Proxy Statement for the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the Commission under Rule 14a-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the Company's 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders -- Part III of this report. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Armco Inc. ("Armco" or the "Company") was incorporated as an Ohio corporation in 1917 as a successor to a New Jersey corporation incorporated in 1899. Based on sales revenues, Armco is the second largest domestic producer of stainless flat-rolled steels and is the largest domestic producer of electrical steels. The Company owns a 50% partnership interest in National- Oilwell, a distributor of oil country tubular goods and a manufacturer of drilling, production and other oil and gas equipment that operates a network of oil field supply stores throughout North America. Armco also owns Douglas Dynamics, Inc., the largest North American manufacturer of snowplows for four- wheel drive pick-up trucks and utility vehicles and provides insurance services through businesses it intends to sell or liquidate. As part of its strategy to focus on the production of specialty flat- rolled steel, Armco has continued to evaluate the growth potential and profitability of its businesses and investments, and to rationalize or divest those that do not represent a strategic fit or offer growth potential or positive cash flow. In 1992, 1993 and 1994, Armco divested or otherwise rationalized several unprofitable or non-strategic operations. On January 28, 1994, Armco signed a letter of intent to sell its ongoing insurance operations to Vik Brothers Insurance, Inc. ("Vik Brothers"), a privately owned property and casualty insurance holding company. On August 2, 1994, Armco and Vik Brothers signed a definitive agreement, subject to a number of conditions, including approvals by regulatory authorities. Under the terms of the agreement, Armco would be paid approximately $65 million at closing and $15 million in three years, subject to potential adjustment for adverse experience in certain insurance reserves. As a result of restructuring certain obligations arising from the 1992 merger plan for the insurance companies that are being liquidated, any proceeds from the sale are pledged as security for certain note obligations due to these insurance companies and would be retained in the investment portfolio of these companies. In April 1994, Armco Steel Company, L.P. ("ASC"), a carbon steel joint venture with Kawasaki Steel Corporation ("Kawasaki"), completed an initial public offering and recapitalization. As part of this transaction, the business and assets of ASC were transferred to a newly formed company named AK Steel Holding Corporation ("AK Steel"). In the recapitalization, Armco received 1,023,987 shares of common stock of AK Steel and was released from certain obligations to make future cash payments to the former joint venture. In August 1994, Armco sold its conversion business plant in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, and, in September 1994, sold, to its partner, Acerinox S.A., 90% of its investment in North American Stainless ("NAS"), a 50-percent joint venture that finishes chrome nickel flat-rolled stainless steel. Armco, through its subsidiary, First Stainless, Inc., maintains a five percent limited partnership interest in NAS and Armco will supply NAS with chrome nickel stainless steel coils on an annual contract basis at market rates. In October 1994, Armco announced that Eastern Stainless Corporation ("Eastern Stainless"), an 84%-owned subsidiary of Armco, and Avesta Sheffield Holding Company ("Avesta Sheffield") reached an agreement in principle for the sale of all of the assets of Eastern Stainless to Avesta Sheffield for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. A definitive agreement for the sale was signed on February 9, 1995, and on March 14, 1995, Eastern Stainless, Armco and Avesta Sheffield completed the sale. The cash proceeds of the sale were applied to the satisfaction of the Eastern Stainless obligations not assumed by Avesta Sheffield, Armco assumed the net liabilities of Eastern Stainless not assumed by Avesta Sheffield or satisfied by the cash proceeds and Eastern Stainless was dissolved without any shareholder distribution. 1 In December 1994, Armco sold its Bowman Metal Deck division, a producer of carbon steel roof, floor and bridge deck, its Tex-Tube division, a manufacturer of electric welded steel pipe, and its Armco Stainless & Alloy Products plant in Baltimore, Maryland. Business Segments The information on the amounts of revenue, operating results and identifiable assets attributable to each of Armco's business segments, set forth in Note 8 of the Notes to Financial Statements in Armco's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994, is incorporated by reference herein. Additional information about Armco's business segments and equity investments is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis in Armco's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994, which is incorporated by reference herein. Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel Plants in Armco's Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel business segment produce and finish stainless and electrical steel sheet and strip. Its principal manufacturing plants are in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Zanesville, Ohio, where Armco produces flat-rolled stainless and electrical steel sheet and strip products, and in Coshocton, Ohio, where Armco finishes premium quality flat- rolled stainless steel in sheet and strip form. Stainless steel plate products were finished at Eastern Stainless, which was sold on March 14, 1995. The segment also includes the results of European trading companies which buy and sell steel and manufactured steel products. Following the start-up of a new thin-slab continuous caster being installed at Armco's Mansfield, Ohio facilities, the segment will also include sales of specialty steels produced by, and the related operating results of, the Mansfield facilities. The specialty steel industry is a relatively small but distinct segment of the overall steel industry that represented approximately 2% of domestic steel tonnage but accounted for approximately 10% of domestic steel revenues in 1994. Specialty steels refer to alloy tool steel, electrical steel and stainless sheet, strip, plate, bar, rod and wire products. Specialty steels differ from basic carbon steel by their metallurgical composition. They are made with a high alloy content, which enables their use in environments that demand exceptional hardness, toughness, strength and resistance to heat, corrosion or abrasion or combinations thereof. Unlike high-volume carbon steel, specialty steel is generally produced in relatively small quantities utilizing special processing techniques designed to meet more exacting specifications and tolerances. Stainless steel, which represents the largest part of the specialty steel market, contains elements such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum that give it the unique qualities of resistance to rust, corrosion and heat; high strength; good wear characteristics; natural attractiveness; and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel is used in the automotive and aerospace industries, and in the manufacture of food handling, chemical processing, pollution control, medical and health equipment and other products where its combination of strength, durability and attractiveness is desirable. Electrical steels are iron- silicon alloys and, through special production techniques, possess unique magnetic properties that make them desirable for use as energy efficient core material in such applications as electrical transformers, motors and generators. Armco expects that the demand for stainless steel will continue to be positively affected by its increasing use in the manufacture of consumer durable goods and industrial applications. Per capita stainless steel usage in many highly developed countries significantly exceeds per capita usage in the United States and Armco believes that this is an indication of the growth potential of demand for stainless steel in the United States. In addition, the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act have resulted in the increasing use of corrosion-resistant materials in a number of applications for which stainless steel is well suited, including industrial pollution control devices and motor vehicle exhaust systems for use in the United States, where Armco now has the leading market share. Another factor that Armco believes will affect demand positively is the increasing issuance of new car bumper-to- bumper warranties and the use of stainless steel in passenger restraint systems. Stainless steel products 2 generate higher average profit margins than carbon steel products and, depending on the stainless grade, sell at average prices of three to five times those of carbon steel. Armco produces flat-rolled stainless steel and alloy electrical steel sheet and strip products that are used in a diverse range of consumer durables and industrial applications. Since the acquisition of Cyclops Industries, Inc. in April 1992, approximately 70% of Armco's sales of specialty flat- rolled steel has been stainless steel and 30% has been electrical steel. Major markets served are industrial machinery and electrical equipment, automotive, construction and service centers. In the stainless steel market, Armco is the leading domestic producer of chrome grades used primarily in the domestic market for automotive exhaust components. Stainless steel, which formerly was not used in parts of the exhaust system other than the catalytic converter, is now used in the entire exhaust system from manifold to tailpipe by many auto manufacturers. Armco has developed a number of specialty grades for this application, many of which are patented. Armco is also known for its "bright anneal" chrome grade finishes utilized for automotive and appliance trim and other chrome grades used for cutlery, kitchen utensils, scissors and surgical instruments. Specialty chrome nickel grades produced by Armco are used in household cookware, restaurant and food processing equipment and medical equipment. Other Armco stainless products include functional stainless steel manufactured for automotive, agricultural, heating, air conditioning and other manufacturing uses. Before the sale of Eastern Stainless in March 1995, Armco's stainless products also included stainless steel plate, principally in flat plate form, for use in industrial applications where high resistance to heat, stress or corrosion is required. Armco is the only United States manufacturer of a complete line of flat- rolled electrical steel products and is the sole domestic producer of certain high permeability oriented electrical steels. It is also the only domestic manufacturer utilizing laser scribing technology. In this process, the surface of electrical steel is etched with high-technology lasers which refine the magnetic domains of the steel resulting in superior electrical efficiency. Major electrical product categories are: Regular Grain Oriented ("RGO"), used in the cores of energy-efficient power and distribution transformers; Cold Rolled Non-Oriented ("CRNO"), used for electrical motors and lighting ballasts; and TRAN COR[registered trademark]H, which is used in power transformers and is the only high permeability electrical steel made domestically. Armco had trade orders on hand for its Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment (excluding Eastern Stainless) of $187.3 million at December 31, 1994, and $142.1 million at December 31, 1993. The backlog increased in 1994 due to stronger demand and an improving economy. While substantially all of the orders on hand at year-end 1994 are expected to be shipped in 1995, such orders, as is customary in the industry, are subject to modification, extension or cancellation. Armco's specialty steelmaking operations are concentrated in Pennsylvania and Ohio, which permits cost-efficient materials flow between plants. Armco's Butler, Pennsylvania facility, which is situated on 1,300 acres with 3.2 million square feet of buildings, continuously casts 100% of its steel. At Butler, melting takes place in three 165-ton electric arc furnaces that feed the world's largest (175-ton) argon-oxygen decarburization unit for refining molten metal that, in turn, feeds two double strand continuous casters. The melt capacity at Butler was approximately 875,000 tons by year-end 1994. Butler also operates a hot-strip mill, anneal and pickle units and a fully- automated tandem cold-rolling mill. It also has various intermediate and finishing operations for both stainless and electrical steels. Armco's Zanesville, Ohio plant, with 508,000 square feet of buildings on 88 acres, is a dedicated finishing plant for some of the steel produced at the Butler facility and has a Sendzimer cold-rolling mill, anneal and pickle facilities, high temperature box anneal and other decarburization and coating units. 3 The finishing plant in Coshocton, Ohio, located on 650 acres, is housed in a 500,000 square-foot plant and has three Sendzimer mills, four anneal and pickle facilities, three "bright anneal" lines, two 4-high mills for cold reduction and other processing equipment, including temper rolling, slitting and packaging facilities. Following the startup of a new thin-slab continuous caster being installed at Armco's Mansfield, Ohio facilities, which is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 1995, the Mansfield facilities will melt and finish specialty steels, including automotive chrome. Production of specialty steel at Mansfield is expected to begin in the third quarter of 1995. Sales of these specialty steel products and the related operating results will be reported in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Armco announced an expanded capital improvement program under which it will spend up to $95 million over the next two years to upgrade and expand its specialty steel finishing facilities. The program is intended to reduce existing production constraints, increasing specialty steel finishing capacity by approximately 180,000 tons per year, particularly in electrical steels, specialty sheet and strip products, and non-automotive chrome stainless. About $60 million of this total will be spent to upgrade existing equipment at the Butler, Coshocton, Mansfield and Zanesville plants. The remaining $35 million of investment is targeted for proposed new pickling and box annealing facilities. In addition to increasing revenues as a result of expanded finishing capacity, the capital improvements are expected to provide quality improvements and significant annual cost savings. Other Steel and Fabricated Products The businesses currently included in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment are described below: -- Carbon steel operations at Mansfield, Ohio produce commodity grades of carbon steel sheet, much of which is coated at a dedicated galvanizing facility at Dover, Ohio. Under a plan to upgrade the facilities at Mansfield to enhance their steel production capability and improve the operating performance of both the Mansfield and Dover, Ohio operations, Armco has begun installing a thin-slab caster and related plant modifications at Mansfield. Installation is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 1995. The caster is designed to produce carbon steels, and functional grades of chrome stainless steels and nonoriented grades of electrical steels. The sales of these stainless and electrical steels and the related operating results will be reported in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment. The Mansfield plant currently consists of a 1.4 million square-foot facility, including a melt shop with two electric arc furnaces (170-ton and 100-ton), a 100-ton argon-oxygen decarburization unit, a six-stand hot strip mill, a five- stand tandem cold rolling mill and a newly retrofitted Sendzimer mill for chrome stainless finishing. In the second quarter of 1994, Armco idled the Mansfield and Dover production facilities. The Mansfield plant is expected to remain idled until the thin-slab caster is completed. The Dover plant resumed limited production in early 1995. Armco recognized a special charge of $20 million in the first quarter of 1994 for the cost of benefits to employees on layoff and other costs of idling the facilities, as well as costs associated with planned permanent work force reductions. -- Douglas Dynamics, Inc. is the largest North American manufacturer of snowplows for four-wheel drive pick-up trucks and utility vehicles. Douglas Dynamics, Inc., which is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has snowplow manufacturing plants in Rockland, Maine, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Johnson City, Tennessee and sells its snowplows and other light truck equipment through independent distributors throughout the United States and Canada. -- Sawhill Tubular produces steel pipe and tubing, electric welded and mandrel-drawn steel tubing and electric-resistance welded steel pipe at its plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Armco had trade orders on hand for its Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment of $38.6 million at December 31, 1994 and $73.0 million at December 31, 1993. The segment's backlog decreased in 1994 primarily as a result of the idling of the Mansfield and Dover facilities. While 4 substantially all of the orders on hand at year-end 1994 are expected to be shipped in 1995, such orders, as is customary in these industries, are subject to modification, extension or cancellation. Employees At December 31, 1994, Armco had approximately 5,500 employees in its continuing operations and approximately 1,500 employees in its insurance and discontinued operations. Most of Armco's domestic production and maintenance employees are represented by international, national or independent local unions, although some operations are not unionized. Armco has agreements with the local unions at the specialty steel plants in Butler, Pennsylvania and Zanesville, Ohio which terminate September 30, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively. In June 1993, the United Steelworkers of America ("USWA") employees at Armco's Mansfield and Dover, Ohio plants ratified new six-year contracts, which became effective September 1, 1993. In the second half of 1994, the USWA employees and management at the Mansfield and Dover plants reached local agreements which provide for additional improvements in manning levels and work practices. Competition Armco faces intense competition from within the domestic steel industry, from manufacturers of competing products other than steel, including aluminum, plastics, composites and ceramics, and from foreign steel producers as well as foreign producers of components and other products. Many of these foreign producers have lower labor costs and many are owned, controlled or subsidized by their respective governments. Their decisions with regard to production and sales may be influenced more by political and social considerations than prevailing market forces. Many foreign steel producers continue to ship into the United States market despite decreasing profit margins or losses. Depending on a number of market factors, including the strength of the dollar, import levels, and the effectiveness of our nation's trade laws, pricing of the Company's products could be adversely affected. Competition is based primarily on price, with factors such as reliability of supply, service and quality also being important in certain segments. Import penetration for stainless sheet and strip was 23.4% in 1994 compared to 23.9% in 1993. Import penetration of electrical steels was 20.3% in 1994 compared to 22.7% in 1993. In 1993, Armco, Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, the USWA and the independent unions at Armco's plants in Butler, Pennsylvania and Zanesville, Ohio filed a petition requesting that the U.S. government impose both antidumping and countervailing duties on imports of grain-oriented electrical steel from Italy. In addition, Allegheny Ludlum Corporation and the USWA petitioned the U.S. government to assess antidumping duties on imports of grain-oriented electrical steel from Japan. In 1994, the Department of Commerce announced a countervailing duty margin of 24.42% and anti-dumping duties of 60.79% on imports of oriented electrical steel from Italy, and an anti-dumping duty of 31.08% against Japan. Primarily as a result of the imposition of these duties, imports of oriented electrical steel from these countries were severely curtailed during the latter half of 1994 and Armco was able to improve its position in the market and maintain firmer prices. The foreign producers have filed appeals with the court of international trade. Control of unfairly traded foreign steel products was made more difficult when, in 1994, the U.S. government agreed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (or GATT). This agreement weakened existing U.S. trade laws by making it more difficult to win trade cases filed against foreign countries or companies believed to be unfairly selling in the U.S. marketplace. Competition is also presented by the so-called "mini-mills", which generally have smaller, non-unionized work-forces and are relatively free of many of the employer, environmental and other obligations that traditionally have burdened steel producers. Nucor Corporation, a mini-mill steel company, has announced its intention to enter the automotive chrome stainless steel business, with the addition of an argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD) vessel at its Crawfordsville, Indiana melt shop. Production is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 1995, with targeted shipments of 50,000 5 tons in 1995 and 100,000 tons in 1996. Nucor Corporation's entry will intensify competition in the automotive chrome stainless market, which totals about 400,000 tons per year. Armco is currently the leading U.S. producer of automotive chrome stainless steel. Raw Materials and Energy Sources Raw material prices represent a major component of per ton production costs in the specialty steel industry. The principal raw materials used by Armco in the production of specialty steels are iron and steel scrap, molybdenum, chrome and nickel, and their ferroalloys, stainless steel scrap, silicon and zinc. These materials are purchased in the open market from various outside sources. Since much of this purchased raw material is not covered by long-term contracts, availability and price are subject to world market conditions. Chrome and nickel and certain other materials in mined alloy form can be acquired only from foreign sources, many of them located in developing countries that may be subject to unstable political and economic conditions that might disrupt supplies or affect the price of these materials. A significant portion of the chrome and nickel requirements, however, is obtained from stainless steel scrap rather than mined alloys. While certain raw materials have been in short supply from time to time, Armco currently is not experiencing and does not anticipate any problems obtaining appropriate materials in amounts sufficient to meet its production needs. Armco also uses large amounts of electricity and natural gas in the manufacture of its products. It is expected that such energy sources will continue to be reasonably available in the foreseeable future. Compliance with the Clean Air Act, as amended in November 1990, may increase the operating costs of the utilities providing services to Armco's facilities, and in turn may result in increased costs to Armco for utility services. Environmental Matters Armco, in common with other United States manufacturers, is subject to various federal, state and local requirements for environmental controls relating to its operations. Armco has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant resources to control air and water pollutants, to dispose of wastes, and to remediate sites of past waste disposal. Armco estimates capital expenditures for pollution control in its manufacturing operations will be about $27 million for the years 1995-1998, with the largest expenditures being made in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment. Approximately $14 million is related to control of air pollution pursuant to regulations currently promulgated under the Clean Air Act, as amended, and corresponding state laws. These projections, which have been prepared internally and without independent engineering or other assistance, reflect Armco's current analysis of probable required capital projects for pollution control. During the period 1991 through 1994, Armco's capital expenditures for pollution control projects amounted to approximately $10 million including $7 million in 1994. Statutory and regulatory requirements in this area continue to evolve and, accordingly, the type and magnitude of expenditures may change. Armco has been named as a defendant, or identified as a potentially responsible party, in various governmental proceedings regarding cleanup of certain past waste disposal sites. Armco is also a defendant in various private lawsuits alleging property damage and personal injury from waste disposal sites. Joint and several liability could be imposed on Armco or other parties for these matters, thus, theoretically, one party could be held liable for all costs related to a site. While such governmental and private actions are being contested, the outcome of individual matters cannot be predicted with assurance. However, based on its experience with such cases and a review of current claims, Armco expects that in most cases any ultimate liability will be apportioned between Armco and other financially viable parties. From time to time, Armco has been and may be subject to penalties or other requirements as a result of administrative actions by regulatory agencies and to claims for indemnification for properties it has previously owned or leased. In addition, environmental exit costs may be incurred if Armco decides to dispose of additional properties. It is Armco's policy not to accrue such costs until a decision is made to dispose of a property. Based on current facts and circumstances known to Armco, Armco's experience with site remediation, an understanding of current environmental laws and regulations, environmental 6 assessments, the existence of other financially viable parties, expected remediation methods and the years in which Armco is expected to make payments toward each remediation (which range from the current year to 30 years or more in the future), Armco believes that the ultimate liability for environmental remediation matters identified to date will not materially affect its consolidated financial condition or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect to such matters could have a material effect on the results of operations of future interim or annual periods. Furthermore, the identification of additional sites, changes in known circumstances with respect to identified sites, the failure of other parties to contribute their share of remediation costs, decisions to dispose of additional properties and other changed circumstances may result in increased costs to Armco, which could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity and results of operations in future interim or annual periods. However, it is not possible to determine whether additional loss, due to changed circumstances, will occur or to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any potential additional loss. Statutes and regulations relating to the protection of the environment have resulted in higher operating costs and capital investments by the industries in which Armco operates. Although it cannot predict precisely how changes in environmental requirements will affect its businesses, Armco does not believe such requirements would affect its competitive position. Research and Development Armco carries on a broad range of research and development activities aimed at improving its existing products and manufacturing processes and developing new products and processes. Armco's research and development activities are carried out primarily at a central research and technology laboratory located in Middletown, Ohio. This laboratory is engaged in applied materials research related to iron and steel, non-ferrous materials and new materials. In addition, the materials and metallurgy departments at each operating unit develop and implement improvements to products and processes that are directly connected with the activities of such operating unit. Armco spent $14.6 million, $12.9 million and $24.0 million, respectively, on research in the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 (including $0.9 million, $3.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, funded by affiliates, primarily ASC, which is no longer an affiliate, in 1993 and 1992). Equity and Other Investments Armco Steel Company, L.P. ASC was a joint venture limited partnership formed in 1989 by Armco and Kawasaki. With plants located in Middletown, Ohio and Ashland, Kentucky, ASC produced primarily high strength, low carbon flat-rolled steel. These products were supplied to the automotive, appliance and manufacturing markets, as well as to the construction industry and independent steel distributors and service centers. In April 1994, ASC completed an initial public offering and recapitalization. As part of this transaction, the business and assets of ASC were transferred to AK Steel. In the recapitalization, Armco received 1,023,987 shares, or 4.2%, of the AK Steel common stock and was released from certain obligations to make future cash payments to the former joint venture. The number of shares received and other terms of the restructuring and recapitalization were determined by arm's-length negotiations. 7 Armco Financial Services Group AFSG currently consists primarily of insurance companies that Armco intends to sell (the "AFSG companies to be sold") and companies that have ceased writing new business and are being liquidated (the "runoff companies"). The AFSG companies to be sold provide multiple-line casualty insurance, including personal and commercial automobile, workers' compensation, homeowners, multiperil, personal and commercial property and general liability insurance, and consist primarily of Northwestern National Casualty Company ("NNCC"), Pacific National Insurance Company and Statesman Insurance Company ("Statesman"). On January 28, 1994, Armco signed a letter of intent to sell its ongoing insurance operations to Vik Brothers Insurance, Inc., a privately owned property and casualty insurance holding company. On August 2, 1994, Armco and Vik Brothers signed a definitive agreement, subject to a number of conditions, including approvals by regulatory authorities. The sale is expected to close by April 7, 1995. Under the terms of the agreement, Armco would be paid approximately $65.0 million at closing and $15 million in three years, subject to potential adjustment for adverse experience in certain insurance reserves. As a result of restructuring certain obligations arising from the 1992 merger plan for the runoff companies, any proceeds from the sale are pledged as security for certain note obligations due to the runoff companies and would be retained in the investment portfolio of the AFSG runoff companies. The insurance business is highly competitive. Many of the competitors of the AFSG companies to be sold offer more diversified lines of insurance and have substantially greater financial resources. In addition, the insurance regulators having supervisory authority over Armco's insurance operations retain substantial control over certain corporate transactions, including the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold and the liquidation of the runoff companies. They also have broad powers to interpret statutory accounting requirements and to initiate rehabilitation and liquidation proceedings. The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on past experience, for losses incurred but not reported. Such liability is necessarily based on estimates and, while management believes that the amount is fairly stated, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected currently in the earnings of the AFSG companies to be sold. The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is not discounted. The AFSG companies to be sold estimate losses for reported claims on an individual case basis. Case reserves are based on experience with a particular type of risk and the available information surrounding each individual claim. Case reserves are reviewed on a regular basis. As additional facts become available, the case reserves are adjusted as necessary. The stability of the case reserving process is monitored through comparison with ultimate settlement. The estimates of losses for incurred but not reported claims (IBNR), as well as additive reserves for reported claims, are developed primarily from an analysis of historical patterns of the development of paid and incurred losses (dollars and claim counts) by accident year for each line of business. Salvage and subrogation estimates are developed from patterns of actual recoveries. Allocated loss adjustment expense reserves are developed from an analysis of historical patterns of the development of paid allocated loss adjustment expenses to incurred losses, by accident year, by line of business. These historical patterns are then applied to projected ultimate losses for each line of business. Unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves are developed utilizing a cost accounting system. The cost accounting system is based on historical costs modified for anticipated changes in operations and selections of alternative costs. 8 In December 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts." The statement establishes the conditions required for a contract to be accounted for as reinsurance and prescribes accounting and reporting standards for those contracts. The AFSG companies to be sold adopted SFAS No. 113 in 1993. Prior to the adoption of the new statement, assets and liabilities were reported net of the effects of reinsurance. Subsequent to the adoption of the new statement, ceded reinsurance balances due from unaffiliated insurers are reported separately as assets. Ceded reinsurance balances due from affiliated insurers continue to be reported in liabilities. As permitted by the statement, prior period financial statements have been restated. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are stated at management's estimate of the ultimate cost of settling all incurred but unpaid claims. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are not discounted. Activity with respect to loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the last three years is as follows: RECONCILIATION OF LIABILITY FOR LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

