceeds of $29 million to $37 million, including the additional $4 million described under "Distributions" below. This represents $4 to $5 per share based on Anuhco's 7.5 million currently outstanding shares. Anuhco and AFS are unable to predict when or how this matter or other contingent asset issues will ultimately be resolved and, therefore, they have not been included in the above assets. AFS has provided notice to all known creditors and the deadline for filing claims to be resolved under the Joint Plan has expired. Creditors are barred from submitting claims after the deadline. Claims filed by the creditors are significantly in excess of recorded liabilities. In addition, unliquidated and/or contingent claims were filed; the potentially significant claims are described in the Disclosure Statement. Although some of these claims may result in an increase in liabilities, the amount and timing of such liabilities are unknown. AFS is in the process of investigating these claims, however until this process is completed the amount of liabilities to be settled cannot be ascertained. The ultimate resolution of the amounts, validity and priority of recorded liabilities and other claims is uncertain at this time. Accordingly, liabilities are reflected at estimated amounts due or are based on claims filed with the debtor and modified to reflect AFS assets available to distribute on such liabilities. Future Administrative Costs and Investment Income - AFS will continue to incur professional fees and other administrative costs in connection with the sale of its assets, collection of receivables and settlement of its liabilities. In addition, investment income will be realized on funds invested pending disbursements to creditors. The amount of such costs and income will depend on many factors including the length of time the close- down process continues. An accrual of $3.4 million for future administrative costs net of investment income has been reflected in the 1993 consolidated financial statements. The estimated costs and/or income and any deviations therefrom are absorbed by AFS and only impact Anuhco as a result of the aforementioned participation arrangement. Distributions - On February 18, 1992, September 11, 1992, April 15, 1993 and October 13, 1993 AFS made interim distributions under the Joint Plan at the rate of 20%, 20%, 10% and 5%, respectively, of each allowed unsecured claim. Anuhco's participation in these distributions were $1 million, $1.25 million, $2.5 million and $1.25 million, respectively. A portion of these distributions was applied as payment of a note payable to AFS. To date AFS has distributed a total of 95% on allowed claims which is a more favorable result than was assumed in the March 21, 1991 Disclosure Statement relating to the Joint Plan. Such result is due to favorable (i) settlements of certain claims, (ii) court decisions, and (iii) asset realizations. A revised projection, excluding any impact of the WCC judgment, is that total distributions to Anuhco (including the $6 million previously distributed) may exceed $10 million. This revised projection continues to include the assumptions enumerated in the Disclosure Statement regarding conditions and contingencies. Due to the number and value of claims to be resolved and assets to be converted to cash, the timing and amount of additional interim distributions and the timing of the final distribution have not been included in the revised projection. SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION Summary of Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited) Anuhco's quarterly operating results, as well as those of the motor carrier industry in general, fluctuate with the seasonal changes in tonnage levels and with changes in weather related operating conditions. Inclement weather conditions during the winter months adversely affect freight shipments and increase operating costs. Historically, Anuhco has achieved its best operating results in the second and third quarters when adverse weather conditions have a lessor effect on operating efficiency. Discontinued operations reflects the continuing winddown of the AFS and related estates. The amounts and timing of future distributions/income are not known (see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements). The following table sets forth selected unaudited financial information for each quarter of 1993 and 1992 (in thousands, except per share amounts).