9 The following table reconciles reserves determined in accordance with accounting principles and practices prescribed or permitted by insurance statutory authorities (Statutory reserve) to reserves determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") at December 31, as follows:
(Dollars in Thousands) 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Statutory reserve for losses and loss expenses $308,765 297,930 $291,832 Salvage and subrogation -- -- (7,523) Postretirement and postemployment benefits (342) (377) -- -------- -------- -------- GAAP reserve for losses and loss expenses $308,423 $297,553 $284,309 ======== ======== ========
Effective on January 1, 1993 the AFSG companies to be sold adopted a new statutory accounting principle allowing the recognition of salvage and subrogation recoverable in the determination of the statutory reserve for losses and loss expenses. Prior year financial statements have not been restated for the change in accounting principle. Effective on January 1, 1993, the AFSG companies to be sold adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106 and SFAS No. 112 pertaining to postretirement and postemployment benefits. The new accounting principles were adopted for both statutory and GAAP reporting purposes. However, certain differences exist between statutory and GAAP accounting principles that resulted in larger unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves for statutory reporting purposes. The following table presents a calendar year runoff of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses for the years 1985 through 1994. The top line of the table shows the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded as of December 31 for each of the indicated years. This reserve represents the estimated amount of losses and loss expenses for claims arising in all years that are unpaid at the balance sheet date, including losses and loss adjustment expenses that had been incurred but not yet reported. Each column shows the reserve amount at the indicated calendar year end and cumulative data on payments and the re-estimated reserves for all accident years making up that calendar year end reserve. The last entry for each calendar year in the lower section of the table represents the incurred loss and loss expense developed, subsequent to the balance sheet date, through 1994. The estimates are increased or decreased as more information concerning the frequency and severity of claims becomes available. The deficiency depicted for a given year is cumulative for that year and all prior years. The following table shows a $50 million deficiency in 1990 and a $36 million deficiency in 1991 on unpaid losses and LAE gross of reinsurance recoverables. The AFSG companies to be sold experienced a significant number of large losses in 1990 and 1991, predominantly in multi-peril and commercial auto. The deficiencies that occurred in 1990 and 1991 are a result of additional unprecedented developments on these large losses. In addition, approximately $13 million of the deficiency for 1990 pertains to additional development and reserve strengthening that occurred on the 1990 and prior accident year loss and loss expense reserves of Statesman, a company acquired in October 1990. The AFSG companies to be sold implemented new reserving procedures to improve the future adequacy of reserve levels. The AFSG companies to be sold limit the maximum net loss which can arise from large risks by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risks with other reinsurers. The table also shows the deficiency on net loss and loss expense reserves, which is significantly lower than the deficiency in the table above. Significant development on large losses exceeding the AFSG companies to be sold net retention during 1990 and 1991 resulted in a significantly smaller impact on reserve adequacy on a net of reinsurance basis. 10 (Dollars in Millions)

The table does not present accident or policy year development data which readers may be more accustomed to analyzing; therefore, analysis of the effect of loss and loss expense reserving on any particular accident year cannot be discerned. The table reflects adjustments to income in each year for all prior years. Conditions and trends that have affected development of the reserve in the past may not occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on this table. The runoff companies estimate that 60% of future claims will be paid in the next five years and that substantially all of the claims will be paid by the year 2017. The ultimate amount of the claims as well as the timing of the claims payments are estimated based on the annual review of loss reserves performed by the runoff companies' independent and consulting actuaries. While there have been no charges recorded with respect to the runoff companies since 1990, in the future there may be further adverse developments with respect to the runoff companies, which, if not otherwise offset through favorable commutations or other actions, will require additional charges to income. 11 National-Oilwell Armco, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has a 50% partnership interest in National-Oilwell, which was formed in 1987 when Armco and USX Corporation each contributed their oil field equipment operations to National-Oilwell in exchange for equal interests in the new partnership. National-Oilwell is a distributor of oil country tubular goods, a manufacturer of drilling, production and other oil and gas equipment, and an operator of satellite repair and service centers and also operates a network of oil field supply stores throughout North America through which it distributes products to the oil and gas industries worldwide. National-Oilwell has operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Australia and Singapore. National-Oilwell operates in a highly competitive environment. National- Oilwell is not considered a core business of Armco and, as such, Armco continues to consider various options with respect to its investment in this business. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Armco owns and leases property primarily in the United States. This property includes manufacturing facilities, offices and undeveloped property. The locations of Armco's principal plants and materially important physical properties are described in ITEM 1. "BUSINESS" and are used by the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel and Other Steel and Fabricated Product businesses. Armco believes that all its operating facilities are being adequately maintained and are in good operating condition. All of Armco's principal plants and properties are held in fee. Portions of the Houston plant, shutdown in 1983, are leased from the Gulf Coast Waste Disposal Authority (Texas). Armco has an option to purchase the leased facilities at the end of the lease period. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are various claims pending against Armco and its subsidiaries involving product liability, patent, insurance arrangements, environmental, antitrust, hazardous waste, employee benefits and other matters arising out of the conduct of the business of Armco. Reserve Mining Litigation. On July 17, 1992, Armco was sued in the ------------------------- United States District Court, District of Minnesota, Fifth Division, by a group of former salaried employees of Reserve Mining Company ("Reserve"), a joint venture between a subsidiary of Armco and LTV Corporation ("LTV") that produced iron ore pellets. The complaint in Adamson, et al. v. Armco alleges ------------------------ that Armco is liable for certain unpaid welfare benefits, including vacation, severance, supplemental layoff, life insurance and health insurance benefits. While Armco cannot determine the possible exposure, if any, from this lawsuit, plaintiffs preliminarily calculated the benefits at about $12 million. On February 17, 1993, the Court dismissed state law, ERISA and fiduciary claims with prejudice and plaintiffs' independent fiduciary claims without prejudice. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, in response to which Armco filed a motion to dismiss. On October 22, 1993, the Court granted Armco's motion to dismiss in its entirety. On November 22, 1993, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on the February 17 and October 22 decisions. The appeal was argued before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on June 13, 1994. On January 5, 1995, the judgment of the District Court was affirmed by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing on February 1, 1995. On March 24, 1995, the Petition for Rehearing was denied by the Court. In August 1992, an action styled Warner, Donovan, et al. v. Armco Inc. ------------------------------------- was filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota by members of the United Steelworkers of America ("USWA") 12 who declined to participate in the USWA v. Armco settlement. The complaint ------------------------- alleges breaches of the Basic Labor Agreement, Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plan, Insurance Agreement, Pension Agreement and Program of Hospital-Medical Benefits for Pensioners and Surviving Spouses and seeks an unspecified amount of damages. On February 17, 1993, the Court granted Armco's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' state law claims. The plaintiffs' claims based on the labor agreements remain pending. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, in response to which Armco filed a motion to dismiss certain claims therein. On October 22, 1993, the Court granted Armco's motion. On November 8, 1993, Armco filed an answer to the allegations in the amended complaint not subject to the motion to dismiss. Discovery is in progress. On April 25, 1994, an action entitled Larry B. Ricke, Trustee v. Armco -------------------------------- was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota by the Trustee appointed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") for the purpose of recovering from Reserve assets to satisfy Reserve's liability for pension benefit entitlements which are in addition to those guaranteed by the PBGC. The complaint alleges that Armco is liable for the unfunded nonguaranteed benefits under the Pension Plan of Reserve in the amount of $9.2 million plus interest. The pension benefits which are the subject of this action were part of the class settlement of USWA v. Armco. Approximately ------------- fifteen hundred members of the class signed individual releases (19 members who did not are plaintiffs in Warner, Donovan, et al. v. Armco Inc.) releasing ------------------------------------- Armco from all claims, liabilities, etc. based upon or which arise out of any Reserve Employee Pension Benefit Plan. Armco filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint on the basis of said releases which the court denied on March 28, 1995. Armco is considering whether to pursue an appeal of this ruling. While Armco's management believes that it has substantial defenses against these Reserve-related claims, if these creditors and other Reserve creditors are successful in such claims, Armco could become liable for these and other Reserve nondebt obligations in an amount which could be substantial. Eastern Stockholder Litigation. On or about March 13, 1995, an action ------------------------------- entitled Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation vs. Armco Inc. and Eastern ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stainless Corporation was filed in the United States District Court for the --------------------- Southern District of Ohio by the PBGC as a Class B shareholder of Eastern Stainless. The complaint is captioned as a shareholder derivative and class action on behalf of all Class B shareholders. The plaintiffs allege breach of fiduciary duty as well as certain other claims arising from Armco's status as a majority shareholder in Eastern Stainless. The damages are alleged to be in excess of $12 million. The Class B shares were redeemable by Eastern Stainless for $1 a share or approximately $13 million. On March 15, 1995, Eastern Stainless was dissolved without any shareholder distribution. Armco believes that it has substantial defenses available to it with respect to the complaint. CRS Litigation. On October 31, 1990, a third-party complaint was served --------------- on Armco in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland by the owner of a 6.3 mile potable water tunnel designed by defendant, CRS Sirrine ("CRS") and its predecessor companies, and constructed by Armco and Clevecon Inc. ("Clevecon"). Armco built 3.4 miles of the tunnel; Clevecon built the remaining 2.9 miles. No portion of the tunnel, which was completed in early 1984, has ever been functional. Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission filed suit against CRS seeking damages in the amount of $200 million. CRS filed third-party complaints against Armco and Clevecon seeking damages to the extent of any liability of CRS attributable to Armco's or Clevecon's negligence or negligent misrepresentation in connection with the installation of the potable water tunnel and the third-party defendants' alleged defective workmanship in connection with the same. Armco's motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment was denied by the Court. CRS subsequently settled the claims against it by Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission and continued to prosecute its third-party claims against Armco and Clevecon. Oral argument on Armco's re-filed summary judgment motion was held on January 3, 1994. The circuit court denied Armco's summary judgment motion and the case proceeded to trial. On January 28, 1994, a directed verdict was entered by the court in favor of Armco. On January 9, 1995, the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland affirmed, per curiam, Armco's directed verdict against CRS. CRS has petitioned the Maryland Court of Appeals (the state's highest court) for discretionary leave to appeal the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals and Armco has filed a response in opposition. 13 Cornerstones Litigation. An action was filed by Cornerstones Municipal ------------------------ Utility District ("Cornerstones") and William St. John, as representative of a class of owners of real property situated within Cornerstones, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, in July 1989, alleging that Armco Construction Products supplied defective pipe for a sanitary sewer system in three residential subdivisions. The petition sought in excess of $40 million in damages. On May 29, 1991, plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Petition adding Kingsbridge Municipal Utility District ("Kingsbridge") and John Keplinger, as representative of a class of owners of real property situated within Kingsbridge, as additional plaintiffs. The residents of Kingsbridge made similar allegations and sought certification of the class of Kingsbridge homeowners in an effort to recover damages for an allegedly faulty sanitary sewer system in four residential subdivisions. The amended petition sought in excess of $40 million in damages on behalf of the Kingsbridge and the Cornerstones plaintiffs. On January 13, 1992, the Court granted Armco's Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed all of the Cornerstones plaintiffs' claims on the basis of the statute of limitations. The plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. On May 21, 1992, since defendants had not moved for summary judgment against Kingsbridge, the Court of Appeals dismissed Kingsbridge from the appeal. In January 1993, the Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of the Cornerstones action and remanded it to the trial court. In May 1993, the Supreme Court of Texas granted Armco's application for leave to appeal the judgment of the Court of Appeals and heard argument on the matter on September 14, 1993. On November 24, 1993, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remanded the case to the lower court for disposition of unaddressed issues. On remand, in an opinion filed on November 10, 1994, the Court of Appeals reinstated the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Armco on the basis that the Cornerstones claims are barred by the statute of limitations. On December 8, 1994, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs' petition for rehearing. On March 1, 1995, the Cornerstones plaintiffs filed an application for writ of error to the Supreme Court of Texas. Armco is preparing a response in opposition. The Kingsbridge action remains pending before the trial court. In addition, there are three multiple-party homeowners actions which remain pending on behalf of property owners in the Cornerstones Municipal Utility District. The first of these actions, Vincent and Linda Adduci, et ----------------------------- al. v. Armco Steel Corporation, et al., was filed in the 127th District Court -------------------------------------- of Harris County, Texas on or about April 3, 1992, by approximately 87 residents, including the lead plaintiffs, against the same defendants as in the Cornerstones case. On or about September 11, 1992, Harris W. Arthur and ------------ other plaintiff homeowners commenced a similar action, styled Harris W. --------- Arthur, et al. v. Monsanto Company, et al., in the 133rd Judicial District ------------------------------------------ Court of Harris County. On or about March 22, 1993, a third action, captioned William C. Irons, et al. v. Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., et al., was filed ----------------------------------------------------------------- in the 152nd Judicial District Court of Harris County by the lead plaintiff and approximately 100 additional residents. All three cases are substantially based upon the same theories as the Cornerstones case and were separately ------------ filed after an effort to have the Cornerstones complaints certified as a class ------------ action was denied by the court. These three actions each seek an unspecified amount of damages. Armco Chile Prodein, S.A. Litigation. On or about November 15, 1991, ------------------------------------- Armco and Armco Chile Prodein, S.A. ("Armco Chile") were sued for damages in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama by a maritime cargo carrier. The plaintiff's claims were based upon allegations of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent interference with contractual relations and wrongful arrest. Plaintiff's allegations arose out of a series of transactions in which it was engaged by Armco Chile to transport fiberglass reinforced pipe from Jacksonville, Florida to Talcahuano, Chile. The plaintiff made three such shipments of pipe. After discovering damage to the first and second shipments of pipe, which defendants contended was due to negligence by plaintiff, Armco Chile arrested, pursuant to Chilean law, the vessel which plaintiff utilized to carry the third shipment of pipe. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the arrest was wrongful and that the alleged wrongful arrest resulted in such severe damage to the plaintiff's business interests and reputation that the plaintiff went out of business. The plaintiff's experts claimed that the damages suffered by plaintiff range from $38 million to $47 million. Both Armco and Armco Chile filed motions for summary judgment. On January 25, 1993, the court granted summary judgment discharging Armco and subsequently denied plaintiff's motions for reconsideration of the summary judgment granted to Armco. On April 30, 1993, a jury verdict on plaintiff's wrongful arrest and lost profits claims was 14 rendered in favor of the plaintiff and against Armco Chile in the amount of $10,500,000. Judgment on the verdict was entered by the Court on May 7, 1993. Thereafter, Armco Chile filed a motion seeking judgment as a matter of law or, alternatively, for a new trial. On October 12, 1993, finding that the jury's verdict on liability and damages was against the weight of the evidence, the trial court granted the defendant's post-trial motion, entering judgment in favor of Armco Chile against the plaintiff. The court also granted Armco's motion for a conditional new trial in the event the judgment was overturned on appeal. The plaintiff appealed this ruling to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On September 12, 1994, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed per curiam the ruling of the district court. The plaintiff filed a petition for rehearing en banc which was denied by the Eleventh Circuit of Appeals on November 14, 1994. The time for filing a petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court has expired. Environmental Proceedings. Some of Armco's operations are subject to -------------------------- consent orders or judgments under local, state or federal environmental laws and regulations which require Armco to comply with certain discharge standards and to add certain pollution abatement equipment. Armco has received a number of notices identifying Armco as a potentially responsible party under federal or state laws imposing liability for costs in connection with alleged releases of hazard substances from various waste treatment or disposal sites. It is routinely asserted that joint and several liability will be applied; thus, a single party could be held liable for all costs related to a site. However, Armco's experience has been that liability is usually apportioned on the basis of volume and/or toxicity of materials sent to a site. In many cases, Armco is one of several hundred parties. In a few instances, Armco is one of only a few parties or solely liable. In most instances, Armco expects that any ultimate liability will be apportioned between Armco and other financially viable parties. Armco has also received some claims for indemnification for properties it previously owned or leased. Armco intends to assert all meritorious legal and equitable defenses which are available to it with respect to environmental matters. See "Item 1- BUSINESS--Environmental Matters". The following paragraphs provide information about unresolved environmental matters that have been reported in previous 10-K or 10-Q filings and certain new matters. On July 31, 1989, the United States filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, against 85 parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") for cost recovery and injunctive relief associated with the French Limited Superfund site (the "French Limited Site") near Crosby, Texas. Concurrently, the United States government filed a Consent Decree requiring the defendants to reimburse the United States in the amount of $1.3 million, to pay certain future oversight costs and to undertake remedial action at the French Limited Site. The Decree was approved and entered by the court. The remedy outlined in the Decree has been implemented and remediation is expected to be complete in 1996. Armco's estimated remaining share of costs, which is fully accrued, is approximately $1.3 million. Armco was one of four remaining defendants in several class actions filed on behalf of residents near the French Limited Site; these actions were settled in late 1992 and dismissed with prejudice. Approximately 300 individuals who chose not to settle in the original actions were joined in the case, Rosa Ann Barrett, et al. v. Atlantic Richfield Company ("ARCO"), et al., ----------------------------------------------------------------------- which was in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division ("Houston"). On June 20, 1994, the court granted summary judgment against all but two of the Barrett plaintiffs on the grounds ------- that they had not established a factual basis for their personal injury claims. Settlement of the claims of the two remaining plaintiffs subsequently was finalized, and Armco's share of the settlement was $1,356. On September 20, 1994, the court entered a final order denying plaintiffs' motion for rehearing or new trial and dismissing all of plaintiffs' claims in this case. The Barrett plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on October 19, 1994. In ------- another case, which was filed in the Houston court, Rhonda Sills v. ARCO, et. ------------------------- al., which also alleged personal injury, the court entered its order granting --- summary judgment against the plaintiffs on October 17, 1994. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on February 6, 1995. In the case styled John D. Bertling, ----------------- et al. v. ARCO, et al., which was filed in the Houston Court in May 1994 and ---------------------- raised claims of business losses, Mr. Bertling has accepted a settlement offer made by Armco and two other defendants. Armco's share of the settlement is $4,244.36. 15 Armco and Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District ("TBA") entered into a Consent Decree with the State of Michigan in May 1994, resolving claims of contamination of TBA property. Under the Consent Decree, Armco paid $528,070 for past costs; and will pay 60% of additional state oversight costs as well as for part of the site remediation. Armco's share of the remediation cost is expected to be about $530,000. An action styled The United States of America, State of Maryland v. -------------------------------------------------- Azrael, et al. v. Armco Steel Corporation, et al. was filed in the United ------------------------------------------------- States District Court for the District of Maryland pursuant to Section 107 of CERCLA to recover monies expended by the United States and the State of Maryland in response to a release and threatened release (federal allegation) and an imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare presented by the release or substantial threat of release (state allegation) of hazardous substances from a waste disposal site at the intersection of Kane and Lombard Streets in Baltimore, Maryland. Armco was served with a third- party complaint on April 19, 1991. The third-party complaint alleges that Armco arranged for the disposal and/or treatment or arranged with a transporter for transport for disposal or treatment of hazardous waste to the Kane and Lombard site. A determination has not been made as to how much waste, if any, Armco sent to the site. Based on settlement discussions to date, Armco expects to settle the suit at an amount that is not material. On or about September 29, 1989, the United States filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota under CERCLA for declaratory relief and cost recovery associated with the Arrowhead Refining Superfund site (the "Arrowhead Site") in Hermantown, Minnesota, naming Armco as a defendant. The current estimated cost to clean up the Arrowhead Site is about $20 million. Armco settled the case with the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") and other potentially responsible parties (PRP's") for payment of $4,988,920 in November 1994 (which is in addition to $2.4 million Armco paid in prior years and credit for $2.5 million which was previously paid by LTV). Armco expects no further payment requirements for remediation of this site. On July 19, 1993, Armco received a request from USEPA under Section 3007 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") for information as part of an ongoing investigation into compliance with a Consent Agreement and Final Order dated October 27, 1988, (the "Consent Order") relating to two inactive waste surface impoundments located at the former E.G. Smith plant in Cambridge, Ohio. Armco had sold the Flour City Cambridge, Ohio plant in February, 1993, but retained title to 21.5 acres of the Cambridge facility, including the surface impoundments. Armco submitted a revised closure plan for this site in September 1993. Armco has established reserves which it believes will be adequate to cover the required closure. The Department of Justice notified Armco in March 1994 that it was prepared to file a complaint in this matter alleging that there was non-compliance with the Consent Order in about 1989 and 1990. A tentative settlement with the Department of Justice has been reached but a consent order implementing the settlement has not yet been negotiated. A penalty of $100,000 is expected; other costs are not expected to be material. In September 1992, National Supply Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Armco ("National Supply") and a 50% general partner in National- Oilwell, received a letter from USEPA, which asserted that National Supply and/or National-Oilwell was a PRP under CERCLA with respect to the Odessa Drum Company, Inc. Superfund site located in Odessa, Ector County, Texas. Armco settled this matter for $119. Armco is one of four companies that are identified by the USEPA as PRP's at the Fultz Landfill Superfund site in Byesville, Ohio; Armco received the initial CERCLA information request about this site in 1985. USEPA's estimate for remediation costs is about $15 million. Armco is negotiating jointly with USEPA and the Department of Justice to settle its liability. The initial proposal from the Department of Justice was unacceptable to Armco and Armco is preparing a counter proposal. The outcome of negotiations or litigation can not be determined at this time, however, even if Armco were to have accepted the Department of Justice's initial proposal, the amount which would be expected to be paid out over the next several years would not be material to Armco. 16 Armco received a unilateral order in September 1994 from USEPA to complete remediation of contaminated soil on certain property in New Boston, Ohio which had been sold to New Boston Industrial Corporation several years ago. Prior to the sale, the salvage contractor hired by the current owner (which was then occupying the property as a tenant) engaged in intentional conduct which resulted in contamination. Armco and the current owner have collected $825,000 on a $1 million performance bond which had been obtained to secure the contractor's performance. These funds were used for remediation and oversight of the cleanup. Armco is conducting the remaining cleanup which is estimated to cost about $5.2 million; all contaminated soil which had previously been excavated has been shipped off-site; additional soil samples will be taken to determine whether additional excavation is necessary. Armco is seeking contribution from other PRPs, but no estimate as to the amount of such contribution can be made at this time. In July of 1990, Eastern Stainless Corporation entered into a Consent Order with the Maryland Department of Environment to resolve a complaint alleging various violations of environmental requirements. This Order was followed by a voluntary Consent Judgment on April 17, 1992 and an amendment of the Consent Judgment in August of 1993. Pursuant to the Order and Judgment, Eastern Stainless spent a total of about $5.4 million in 1991 through 1994 on various pollution prevention projects. In addition, Eastern Stainless paid a $0.3 million penalty. Armco believes Eastern Stainless was in compliance with the Consent Judgment at the time Eastern Stainless was sold to Avesta Sheffield, Inc. By Court Order, dated March 10, 1995, Avesta was substituted for Eastern Stainless as the responsible party under the Consent Order, and Armco expects to have no further liability in regard to the Consent Judgment. On July 22, 1993, Armco received a request from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment ("KDHE") for information regarding a former Armco Construction Products Division plant located in Topeka, Kansas and now owned by Contech Construction Products, Inc. ("Contech"). Armco answered KDHE's information request in August 1993 and KDHE has indicated it will pursue Contech and two other parties regarding this matter. Armco is working with Contech to resolve any indemnification obligation Armco may have under the agreement conveying the property to Contech. Based on the type of contamination at issue and the presence of other potentially responsible parties, Armco does not believe its liability will be material. In December 1993, Armco and one other company received a notice of nonbinding preliminary allocation of proportionate responsibility from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources ("PADER") for the William Taylor Estate site. PADER has decided to conduct additional investigations at this site. Based on current information about type of contamination and the presence of other potentially responsible parties, Armco does not expect its liability to be material. On February 16, 1994, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the USEPA jointly issued a Part B permit to the Kansas City facility under RCRA. Armco petitioned the Environmental Appeals Board for review of most of such permit provisions. The appeal was resolved through negotiation. Armco is initiating the investigation and remediation required under the revised permit which was issued in November, 1994. Initial investigation costs may reach $1 million; there is not sufficient information regarding soil and groundwater conditions to reasonably estimate remediation costs at the present time. The Malitovsky Drum Superfund site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which Armco was a named PRP was resolved through entry of a Consent Decree on February 21, 1995, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Armco had previously deposited $118,333 in a PRP trust fund as its share of liability in this matter. No further liability is anticipated for this matter. On January 18, 1994, Armco received a 104(e) request for information under CERCLA from USEPA regarding shipments to the Granville Solvents site in Ohio. In August 1994, USEPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent ("AOC") with a number of potentially responsible parties at the Granville Solvents Site in Ohio. Armco did not sign the AOC because the terms were deemed unacceptable. Issues of particular concern were stipulated penalties for migration of contaminants, 17 lack of specificity as to what remediation would be required at the site and lack of a meaningful procedure to resolve disputes between the parties and USEPA. Four of the signatories to the AOC, who claim to have an assignment of rights by other companies who signed the AOC, initiated a contribution action on September 9, 1994, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against all the potentially responsible parties, including Armco, who did not sign the AOC. Armco made a settlement offer to all the AOC signatories under which Armco would pay about 15% of remediation costs, which are currently estimated at $5 million. This offer was rejected by the plaintiffs and has been withdrawn. A scheduling order for discovery is being developed. On February 27, 1995, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV") to Armco's Zanesville, Ohio facility alleging noncompliance with both a 1993 Order and various state regulations regarding hazardous waste management. Armco is reviewing the NOV, implementing appropriate corrective measures and preparing a response. No proposed penalties were included in the NOV and Armco cannot reasonably estimate potential penalties based on current information. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability resulting from the claims described in the preceding paragraphs in the "Legal Proceedings" section will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or liquidity of Armco and its subsidiaries; however, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's operating results, future developments with respect to such matters could have a material effect on its financial condition, liquidity and results of operations in future interim or annual periods.

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 National-Oilwell and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the 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. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP January 26, 1995 28 NATIONAL-OILWELL CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

32 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation National-Oilwell ("Company") is a partnership organized under the laws of Delaware. The partnership was formed in April 1987 to consolidate the oilfield manufacturing and distribution operations of Armco Inc. ("Armco") and USX Corporation ("USX"). National-Oilwell is a general partnership between National Supply Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Armco and Oilwell, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of USX. Each of the partners has a 50% interest in the partnership. All references to the Company in these financial statements are synonymous with National-Oilwell as previously described. The Company distributes an extensive line of oilfield supplies, oilfield equipment and tubular products and designs and manufactures a variety of oilfield equipment for use in oil and gas drilling, completion and production activities. The Oilfield Distribution segment is comprised of the Distribution Services and Tubular Distribution business units. This segment distributes products through a large network of oilfield supply stores and also procures and distributes oil country tubular goods manufactured by third parties. The Oilfield Equipment segment consists of the Drilling Systems and Equipment and Pumping Systems business units. This segment designs and manufactures drilling equipment, marine equipment, and an extensive line of pumps used in a variety of oil and gas and industrial applications. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries have elected a December 31 year-end. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major improvements which extend the lives of property and equipment are capitalized while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of individual items. Inventories Inventories consist of (a) standardized oilfield products and oil country tubular goods, (b) manufactured equipment and (c) spare parts for the manufactured equipment. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method of valuing inventories. Foreign Currency The functional currency for the Company's Canadian, United Kingdom, Australian and Venezuelan subsidiaries is the local currency. The cumulative effects of translating the balance sheet accounts from the functional currency into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment in partners' equity. The U.S. dollar is used as the functional currency for the Singapore subsidiary. For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in income. 33 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) Concentration of Credit Risk The Company grants credit to its customers which are primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. Receivables are generally due within 30 days. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses and such losses have consistently been within management's expectations. Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company made income tax payments of $557,000, $392,000 and $573,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of products is recognized upon passage of title to the customer, which in most cases coincides with shipment of the related products. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt instruments. Cash equivalents include only those investments having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. The book values of these financial instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. See Note 5 for the terms and carrying values of the Company's various debt instruments. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. During 1994, 1993 and 1992, research and development costs were $579,000, $1,115,000, and $2,077,000, respectively. Reclassifications Certain amounts from the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation. 3. Inventories Inventories consist of:
December 31, --------------------- 1994 1993 --------- --------- (In thousands) Raw Materials and Supplies $ 12,486 $ 23,016 Work in Process 5,112 12,855 Finished Goods 106,498 117,188 --------- --------- Total $124,096 $153,059 --------- --------- Foreign inventories are approximately 20% of total inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
34 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) 4. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment consist of:
December 31, ----------------- 1994 1993 ------- ------- (In thousands) Land and improvements $ 5,718 $ 7,755 Buildings 10,772 14,820 Machinery and equipment 53,886 83,157 Other, including computer equipment and furniture and fixtures 21,366 24,128 ------- ------- Total 91,742 129,860 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (69,345) (94,388) ------- ------- Net $ 22,397 $ 35,472 ------- -------
Equipment included in gross assets acquired under capital leases totaled -0- at December 31, 1994 and $3,379,000 at December 31, 1993. Related amortization included in the accumulated depreciation and amortization balance totaled -0-, and $2,105,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 5. Notes Payable At December 31, 1994, the Company had bank lines of credit totaling approximately $50 million, of which $20 million had been utilized for letters of credit with no loans outstanding. The primary revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) expires in March 1995 and is secured by inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment, and the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants relative to net worth, leverage ratio, working capital and cash flow. The Company has complied with all covenants. A weekly borrowing base formula is used to determine credit availability. The interest rate in the Credit Agreement fluctuates with short-term interest rates. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 1994 was 10.25%. A commitment fee of 1/2% per annum is charged on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate was approximately 8.5% and 8.0% for 1994 and 1993, respectively. Interest paid was $3,444,000 during 1994, $3,693,000 during 1993 and $4,943,000 during 1992. During the year, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow for the sale of certain production equipment product lines with the resultant adjustments to the financial covenants. Other amendments and consents were processed during the year as appropriate. The Company is currently negotiating a new revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The Revolver is expected to consist of a three-year nonamortizing credit facility which includes a sub-facility for issuance of letters of credit. In October 1994, the Company paid all outstanding principal and interest due to the Company's two owners relative to each of their $6,500,000 subordinated notes due March 1995. 35 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) 6. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company leases land, buildings and storage facilities, vehicles, and data processing equipment under operating leases extending through the year 2004. The Company's annual lease commitments for operating leases at December 31, 1994 were as follows:
Operating Leases ------- (In thousands) 1995 $ 6,850 1996 4,944 1997 3,557 1998 2,569 1999 1,003 Thereafter 6,646 ------- Total $25,569 -------
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $8,691,000, $10,372,000 and $11,325,000, respectively. Contingencies The Company is the subject of, or a party to, various claims, regulatory agency audits, and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The total liability on these matters at December 31, 1994 cannot be determined; however, in the opinion of management, any ultimate liability resulting, to the extent not otherwise provided for, should not materially affect the financial position, liquidity, or results of operations of the Company. 7. Pension Plans The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have several pension plans covering substantially all of its employees. The two largest are considered defined-contribution pension plans and cover most of the domestic employees and employees of the Canadian subsidiary. Contributions to the plans are based on employees' years of service equating to a percentage of current earnings. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, domestic pension expense for the defined-contribution plan was $1,745,000, $1,812,000 and $1,888,000 respectively, and the funding is current. Pension expense of the foreign operations for the defined-contribution plan totaled $169,000 for 1994, $193,000 for 1993, and $154,000 for 1992. National-Oilwell (U.K.) Ltd., the Company's U.K. subsidiary, has a defined- benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees in that country. Benefits paid to retirees are based upon age at retirement, years of credited service, and average compensation. Contributions to the plan are determined by an independent actuary on the basis of annual valuations. The U.K. pension plan assets are invested primarily in U.K. and overseas equities, U.K. government securities, overseas bonds, and cash deposits. There are no unamortized prior service costs. The plan assets at fair market value were $27,389,000 at December 31, 1994 and $30,666,000 at December 31, 1993. The projected benefit obligation was $20,630,000 at December 31, 1994 and $22,440,000 at December 31, 1993. Net periodic pension cost recognized as (income)/expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was ($69,000), $699,000 and $986,000, respectively. 36 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) 8. Other Postretirement Benefit Plans In addition to the Company's defined-contribution and defined-benefit pension plans, the Company has defined-benefit postretirement plans covering most of the domestic employees. One plan provides life insurance benefits for most domestic employees. The other plan provides medical and life benefits for former hourly employees associated with a discontinued manufacturing facility and medical benefits for their spouses. The medical plan allows for basic or optional coverage. The basic component is noncontributory and the optional coverage rates are based upon pro rata level of cost sharing between the Company and its retirees. The life insurance plans are noncontributory. None of the plans were amended during 1994, 1993 or 1992. The Company's policy is to fund the cost of postretirement health care and life benefits as they are incurred. In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The Company elected immediate recognition of the transition obligation at January 1, 1992 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The effect of adopting the new rules increased 1992 net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the above defined-benefit plans by $195,000 and the cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 1992 increased net loss by $3,337,000. The following table shows the plans' combined funded status reconciled with amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1994 and 1993:
Medical/Life Plans --------------------- 1994 1993 ------- ------- (In thousands) Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 786 $ 1,006 Fully eligible active plan participants 1,244 2,501 Other active plan participants 129 156 ------- ------- Accumulated postretirement benefit cost 2,159 3,663 Benefit obligation recorded on the balance sheet 3,861 3,765 ------- ------- Unrecognized net gain $1,702 $ 102 ------- -------
The recorded benefit obligation in excess of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation represents unrecognized gains. The 1994 actuarial valuation for the medical and life benefit plan related to the discontinued manufacturing facility includes a change in assumption related to cost-sharing considerations with participants' current employers. The resulting unrecognized gain is being amortized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. Net periodic retirement benefit cost includes the following components:
Medical/Life Plans ------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ------- ------- ------- (In thousands) Service cost $ 15 $ 13 $ 12 Interest cost 161 240 232 Amortization of cumulative unrecognized net (gain)loss (37) -0- -0- ------- ------- ------- Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $139 $253 $244 ------- ------- -------
37 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 10.0% for 1995, 9.5% for 1996, decreasing by 0.5% per year to 5.5% by 2005, and 5.5% per year thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 1994 by $61,000, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 by $6,000. The weighted-average discount rate used to determine the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was approximately 8% at December 31, 1994 and 7% at December 31, 1993. 9. Income Taxes As a partnership, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal taxes on its income. The general partners include in their federal and state tax returns the partnership's results of operations. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been made by the Company. The Company adopted the liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective January 1, 1992. The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 decreased net loss by $4,473,000 in 1992 (there was no pretax effect of adopting the Statement). The geographical sources of income (loss) before income taxes and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles were as follows:
Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ------- ------- ------- (In thousands) United States $22,840 $(16,446) $(26,880) Foreign 2,081 854 (8,507) ------- ------- ------- Income/(loss) Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles $24,921 $(15,592) $(35,387) ------- ------- -------
Tax rates related to foreign income range from 30% to 50%. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
December 31, ------------------- 1994 1993 ------- ------- (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Book over tax depreciation $ 1,729 $ 3,644 Product warranty accruals 2,887 1,267 Net operating loss carryforwards 7,268 7,257 Other 508 1,296 ------- ------- Total deferred tax assets $12,392 $13,464 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (9,887) (9,428) ------- ------- $ 2,505 $ 4,036 ------- ------- Deferred tax liabilities: Tax over book depreciation $ 346 $ 666 Other 200 354 ------- ------- Total deferred tax liabilities $ 546 $ 1,020 ------- ------- Net deferred tax assets $ 1,959 $ 3,016 ------- -------
38 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) The income tax liability of the Company's foreign and domestic subsidiaries is reflected in the Company's financial statements. Deferred income taxes, attributable to the foreign subsidiaries, result primarily from temporary differences in depreciation and other expenses for tax and financial statement purposes. At December 31, 1994, the Company had tax loss carryforwards available at certain foreign subsidiaries totaling $21 million. The tax loss carryforwards have no expiration date; however, they are only available against income arising from the same line of business. 10. Special Charges/(Credits) Special charges/(credits) consist of the following:
1994 1993 1992 ------- ------- ------- Sales of product lines $(15,648) $ 10,000 $ -0- Employee termination benefits 3,207 -0- 4,520 Exit costs 610 365 1,980 Reversal of prior year reserves (2,085) (1,800) (1,300) ------- ------- ------- Total $(13,916) $ 8,565 $ 5,200 ------- ------- -------
Sales of Product Lines 1994 ---- The Company completed the sales of certain production equipment product lines not considered part of its core businesses under asset sales agreements during the last half of 1994. Sale of the fluid control systems, rod pump, sucker rod, and hydraulic product lines resulted in a gain of $15.6 million. Proceeds received in 1994 totaled approximately $41.0 million and were used to reduce debt. As a result of the sales, the Company will no longer manufacture these products but will continue as a distributor. It is estimated future revenues will be reduced by approximately $18.0 million due to these product line sales; however, the impact on net income in 1994, as well as in subsequent years, was not and is not expected to be significant. 1993 ---- During 1993, the Company implemented a business strategy to focus on its core businesses and divest marginal or unprofitable product lines. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $10.0 million charge for the estimated loss on the sale of its wellhead business under an asset sales agreement signed in December 1993. This charge included an $8.5 million writedown of inventories and property, plant and equipment to estimated net realizable values and $1.5 million for transition and other direct costs of disposal. Proceeds from the wellhead business sale of $28.7 million, which closed in January 1994, were used to reduce debt. There were no significant costs expensed in 1994 related to the disposition of this product line. Employee Termination Benefits 1994 ---- In conjunction with the formal announced shutdown of the Stockport, England, plant on January 9, 1995, the Company expensed approximately $3.2 million in 1994 relating to employee termination benefits. These benefits are calculated pursuant to the terms of the United Kingdom preexisting employee benefit plan. Benefit payments of $1.2 million were paid in the fourth quarter of 1994 related to the termination of 77 employees. Approximately $0.5 million of these benefit payments were accrued in 1992. The remaining reserve of $2.5 million is for 115 employees and will be paid in 1995. 39 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) 1992 ---- The majority of the employee termination benefits in 1992 related to the Company's United Kingdom operations. In connection with the closing of the London, England, office and the rationalization of the Company's subsea wellhead manufacturing efforts in the United Kingdom, the Company recorded employee termination benefits of $3.8 million in 1992 related to approximately 225 employees. Approximately 77, 124, and 20 employees were actually terminated in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, with the actual cost charged against the reserve. As of December 31, 1994, the reserve for these employee terminations is -0-. Exit Costs 1994 ---- The consolidation of the Company's Houston, Texas, manufacturing operations resulted in exit costs of $0.6 million in 1994. These costs primarily included equipment relocation costs and lease termination costs. The remaining liability at December 31, 1994 represents $0.2 million for lease termination costs related to abandoned facilities. 1993 and 1992 ------------- The 1992 decision to close the Company's New Iberia, Louisiana, oilfield equipment manufacturing facility resulted in exit costs of approximately $0.9 million which primarily consisted of inventory writedowns and relocation of machinery and equipment. The plant closure was completed in 1993 for a total cost of approximately $1.3 million. Accordingly, the reserve for this plant closure was -0- at December 31, 1993. Exit costs in 1992 also included $1.1 million in the U.K. related to lease termination costs as a result of management's plans to vacate the London, England, and Aberdeen, Scotland, wellhead sales, service and administrative offices. The remaining reserve at December 31, 1994 of approximately $0.3 million represents the future lease costs of the Aberdeen, Scotland, office. Reversal of Reserves The reversal of reserves in 1994, 1993, and 1992 were recorded as credits to special charges. These items primarily relate to an $18.5 million reserve initially recorded in 1991 to accrue for the estimated loss on the shutdown and disposition of the plant and related machinery and equipment at Garland, Texas. The $1.3 million reversal primarily relates to excess transition expense accruals no longer needed when the plant shutdown was completed in 1992. The $1.8 million reversal primarily related to excess machinery, equipment and inventory relocation accruals no longer needed after movement to the Company's other facilities was completed in 1993. The $2.1 million reversal primarily related to excess accruals for potential demolition and environmental cleanup no longer needed when the facility was finally sold in 1994. 11. Related Party Transactions The Company maintains ongoing business relationships with Armco Inc. and USX Corporation, the parent companies of the general partners, and their subsidiaries. Significant related party transactions with these companies included:

40 NATIONAL-OILWELL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED) At December 31, 1994, the Company leases office space for its headquarters facility, as well as other operating locations, from the parent companies or their subsidiaries. Future minimum lease payments applicable to these leasing agreements total $5,031,000. Rental expense to related parties totaled $1,342,000, $1,165,000 and $1,203,000 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and is excluded from purchases. A $31 million cash distribution was made to the owners in December 1994. 12. Business Segments and Geographic Areas The Company's operations consist of two segments, the oilfield distribution segment and the oilfield equipment segment. The oilfield distribution segment distributes an extensive line of oilfield supplies, oilfield equipment and tubular products. The oilfield equipment segment designs and manufactures a variety of oilfield equipment for use in oil and gas drilling, completion and production activities. Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at commercial prices.

43 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Armco Inc.: We have audited the statement of consolidated net assets of Armco Financial Services Group - Companies to be Sold as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also included Financial Statement Schedule I, Summary of Investments - Other than Investments in Related Parties; Schedule II, Condensed Financial Information; Schedule IV, Reinsurance; Schedule V, Valuation and Qualifying Accounts; and Schedule VI, Supplemental Information Concerning Property-Casualty Insurance Operations. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules 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 consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Armco Financial Services Group - Companies to be Sold at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As discussed in Notes 3 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting for reinsurance contracts and postretirement benefits other than pensions. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 31, 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting for investments in debt securities. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Milwaukee, Wisconsin March 15, 1995 44 ARMCO FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP - COMPANIES TO BE SOLD Statement of Consolidated Net Assets As of December 31, 1994 and 1993 (Dollars in thousands)

48 ARMCO FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP - COMPANIES TO BE SOLD Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Armco Financial Services Group - Companies to be Sold (AFSG - Companies to be Sold or the Company) consists of the net assets of Armco Inc.'s (Armco) insurance companies which Armco intends to sell and which continue underwriting activities. These activities principally represent the transactions of Northwestern National Holding Company, Inc. (NNHC), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Armco Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Armco. Prior to 1993, Armco accounted for the operating results of the AFSG companies to be sold under the cost recovery method, whereby net income was not recognized until realized through a sale of the businesses, while net losses were charged against income as incurred. Armco now presents these businesses as discontinued operations. NNHC owns 100% of the common and preferred stock of Northwestern National Casualty Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NN Insurance Company and SICO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Statesman Insurance Company (Statesman), and Statesman's wholly owned subsidiary Timeco, Inc. (collectively, SICO) (collectively, NNCC), Pacific National Insurance Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Automobile Insurance Company (collectively, PNIC), and Certified Finance Corporation (CFC). CFC had not commenced operations as of December 31, 1994. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NNHC and its subsidiaries NNCC, PNIC and CFC (collectively, the Company). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Business Segment - The Company operates in a single business segment, property and casualty insurance. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which vary from statutory reporting practices prescribed for insurance companies by regulatory authorities (see Note 9). Investments - Fixed maturity investments include bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Fixed maturity investments which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity ("held to maturity") are reported at amortized cost. Fixed maturity investments which are available for sale ("available for sale") are reported at market value. Equity securities are common stocks which are reported at market value. The difference between cost and market value of fixed maturity investments available for sale is reflected as a component of net assets. Short-term investments (cash equivalents) are reported at cost which approximates market value. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The statement requires fixed maturity investments which are available for sale to be recorded at market value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 115 on December 31, 1993 and reclassified certain investments from the "held to maturity" class into the "available for sale" class on the same date. The financial statement effect of adopting the statement was to increase investments by $13,321,000 and net assets by $13,321,000. Amounts reported in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for 1993 are based on the classification of securities prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115. Investment income consists primarily of interest which is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities is determined on the effective yield method based on estimated principal payments. Realized capital gains and losses, calculated as the difference between proceeds and book value, are determined by specific identification of the investments sold. 49 Recognition of Premium Revenues - Premiums, net of reinsurance ceded, are earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the policy. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs - Policy acquisition costs that vary with and are directly related to the production of premiums are deferred and amortized over the terms of the policies to which they relate. Amortization for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $45,837,000 , $46,456,000 and $49,912,000, respectively. The Company does not include anticipated investment income when assessing the recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs. Depreciation - Depreciation on property and equipment is provided primarily on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation periods range from 3 to 10 years for personal property and from 5 to 40 years for real property. Goodwill - Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired subsidiaries, is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years. The Company assesses whether its goodwill is impaired at each balance sheet date based on an evaluation of undiscounted projected cash flows through the remaining amortization period. If an impairment is determined, the amount of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Cash Flow - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Insurance Liabilities - The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on past experience, for losses incurred but not reported. Such liability is necessarily based on estimates and, while management believes that the amount is fairly stated, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in earnings currently. The Company does not discount the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is reported net of a receivable for salvage and subrogation of $8,033,000, $7,746,000 and $7,523,000 at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Participating Policy Contracts - Participating business represents approximately 13%, 14% and 13% of total premiums in force at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Participating business is composed entirely of workers' compensation policies. The amount of dividends to be paid on these policies is determined based on the provisions of the individual policies. Dividend expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, was $2,579,000, $2,414,000 and $2,966,000, respectively. 50 2.

3. REINSURANCE ACTIVITY The Company limits the maximum net loss which can arise from large risks or risks in concentrated areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risks with other insurers, either on an automatic basis or under general reinsurance contracts known as "treaties" or by negotiation on substantial individual risks. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. In the event that reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations under the agreements, the Company would continue to have primary liability to policyholders for losses incurred. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and evaluates concentrations of credit risk when determining reinsurance placements. At December 31, 1994 reinsurance receivables of $28,674,000 and prepaid reinsurance premiums of $2,014,000 were associated with a single reinsurer. The Company has never suffered a significant loss due to reinsurers being unable to meet their obligations. 54 The following tables summarize amounts related to reinsurance assumed and ceded as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 and for the years then ended, respectively.

55 In December 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts." The statement establishes the conditions required for a contract to be accounted for as reinsurance and prescribes accounting and reporting standards for those contracts. The Company adopted SFAS No. 113 on January 1, 1993. Prior to the adoption of the new statement, assets and liabilities were reported net of the effects of reinsurance. Subsequent to the adoption of the new statement, ceded reinsurance balances due from unaffiliated insurers are reported separately as assets. Ceded reinsurance balances due from affiliated insurers continue to be reported in liabilities. As permitted by the statement, prior period financial statements have been restated. 4. UNPAID LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending reserve balances for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, on a gross of reinsurance basis, to the gross amounts reported in the Company's Statement of Consolidated Net Assets.
(Dollars in Thousands) 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Liability for losses and LAE, gross of reinsurance recoverables, at beginning of year $297,553 $284,309 $276,251 Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE, at beginning of year 26,644 18,352 16,975 --------- --------- -------- Liability for losses and LAE, net of reinsurance recoverables, at beginning of year 270,909 265,957 259,276 -------- --------- -------- Add: Provision for unpaid losses and LAE for claims occurring in the current year, net of reinsurance 169,406 171,834 185,225 Increase in estimated losses and LAE for claims occurring in prior years, net of reinsurance 455 5,294 10,852 --------- --------- -------- Incurred losses and LAE during the current year, net of reinsurance 169,861 177,128 196,077 --------- --------- -------- Deduct losses and LAE payments for claims, net of reinsurance, occurring during: Current year 72,636 73,529 82,288 Prior years 96,832 98,647 107,108 --------- --------- -------- 169,468 172,176 189,396 --------- --------- -------- Liability for unpaid losses and LAE, net of reinsurance recoverables, at end of year 271,302 270,909 265,957 Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE, at end of year 37,121 26,644 18,352 --------- --------- -------- Liability for unpaid losses and LAE, gross of reinsurance recoverables, at end of year $308,423 $297,553 $284,309 ========= ========= =========
56 The preceding reconciliation shows that a deficiency of $455,000, $5,294,000 and $10,852,000 emerged in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, on prior accident year claims. These deficiencies resulted primarily from settling case basis reserves for private passenger auto liability established in prior years for amounts more than were expected. A portion of the increases in ultimate incurred losses and LAE for those years also pertains to charges for future unallocated loss adjustment expenses on claims already incurred. The Company's exposure to environmental and asbestos-related claims has generally involved insureds that are a peripheral defendant with de minimus exposure. In establishing the liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to environmental and asbestos claims, management considers facts currently known and the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Case reserves have been established when sufficient information has developed to indicate the involvement of a specific insurance policy. In addition, liabilities have been established to cover additional exposures on both known and unasserted claims, and costs related to litigation. The methodology for estimating incurred but not reported reserves is based on historical claim development information by line of business and accident year, without segregation of environmental and asbestos-related claim data. Estimates of the liabilities are reviewed and updated continually. 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Company has entered into a number of agreements or arrangements with affiliated companies in connection with intercompany services. The net amounts charged to operations during 1994, 1993 and 1992, were as follows:
(Dollars in Thousands) 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Service fees $ 21 $ 32 $ 29 Other 600 635 737 ------ ------ ------ $ 621 $ 667 $ 766 ====== ====== ======
The net amount due from affiliates at December 31, 1994 and 1993, which includes fees and assessments paid by the Company on behalf of affiliates, were $90,000 and $803,000, respectively. 6. INCOME TAXES Armco and the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) effective January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting. Armco accounted for the operating results of the AFSG - Companies to be Sold under the cost recovery method, whereby net income is not recognized until realized through a sale of the business, while net losses are charged against income as incurred. These businesses are now presented as discontinued operations with a portion of the consolidated Armco federal tax provision/benefit being allocated to the Company in accordance with the intraperiod tax allocation provisions of SFAS No. 109. In 1994, Armco's total federal income tax benefit was allocated to its continuing operations because it related primarily to changes in circumstances that caused a change in judgment about the realization of deferred tax assets in future years. In 1993, because Armco was in a consolidated net operating loss position for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes, no federal income tax provision or benefit was allocated to the Company. Because Armco accounts for the Company as an investment which it intends to sell, the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 and the deferred federal tax assets and liabilities applicable to the Company are recorded on the books of Armco, rather than by the Company. 57 The Company and its subsidiaries file state income tax returns in several states on both a separate company and combined basis. A provision (benefit) of $52,000, $223,000 and $(166,000) is reported in the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The entire 1994 provision represents a current year state income tax provision of $52,000. The 1993 provision includes a current year state income tax provision of $224,000 and adjustments to prior years state income taxes of $(1,000). The 1992 benefit includes a current year state income tax provision of $27,000 and a refund from prior year state income taxes of $(193,000). 7. PENSION, PROFIT SHARING AND BENEFIT PLANS Armco sponsors a separate noncontributory, trusteed retirement plan covering substantially all of the Company's employees. Pension costs relating to this retirement plan are computed based on accepted actuarial methods. It is the Company's policy to fund pension costs as they accrue, but, in no event at less than the amount required by, nor more than the maximum amount allowable under, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The following table sets forth the retirement plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992:
(Dollars in Thousands) 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $28,076 for 1994, $28,833 for 1993 and $23,148 for 1992 $ 29,134 $ 29,592 $ 23,498 ========= ========= ========= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(30,464) $(31,761) $(26,474) Plan assets at market value 33,967 36,412 33,520 --------- --------- --------- Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation 3,503 4,651 7,046 Unrecognized net (gain) loss 1,209 532 (1,754) Unrecognized net asset at December 31, being amortized over 15 years (2,191) (2,504) (2,817) Unrecognized prior service cost 22 31 39 --------- --------- --------- Prepaid pension cost $ 2,543 $ 2,710 $ 2,514 ========= ========= ========= Net periodic pension benefit for 1994, 1993 and 1992 included the following components: Service cost -- benefits earned during the period $ 1,004 $ 825 $ 792 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 2,391 2,141 2,030 Actual return on plan assets 492 (4,735) (1,894) Net amortization and deferral (3,720) 1,573 (1,259) --------- --------- --------- Net periodic pension expense (benefit) $ 167 $ (196) $ (331) ========= ========= =========
58 The following assumptions were used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Settlement rate 8.50% 7.25% 8.00% Increase in future compensation levels 4.00% 4.00% 5.00% Long-term rate of return on assets 9.50% 8.25% 8.75%
The Company, along with other affiliates, has a benefit plan which provides medical and dental benefits for eligible retired employees. Substantially, all employees become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. These benefits are funded as claims are paid. In December 1990, the FASB issued SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The standard requires the accrual of expense for these benefits during the years the employee is actively employed. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106 on January 1, 1993. The cumulative effect of the accounting change resulted in a decrease in 1993 income of $14,000,000. The following table sets forth the benefit plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the balance sheets of the companies participating in the plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
(Dollars in thousands) 1994 1993 -------- -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $11,914 $12,789 Fully eligible active plan participants 714 876 Other active plan participants 7,400 7,637 -------- -------- Total 20,028 21,302 Plan assets at fair value - - -------- -------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in excess of plan assets $20,028 $21,302 Unrecognized transition obligation - - Unrecognized prior service cost - - Unrecognized gain (loss) 1,300 (937) -------- -------- Accrued postretirement benefit liability $21,328 $20,365 ======== ========
The accrued postretirement benefit liability applicable solely to the Company was $16,081,000 and $14,633,000 as of December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. Net postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993 includes the following components: Service cost $ 793 $ 154 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 1,191 1,492 Actual return on plan assets - - Net amortization and deferral - - -------- -------- Net periodic postretirement benefit cost 1,984 1,646 Recognition of transition obligation - 14,000 -------- -------- Net postretirement benefit cost $ 1,984 $15,646 ======== ========
Net postretirement benefit cost applicable solely to the Company for the years ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $1,912,000 and $15,174,000, respectively. 59 The following table sets forth key assumptions used in reporting year-end disclosures.
1994 1993 ------------------------- ------------------------- Non-Medicare Medicare Non-Medicare Medicare Eligible Eligible Eligible Eligible Participants Participants Participants Participants ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Annual increase in per capita cost of covered benefits (*) 11.50% 11.50% 11.25% 8.25% Ultimate annual increase in per capita cost of covered benefits 6.50% 6.50% 5.25% 5.25% Weighted average discount rate used in calculation of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 8.50% 8.50% 7.25% 7.25% (*) The rate is assumed to decrease 1.0% per year until it reaches the ultimate rate and remains level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the plan's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by $2,228,000, and the aggregate service cost and interest cost components of the plan's net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year by $372,000. The Company also has a noncontributory, trusteed profit sharing plan. Annual contributions to the plan (limited to a maximum of 15% of participating salaries) are based upon operating results of the Company. No expense was recorded for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The Company provides medical, dental and life insurance benefits to eligible participants on long-term disability, at no cost to the participant. Prior to 1993, the Company expensed these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. In December 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires recognition of an employer's obligation to provide benefits to former and inactive employees after employment but before retirement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 112 in 1993. The cumulative effect of the accounting change, reported on the Statement of Consolidated Operations as a component of other expenses, resulted in a decrease in 1993 income of $715,000. The liability for postemployment benefits at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $686,000 and $715,000, respectively. 8. NOTE PAYABLE As partial financing of the acquisition of SICO, the Company entered into a $14,000,000 term loan agreement with a local bank in 1990. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company was required to make principal payments of $700,000 at each quarter end. On March 31, 1994, the Company made a principal payment of $700,000. On April 18, 1994, the outstanding balance of $2,100,000 was repaid in full. 60 9. NET ASSETS NNHC depends on dividends from its subsidiaries to service debt and pay expenses. The payment of shareholder dividends by insurance companies without the prior approval of the state insurance regulators is limited to formula amounts based on net investment income, and capital and surplus determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles. At December 31, 1994, approximately $2.1 million of dividends are available without prior regulatory approval. On April 25, 1994, NNHC contributed to NNCC all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SICO, Inc. and its subsidiaries. NNCC paid dividends to NNHC of $795,000, $3,170,000 and $3,896,500 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. In accordance with the terms of an order dated April 10, 1985 of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California (the Commissioner), PNIC may not pay any dividend or other distribution unless the dividend is approved by the Commissioner. PNIC received approval for and paid dividends to NNHC of $1,000,000 during the year ended December 31, 1992. SICO paid dividends to NNHC of $2,110,000 during the year ended December 31, 1994 and $1,500,000 during the year ended December 31, 1992. The Company prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by domiciliary insurance departments. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The following information has been prepared on the basis of prescribed statutory accounting principles which differ from GAAP. The principal differences relate to deferred acquisition costs and assets not admitted for statutory reporting.

10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. In developing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses available market quotes and data, provided by external pricing services, as well as valuation methodologies where appropriate. As considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data and performing valuation methodologies, the fair value estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company might pay or receive in actual current market transactions. Furthermore, as a number of the Company's significant assets and liabilities are excluded from the provisions of SFAS No. 107, the disclosures below do not reflect the Company's statement of net assets on a fair value basis, nor the fair value of the Company as a whole. 61
(Dollars in thousands) December 31, 1994 December 31, 1993 -------------------- -------------------- Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value -------- --------- -------- --------- Financial Assets: Fixed maturity investments $356,715 $353,543 $417,926 $418,728 Equity securities - - 1 1 Cash and cash equivalents 43,749 43,749 22,779 22,779 Accrued investment income 5,703 5,703 5,988 5,988 Premium balances receivable 55,074 55,074 53,707 53,707 Financial Liabilities: Other liabilities 10,813 10,813 9,234 9,234 Note payable - - 2,800 2,800
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Financial Assets Fair values for fixed maturity investments are based on quoted market prices. Equity securities are valued based on quoted market prices. Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months; carrying value approximates fair value. Accrued investment income is valued at carrying value as it is short-term in nature. Insurance premium balances receivable are generally collected on a monthly basis. Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value approximates fair value. Financial Liabilities The Company's insurance reserves are specifically excluded from the provisions of SFAS No. 107. Other financial liabilities are valued at their carrying value due to their short-term nature. As permitted under SFAS No. 107, other financial liabilities exclude postretirement and postemployment benefit obligations for purposes of this disclosure. The fair value of the Company's note payable is based on current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. 62 11. COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain office facilities and equipment under operating leases. Minimum rental commitments under noncancelable leases are as follows:
(Dollars in Thousands) 1995 2,933 1996 2,119 1997 1,774 1998 376 1999 216 Thereafter 58 ------ $7,476 ======
Total rental expense was $2,541,000, $2,512,000 and $2,291,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 12. LITIGATION The Company is involved in various lawsuits that have arisen from the normal conduct of business. These proceedings are handled by corporate and outside counsel. It is the opinion of management that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity; however, it is possible that due to fluctuations in the Company's results, future developments with respect to changes in the ultimate liability could have a material effect on future interim or annual results of operations. 13. PENDING TRANSACTION On August 2, 1994, Armco entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell the Company to Vik Brothers Insurance, Inc., a privately held, Raleigh, North Carolina based property and casualty insurance holding company. The sale is expected to close by April 7, 1995. In connection with the transaction, Vik would pay approximately $65 million at closing, and approximately $15 million, in three years, reduced by a potential adjustment for adverse experience in insurance reserves. 63 ARMCO FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP - COMPANIES TO BE SOLD SCHEDULE I Summary of Investments - Other than Investments in Related Parties As of December 31, 1994 (Dollars in thousands)

As partial financing of the acquisition of SICO, the Company entered into a $14,000,000 term loan agreement with a local bank in 1990. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company was required to make principal payments of $700,000 on March 31 and each quarter end thereafter until repaid in full. On March 31, 1994, the Company made a principal payment of $700,000. On April 18, 1994, the outstanding balance of $2,100,000 was repaid in full. 3. NNHC depends on dividends from its subsidiaries to service debt and pay expenses. The payment of shareholder dividends by insurance companies without the prior approval of the state insurance regulators is limited to formula amounts based on net investment income, and capital and surplus determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles. At December 31, 1994, approximately $2.1 million of dividends are available without prior regulatory approval. On April 25, 1994, NNHC contributed to NNCC all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SICO, Inc. and its subsidiaries. NNCC paid dividends to NNHC of $795,000 , $3,170,000 and $3,896,500 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. In accordance with the terms of an order dated April 10, 1985 of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California (the Commissioner), PNIC may not pay any dividend or other distribution unless the dividend is approved by the Commissioner.

71 ARMCO FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP - COMPANIES TO BE SOLD Disclosure of Certain Data on Loss and Loss Expense Reserves The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on past experience, for losses incurred but not reported. Such liability is necessarily based on estimates and, while management believes that the amount is fairly stated, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in earnings currently. The Company does not discount the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. AFSG - Companies to be sold estimates losses for reported claims on an individual case basis. Case reserves are based on experience with a particular type of risk and the available information surrounding each individual claim. Case reserves are reviewed on a regular basis. As additional facts become available, the case reserves are adjusted as necessary. The stability of the case reserving process is monitored through comparison with ultimate settlement. The estimates of losses for incurred but not reported claims (IBNR), as well as additive reserves for reported claims, are developed primarily from an analysis of historical patterns of the development of paid and incurred losses (dollars and claim counts) by accident year for each line of business. Salvage and subrogation estimates are developed from patterns of actual recoveries. Allocated loss adjustment expense reserves are developed from an analysis of historical patterns of the development of paid allocated loss adjustment expenses to incurred losses, by accident year, for each line of business. These historical patterns are then applied to projected ultimate losses for each line of business. Unallocated loss adjustment expense reserves are developed utilizing a cost accounting system. The cost accounting system is based on historical costs modified for anticipated changes in operations and selections of alternative costs. In December 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration contracts." The statement establishes the conditions required for a contract to be accounted for as reinsurance and prescribes accounting and reporting standards for those contracts. The Company adopted SFAS No. 113 in 1993. Prior to the adoption of the new statement, assets and liabilities were reported net of the effects of reinsurance. Subsequent to the adoption of the new statement, ceded reinsurance balances due from unaffiliated insurers are reported separately as assets. Ceded reinsurance balances due from affiliated insurers continue to be reported in liabilities. As permitted by the statement, prior period financial statements have been restated. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are stated at management's estimate of the ultimate cost of settling all incurred but unpaid claims. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are not discounted. 72 EX-10.A 2 EX-10.A EXHIBIT INDEX The following is an index of the exhibits included in the Form 10-K Annual Report. 3(a).

(14) Incorporated by reference from Exhibit 10 to Armco's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1994. (15) Incorporated by reference from Exhibit 2 to Armco's Form 8-K dated March 14, 1995. Exhibit 10(a) ARMCO INC. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS 1. Name and Purpose This Plan shall be known as the Armco Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors ("Plan"). This Plan is established by Armco Inc. ("Armco") to provide any member of the Board of Directors of Armco who is not an employee of Armco or any subsidiary of Armco ("Eligible Director") with an opportunity to defer compensation to be earned as a Director. 2. Term The Plan shall be effective on October 1, 1981 and shall remain in effect until terminated by action of those members of the Board of Directors of Armco who are not Eligible Directors ("Disinterested Directors"). 3. Participants Any Eligible Director shall become a Participant upon filing an Election to defer a Director's Fee in the manner hereinafter provided. 4. Director's Fee For all purposes of this Plan, any compensation for services rendered as a Director or as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors which would normally be paid during any month in the ordinary course of business shall be aggregated hereunder and shall be referred to as a "Director's Fee." 5. Election to Defer An Eligible Director may elect during any month to defer the payment of all or any specified portion of any subsequent month's Director's Fee by delivering to the Secretary a written election form, signed by the Eligible Director, in the form of Election to Defer attached as Exhibit A or in such other form as the Disinterested Directors may from time to time approve ("Election"). 6. Effect of Election to Defer Each Election shall be effective with respect to the Director's Fee for any month following the month in which the Election is delivered to the Secretary. Each Election shall continue in full force and effect until the first to occur of the first day of the month next following the date the Election expires by its terms, the date the Election is canceled by a written notice delivered to the Secretary, the date a new Election is filed, the date the Participant ceases to an Eligible Director or the date of termination of an Election shall have no effect on any Director's right to receive payment of a Director's Fee deferred while such Election was in effect. 7. Deferred Director's Fee Account There shall be established for each Participant one or more hypothetical Deferred Director's Fee accounts ("Account") which shall be maintained for accounting purposes only and to which any Deferred Director's Fee and any hypothetical earnings thereon shall be credited 1 and accounted for. The Director's Fee for any month for which the Election is in effect shall be credited to the Participant's Account as of the first day of the month following the month for which it is deferred. (a) Interest Option: Unless the Participant otherwise directs in his Election, the balance in the Participant's Account will be hypothetically invested at an interest rate equal to the 90-day Treasury bill rate in effect on the first day of each quarter. Interest will be credited at the end of each quarter. Director's Fees credited to the Account during a quarter will be deemed to earn interest at the rate in effect at the beginning of each quarter, with interest commencing on the first day of the month on which the Director's Fee is credited to the Account. (b) Stock Equivalent Option: Any Participant may, in his Election, direct that all or a specified portion of each Deferred Director's Fee be hypothetically invested in Armco's Common Stock (rounded to the nearest 1/1000th of a share) at the average of the highest and lowest price per share reported on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the day as of which the Director's Fee is credited to the Account or, if no transactions are reported for such day, the first business day immediately following such date for which transactions in Armco's Common Stock are reported ("Stock Equivalents"). The Participant's Account shall also be credited with such dividends as would have been paid if the Stock Equivalents credited to such Account had been held in Armco Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Such hypothetical dividends shall be accounted for as additional Stock Equivalents at the average of the highest and lowest price per share reported on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions on the first business day immediately following the dividend payment date for which transactions in Armco's Common Stock are reported. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number of Stock Equivalents in any Account to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other recapitalization affecting Armco's Common Stock. Once a Deferred Director's Fee is hypothetically invested under either the Interest Option or the Stock Equivalent Option described above, such hypothetical investment shall be deemed to continue until distribution is made to the Participant. 8. Accounting and Reporting Each Participant's Account will be valued as of the last day of any month and shall be reported to the Participant not less often than annually. 9. Payment The value of a Participant's Account shall be paid in cash in a lump sum or in annual installments as the Participant may have directed upon filing his most recent Election. In the absence of such a direction, payment shall be made in lump sum at such time as the Disinterested Directors shall determine but not before the date of the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Director not later than the close of the year following the year in which the Director ceases to be an Eligible Director. Annual installments over a period not to exceed five years may be elected in which case the amount of each payment shall be that fraction of the value of the Participant's Account determined by multiplying the value of the Participant's Account as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which payment is to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the total number of installments then remaining to be paid. 2 10. Designated Beneficiary A Director may designate, in the form of Designation of Beneficiary attached as Exhibit B or in such other form as the Disinterested Directors may approve, the person or persons, trust or trusts or other entity to whom the balance of any Participant's Account is to be paid if the Participant dies before receiving payment of all amounts credited to such Account. A beneficiary designation will be effective only after the signed designation is delivered to the Secretary while the Director is alive and will cancel and supersede all beneficiary designations signed and filed earlier. If the Director fails to designate a beneficiary as provided above, or if all designated beneficiaries of the Director predecease the Director or if each surviving designated beneficiary is legally prohibited to take, the remaining unpaid amount shall be paid in one lump sum to the legal representative of the estate of the Director. 11. Participant's Rights Unsecured The right of any Participant to receive any sum under the provisions of the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of Armco. 12. Nonassignability The right of a Participant to the payment of any portion of his Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation. Any such anticipation shall immediately void any right to any sum the Participant may have had hereunder and any such sum shall thereafter be paid to such person on behalf of such Participant as the Disinterested Directors shall determine. Any such payment shall fully satisfy Armco's obligations to such Participant under this Plan. 13. Withholding Taxes Armco shall cause to be deducted from the amount of any payment under the Plan, any taxes lawfully required to be withheld by any federal, state or local government. 14. Amendment, Modification or Termination of the Plan The Disinterested Directors shall take any action authorized to be taken by them hereunder by unanimous written consent or by a vote of the majority of such Directors, and may, at any time, or from time to time, terminate, amend or modify the Plan. No such action shall entitle any Participant to a distribution or accelerate in any way a Participant's right to receive a distribution of his Account except as may be expressly provided by the Disinterested Directors at the time such action is taken. 15. Governing Law The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 3 Exhibit A ARMCO INC.

Year-to-year results are not directly comparable due to the divestiture of certain businesses in 1992, 1993 and 1994 and to the acquisition of Cyclops Industries, Inc. (Cyclops) on April 24, 1992. [Two pie charts] Titled: ARMCO INC.-CONSOLIDATED 1994 SALES % BY MARKETS Automotive 31% Industrial & Electrical 28% Service Centers 15% Construction 8% Appliance, Utensils & Cutlery 2% Other 16% % BY PRODUCTS Sheet & Strip 66%* Pipe & Tubing 13% Semi-Finished 5% Plate 4% Construction Products 2% Other 10% *Includes stainless, electrical and carbon steels Special Charges/Divestments During 1994, Armco recognized a $20.0 special charge related to its decision to idle and restructure its Mansfield and Dover, Ohio plants. Until March 1994, Armco planned to operate these facilities while installing a new thin- slab continuous caster. In that month, a blooming mill motor in Mansfield failed, crippling the production capability of both plants. Armco decided, based on its estimate of the time it would take to repair the equipment and resume production, and the forecast of continued losses being generated by the two operations, that it would keep the plants idle until the start-up of the thin-slab caster, scheduled for early in the second quarter of 1995. The special charge consisted of $13.5 for employee benefits, primarily group insurance and supplemental unemployment benefits; and $6.5 to writedown inventories and fixed assets. During 1994, employee benefit payments totaling $7.5 were made with an additional $2.5 expected in the first quarter of 1995. The remaining liability primarily relates to longer-term employee benefits. To begin rebuilding its customer base, the Dover plant resumed limited production in early 1995. It is purchasing cold rolled steel which had not been previously available because of tight market conditions. Eastern Stainless Corporation (Eastern Stainless) has been faced with a decline in market demand and selling prices for certain of its products, increased production costs and intense competition from both foreign and domestic sources. As a result, it has experienced substantial losses during the last three years while sales volume continued to fall. In the third quarter of 1994, Eastern Stainless decided to sell substantially all of its assets to Avesta Sheffield Holding Company (Avesta Sheffield), for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. In the third quarter of 1994, Armco recognized a $15.0 special charge related to the Eastern Stainless decision. Any cash received on the sale will be used by Eastern Stainless to satisfy normal operating and employee benefit obligations not assumed by Avesta Sheffield. The net liabilities not assumed by Avesta Sheffield or satisfied by the sale proceeds will be retained by Armco. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, most of these liabilities, totaling approximately $50.0 and $40.0, respectively, were recorded on Armco's Statement of Consolidated Financial Position, primarily in Long-term employee benefit obligations. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, scheduled for March 14, 1995, Eastern Stainless will have no assets remaining as a corporate legal entity and will be dissolved without any shareholder distribution. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by the Eastern Stainless shareholders. Since Armco owns approximately 84% of the voting stock of Eastern Stainless and intends to vote in favor of the proposed transaction, approval by the shareholders is assured. Of the total charge of $15.0, $9.0 relates to employee benefit obligations, and $3.2, $1.8 and $1.0 relate to losses through the date of disposal, writedown of assets, and transaction fees and expenses, respectively. While no significant payments have been made related to these amounts, $2.4 of the reserve for losses was used in 1994. Also in 1994, Armco signed a definitive agreement to sell the Armco Financial Services Group (AFSG) companies to be sold. Armco had previously signed a letter of intent to sell these businesses and, in 1993, recorded a charge of $45.0 to write down its investment in the companies to be sold to its revised estimate of net realizable value. Armco also announced the completion of an initial public offering and recapitalization of Armco Steel Company, L.P. (ASC), its carbon steel joint venture with Kawasaki Steel Corporation. 12 ARMCO INC. [Photograph of Pete Leemputte appears here] "We continued to take aggressive action to realign our internal cost structure. Our success is evident. Selling and administrative expenses in 1994 accounted for 6.7% of each sales dollar, down substantially from 8.2% in 1992. One of our most important actions was developing new salaried retirement and medical programs. Contributions to salaried retirement plans will now be tied more closely to company performance, helping to prevent steep increases in future legacy costs." --Pete Leemputte, Vice President and Controller As a result of the sale of its interest in the joint venture to a newly formed company named AK Steel Holding Corporation (AK Steel), Armco recognized a pretax gain of $36.5, and was able to recognize a $30.0 tax benefit related to its deferred tax asset position. In the third quarter of 1994, Armco sold 90% of its investment in North American Stainless (NAS) for $73.0 in cash, recognizing a $26.1 gain. Armco's decision to sell most of its interest in this previously 50%-owned partnership reflected Armco's desire to use its resources to fund the capital needs of its core businesses as opposed to investing additional capital in the joint venture's capacity expansion program. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Armco sold its metal deck business for a small gain and completed the divestiture of a tubing plant and conversion businesses, which, in 1993, had been identified for disposal. In 1993, consistent with its strategy to focus on the production of specialty flat-rolled steel, Armco sold its Worldwide Grinding Systems segment, its Brazilian sheet and strip operations, a welded tubing operation and a portion of its nonresidential construction business. Armco also announced plans to dispose of certain other businesses in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment and signed a letter of intent to sell the AFSG companies to be sold. In conjunction with the plans for disposal of these businesses, Armco recorded charges totaling $250.5 in 1993, which included special charges of $165.5 reflected in the operating losses of the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment, a $45.0 charge for expenses and losses associated with the proposed sale of the AFSG companies to be sold and $40.0 as a loss on the disposal of the Worldwide Grinding Systems segment. The total charges included $128.1 for the excess of carrying value of net assets over anticipated proceeds on disposal, $72.6 for employee benefit costs, and $28.1 for estimated losses through the dates of disposal. Other components of the charges were expenses related to provisions for legal and environmental matters and recognition of previously deferred foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by pension curtailment gains. Most of the charges were either non-cash or will be paid over a long period. The employee benefit charges primarily relate to long-term retirement benefits that will be paid over many years. The reserve for future losses was, for the most part, utilized during 1994 and a small remainder of the miscellaneous reserves is held for final settlement of transaction fees, property maintenance and outstanding tax issues. In conjunction with Armco's decision to dispose of certain businesses in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment after September 30, 1993, Armco stopped recording, as a component of continuing operations, the sales, costs and expenses of these businesses. At December 31, 1994, only two small businesses have not been divested. All results for the Worldwide Grinding Systems businesses and the AFSG companies to be sold are presented as discontinued operations. In 1992, Armco recorded special charges, totaling $185.1, associated with a series of restructuring actions undertaken to reduce costs, improve profitability and strengthen Armco's competitive position. The total special charge of $185.1 included $114.0 for employee benefit costs and $39.9 for continuing losses and excess carrying value of net assets over the anticipated proceeds on disposal, with the remainder primarily for provisions for legal and environmental matters and the recognition of previously deferred foreign currency translation adjustments. These restructuring actions have been completed except for the payment of retirement benefits, which will occur over a period of many years. (See discussions in "Business Segment Results," "Discontinued Operations," and "Equity Companies," below.) Adoption of Major Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 1993, Armco recorded a charge of $440.0, or $4.24 per share, net of taxes, for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (SFAS No. 106). This accounting standard requires the accrual of expense for postretirement benefits during the years an employee is actively employed, rather than the former practice of expensing the benefits on an as-incurred basis when the participant is retired. Also effective January 1, 1993, Armco recorded a cumulative effect credit of $135.6, or $1.31 per share, excluding the tax benefit related to the adoption of SFAS No. 106, for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 109, Armco has recorded, at December 31, 1994, a deferred tax asset of $328.5, net of a valuation allowance of $701.3. The ultimate realization of this asset depends on Armco's ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. As of December 31, 1994, Armco had capital and net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $1,174.3, expiring between 1998 and 2009, with almost 80% expiring after the year 2000. Even though Armco has incurred book and tax losses for three of the past four years, management believes that it is more likely than not that it will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the recognized portion of the tax benefit associated with future deductible temporary differences and NOL and tax credit carryforwards prior to their expiration. This belief is based upon, among other factors, changes in operations that have occurred during the past three years, as well as consideration of available tax planning strategies. Specifically, cost savings associated with Armco's acquisition of Cyclops and capital investments are being realized, and are anticipated to continue to improve operating results. Business restructurings undertaken in the last three years ARMCO INC. 13 included the sale of non-strategic units, some of which have been unprofitable. In addition, Armco expects to begin to recognize the operational benefits of the new thin-slab caster in Mansfield, Ohio and the recently announced $95.0 capital improvement program in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Armco has operated in a highly cyclical industry and consequently has had a history of generating and then utilizing significant amounts of NOL carryforwards. During the years 1987-1989, Armco utilized approximately $350.0 of NOL carryforwards. Management believes that the valuation allowance noted above is appropriate given the current projections of taxable income. If Armco is unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future through operating results, increases in the valuation allowance will be required through a charge to expense. However, if Armco achieves sufficient profitability to utilize a greater portion of the total deferred tax asset, the valuation allowance will be reduced through a credit to income. In 1993, Armco adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, recording an expense of $3.1 or $.03 per share for the cumulative effect of establishing additional liabilities for short-term and long-term disability plans.

The businesses that were sold or identified for divestment, and are therefore no longer consolidated, accounted for $189.4 of the sales reported in 1993, and sales from the Mansfield and Dover plants were $151.1 lower in 1994 than 1993 largely as a result of the idling. Partially offsetting these reductions was a 5% increase in net sales from the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel business segment and a significant increase from Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (Douglas Dynamics), Armco's snowplow and light truck equipment manufacturing subsidiary. Operating profit in 1994 improved over 1993 as a result of lower special charges, as well as strong performances from the Butler, Pennsylvania and Coshocton and Zanesville, Ohio plants of the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment and Douglas Dynamics. Partially offsetting these improvements were deteriorating results at Sawhill Tubular, losses of $85.5 at the idled plants and a $4.5 charge to increase environmental and litigation reserves. In 1994, income from continuing operations reflected the improvement in operating profit and pretax gains of $36.5 for the initial public offering and recapitalization of ASC, and $26.1 for the sale of 90% of Armco's equity investment in NAS. Equity in income (loss) from equity companies was $15.3 of income in 1994 compared to a $43.7 loss in 1993 as a result of improved performance by National-Oilwell and NAS. In addition, after recording a loss of $27.9 in 1993, Armco stopped recognizing the results from its investment in ASC when, following several years of losses, Armco's investment in that joint venture was reduced to zero. (See "Equity Companies" below.) 1993 vs. 1992: Armco's net sales declined slightly because of the sale or the identification for divestment of a number of businesses in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment. The decline was almost entirely offset by improved sales in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment and Douglas Dynamics, as well as by the impact of a full year of results from the former Cyclops businesses. Operating losses declined because of improved performance in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment and at Douglas Dynamics, and because of a reduction in special charges. Special charges of $165.5, taken in the third quarter of 1993, were associated with the decision to dispose of a number of businesses within the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment. Excluding special charges, operating profit declined slightly in 1993 compared to 1992, as improvements in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment were more than offset by increased losses at the Mansfield and Dover plants, costs associated with the start-up of a new stretch mill at Sawhill Tubular, losses on certain contracts at a nonresidential construction company and approximately $29.3 of additional expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 106. The loss from continuing operations in 1993 compared to the prior year declined due to reduced special charges and reduced losses from equity investments. Armco's net loss from equity investments was $43.7 in 1993 compared to $255.5 in 1992. The reduction was primarily due to the fact that Armco stopped recording losses in ASC after Armco's investment in ASC was reduced to zero. Armco's net loss for 1993 included $14.9 of tax refunds and accrual reversals, compared to $52.1 in 1992. The net loss for 1993 was increased by the cumulative effect of the adoption of three new accounting standards, the net effect of which was a charge of $307.5 recorded in the first quarter. Outlook: Assuming the continuation of a strong domestic economy, Armco's results are expected to improve in 1995 compared to 1994 as a result of operational improvements in its Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment and the anticipated successful start-up of the new thin-slab caster in Mansfield. 14 ARMCO INC. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel Armco's Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel businesses produce and finish stainless and electrical steel sheet and strip at plants in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Coshocton and Zanesville, Ohio. Stainless steel plate products are finished at Eastern Stainless, Armco's 84%-owned subsidiary in Baltimore, Maryland, which Armco stopped consolidating as of September 30, 1994 in anticipation of the sale of its assets. The segment also includes the results of European trading companies which buy and sell steel and manufactured steel products. The Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment's results appear below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer sales $1,048.5 $1,001.5 $ 885.5 Special charges (15.0) -- (37.6) Operating profit 126.3 75.5 21.4 Shipments (tons 000s) 690 653 571 Raw steel production (tons 000s) 875 882 793 Capability utilization 102% 94% 84% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 vs. 1993: The Butler and Zanesville plants operated at full capacity in 1994, forcing limits on production of certain product lines. Armco benefited from the strong economy and success in a trade case, which limited imports of certain electrical steels in the year. Customer sales and tons shipped increased by 5% and 6%, respectively, in 1994 versus 1993, primarily reflecting increases in automotive chrome stainless, oriented electrical steel and stainless sheet and strip, partially offset by declines in chrome nickel stainless, non-oriented electrical and Eastern Stainless plate, as well as the elimination of Eastern Stainless sales from Armco's consolidated results beginning in the fourth quarter of the year. The reduction in non- oriented electrical steel was primarily due to capacity constraints. While prices across most product lines strengthened in 1994 compared to 1993, average sales dollars per ton was lower due to a change in product mix as automotive chrome and semi-finished product sales displaced sales of higher priced chrome nickel products. Beginning in 1993, chrome nickel finishing and sales moved from the Butler plant to NAS. [Two pie charts] Title: SPECIALTY FLAT-ROLLED STEEL SEGMENT-1994 SALES % BY MARKETS Automotive 41% Industrial & Electrical Equipment 36% Service Centers 9% Appliance, Utensils & Cutlery 3% Other 11% % BY PRODUCTS Sheet & Strip 85% Semi-Finished 7% Plate 5% Other 3% Operating profit increased 67% in 1994 versus 1993. Included in operating profit for 1994 is a $15.0 special charge related to a decision by Eastern Stainless to sell substantially all of its assets to a stainless steel plate manufacturer, Avesta Sheffield. Eastern Stainless had sales of $52.8 and an operating loss of $5.9 during the first nine months of 1994 after which, due to the decision to sell the assets of the business, Armco ceased to consolidate its results of operations. During 1994, the Butler melt facility continued to run at full capacity, as raw steel production totaled 875,000 tons, an increase of 8% over 1993 Butler production. Excluding the special charge, operating profit in 1994 increased to $205 per ton from $116 per ton in 1993. Improvements in yield and productivity and higher capacity utilization reduced the operating cost per ton, while the expected synergies between the melting and finishing facilities, which teamed up after the acquisition of Cyclops, were more fully realized. Although average price per ton was down slightly due to changes in product mix, overall improved pricing was realized across all major product lines in 1994. Excluding the special charge, operating profit in 1994 was 13% of sales, a five percentage point increase over the prior year. 1993 vs. 1992: The 13% increase in customer sales reflects a 14% increase in volume due to a full year of shipments from Coshocton and Eastern Stainless and increased demand for specialty steels, particularly from the automotive chrome markets. Average prices declined slightly reflecting a change in product mix as strong demand for automotive chrome and increased sales of chrome nickel semifinished product to NAS caused reduced shipments of higher priced, finished chrome nickel products. In addition, lower raw material costs and increased foreign imports, which rose 62%, 26% and 40% for stainless sheet and strip, stainless plate and electrical steels, respectively, during 1993 compared to 1992, put pressure on pricing. Exports declined to 4% of total tons shipped in 1993 from the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment compared to 6% in 1992, as Armco shifted some melting capacity from export markets to more profitable domestic markets. [Bar chart] Title: SPECIALTY FLAT-ROLLED STEEL* ON-TIME SHIPMENT PERFORMANCE 1992 71% 1993 86% 1994 92% Armco's overall on-time delivery performance rose from 86% in 1993 to 92% in 1994. For some products on-time deliveries exceeded 95%. *Excludes Eastern Stainless Corporation Operating profit increased because of improvements in operating practices and cost savings relating to synergies from the Cyclops acquisition, in addition to the absence of special charges such as those incurred in 1992. Operating profit excluding special charges was $116 per ton, or 8% of sales, in 1993 compared to $103 per ton, or 7% of sales, in 1992. In 1993, due to the adoption of SFAS No. 106, operating profit included approximately $20.1 of additional postretirement benefits expense over the previous, as-incurred basis. Were it not for that increase, the operating profit margins would have improved more significantly in the period-to-period comparisons. Key to Armco's strategy of acquiring Cyclops to enhance its role as a leading domestic producer of specialty flat-rolled steel, was supplying the steel feedstock for the former Cyclops stainless steel finishing facility in Coshocton, from Armco's world-class ARMCO INC. 15 melt shop in Butler, thereby increasing the utilization of the Butler facility and providing Coshocton with an improved source of supply. Raw steel production in this segment during 1992 and the first half of 1993 included output from the Eastern Stainless melt shop. However, as part of a plan to restructure its operations, Eastern Stainless closed its melt shop in July 1993, purchasing its feedstock needs, at lower cost, from Butler. In 1993, the steelmaking capability at the Butler plant increased to 850,000 tons per year from 750,000 tons per year in 1992, primarily as a result of improved operating practices. Production at the Butler plant increased 15% in 1993 compared to 1992, with the majority of the increase due to supplying feedstock to Coshocton, Eastern Stainless and NAS, and the balance due to increased demand for steel products by external customers. Outlook: Demand for specialty flat-rolled steel in 1995 is expected to remain strong, though a slightly slower growth rate is expected in 1995 than experienced in 1994. Automotive chrome stainless sheet is expected to continue to do well as automobile production levels appear to be up in the near term and the trend towards usage of more chrome stainless product in emission systems continues. However, demand for automobiles could soften later in the year due to higher interest rates. Demand for oriented electrical steel for distribution transformers and cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel for motors and generators is also expected to remain strong and import pressure on electrical steels should be lower as markets in Europe and Asia strengthen. The 1994 year-end backlog for all products is up 31% from the prior year end. A 5%-7% price increase on electrical steels, effective at the beginning of 1995, was announced in 1994. Price increases in other specialty sheet and strip markets have been announced and are scheduled to take effect in the first quarter of 1995. In addition, prices will be subject to surcharges, which are in effect for Armco products containing molybdenum, nickel and chrome. Armco expects to continue to compete as a low-cost, high-quality producer and to retain its position in the marketplace. [Photograph of John Bauer appears here] "Two years of hard work in the foreign trade area showed benefits for Armco in 1994. Electrical steel trade cases brought against foreign producers for sale of subsidized goods and for dumping into domestic markets were decided in our favor. The rulings have had a very positive effect on our electrical steel business." -- John Bauer, Director-Corporate Affairs The Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment will also benefit from the sale of Eastern Stainless, which not only eliminates the losses generated by this subsidiary, but releases some of Butler's capacity, used to supply Eastern Stainless' operation, to produce more value-added products for other Armco finishing facilities and external customers. Results for this segment should also be favorably affected by the start-up of the new thin-slab continuous caster in Mansfield, scheduled for early in the second quarter of 1995. The Mansfield operations, while currently reported in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment, will, in addition, melt and finish specialty steels, including automotive chrome, expanding Armco's currently constrained melt capacity. Sales of these specialty steel products will be reported in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel business segment. Production of specialty steel at Mansfield is expected to begin in the third quarter of 1995. [Photograph of Art Mellon appears here] "Engineering played a key part in the development of Armco's marketing and facilities plan. We helped evaluate each product and the equipment used to produce it and recommended the most economical ways to upgrade capacity. But the hard work isn't over. In 1995, while beginning construction on numerous projects, we also must plan for 1996 projects." -- Art Mellon, Vice President of Engineering and Technology, Steel Operation In the fourth quarter of 1994, Armco announced an expanded capital improvement program under which it will spend up to $95.0 over the next two years to upgrade and expand its specialty steel finishing facilities. The program is intended to reduce existing production constraints, increasing specialty steel finishing capacity by approximately 180,000 tons per year, particularly in electrical steels, specialty sheet and strip products, and non-automotive chrome stainless. About $60.0 of this total will be spent to upgrade existing equipment at the Butler, Coshocton, Mansfield and Zanesville plants. The remaining $35.0 of investment is targeted for proposed new pickling and box annealing facilities. In addition to increasing revenues as a result of expanded finishing capacity, the capital improvements are expected to provide quality improvements and significant annual cost savings. With respect to oriented electrical steel, in 1993 Armco and a domestic competitor, as well as several labor unions representing work forces at specialty steelmaking plants, filed countervailing and anti-dumping petitions against Italy. There was also an anti-dumping duty petition filed against Japan, in which Armco was not a filing party. In 1994, the Department of Commerce announced a countervailing duty margin of 24.42% and anti-dumping duties of 60.79% on imports of oriented electrical steel from Italy, and an anti-dumping duty of 31.08% against Japan. Primarily as a result of he imposition of these duties, imports of oriented electrical steel from these countries were severely curtailed during the latter half of 1994 and Armco was able to improve its position in the market and maintain firmer prices. The foreign producers have filed appeals with the court of international trade.

In recent years, consumption has grown at rates more than three times historical levels. Favorable economic indicators, combined with the low life cycle cost of stainless, bode well for continued strong demand. However, import penetration is at record levels and consumed a substantial part of 1994 market growth. 16 ARMCO INC. Other Steel and Fabricated Products At December 31, 1994, the Other Steel and Fabricated Products business segment included the shipments and production from Armco's carbon steel plants in Mansfield and Dover, Ohio, as well as the results of Sawhill Tubular and Douglas Dynamics, a snowplow and light truck equipment manufacturer. At various times during the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, the segment included other businesses which have since been divested or identified for divestment. During 1992 and 1993, Armco took actions to restructure and/or divest several businesses in this segment that did not represent a strategic fit or offer growth potential or generate positive cash flow, resulting in significant special charges in those years. The Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment's results appear below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer sales $ 389.1 $ 662.5 $ 787.7 Special charges (20.0) (165.5) (129.8) Operating loss (54.9) (183.5) (128.5) -----------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 vs. 1993: Net sales decreased by 41% in 1994 compared to 1993 primarily due to the absence, in 1994, of businesses that were sold or are no longer consolidated and the idling of operations at Mansfield and Dover. Those businesses sold or identified for divestment represented $189.4 in sales in the first nine months of 1993, before Armco stopped consolidating their results. In addition, primarily as a result of the temporary idling and restructuring of the steelmaking and finishing facilities in Mansfield and Dover, 1994 sales were down an additional $151.1 from last year. Excluding the no longer consolidated businesses from 1993 and adjusting for the reduced sales at the idled facilities, segment sales would have increased 21% in 1994 versus 1993. Record setting sales at Douglas Dynamics, including a significant increase in snowplow shipments in 1994, accounted for much of that sales increase. The 1994 Other Steel and Fabricated Products operating loss includes a special charge of $20.0 in connection with the idling and restructuring of the steelmaking and finishing facilities in this segment. Including the special charge, these facilities had a 1994 operating loss of $85.5. The Mansfield facility will be idled until completion of the new thin-slab continuous caster, scheduled for early in the second quarter of 1995. The Dover plant restarted operations on a limited basis in early 1995, purchasing cold rolled coils for galvanizing. During 1994, Sawhill Tubular continued to experience problems with the integration of the continuous weld process and the stretch reduction mill, which was brought on-line in 1993. Throughout most of 1994, lower than anticipated yields and quality problems, along with higher operating costs, caused a further deterioration in operating results, despite a 9% increase in sales. However, during the latter part of 1994 and into 1995, considerable improvement in operations was realized. The operating loss in 1993 included $165.5 of special charges to cover estimated losses and reserve requirements for the ultimate disposal of a number of businesses. Absent the special charges from 1994 and 1993, the increase in the operating loss for 1994 was primarily attributable to higher losses at the Mansfield and Dover operations. While higher than last year's losses, the losses generated by these steelmaking facilities in 1994 were lower than expected had the plants continued to operate during the installation of the thin-slab caster. Partially offsetting these losses was a significant increase in operating profit at Douglas Dynamics due to higher sales of snowplows as a result of near record snowfalls last winter, low customer inventory and continued strong demand for four-wheel drive vehicles. [Photograph of Fred O'Brien appears here] "In 1994, Armco management continued to meet with Wall Street analysts on a regular basis. We know that their perspective is positive for both the specialty steel industry in general and Armco's efforts to focus on its core business in particular. They are following our initiatives for 1995 very closely." -- Fred O'Brien, Assistant Treasurer and Director of Investor Relations. 1993 vs. 1992: Customer sales decreased by 16% in 1993 compared to 1992 primarily due to divestment and restructuring of businesses within the segment. Divestments that affect the comparison included Southwestern Ohio Steel (SOS) (sold in August 1992), Armco do Brasil (sold in September 1993), Miami Industries (sold in October 1993) and E. G. Smith (sold in February 1993). In addition, the results of other businesses identified for divestment are no longer recorded as a component of Armco's Statement of Consolidated Operations from the dates indicated. Those businesses included stainless bar, rod and wire (December 31, 1992), the conversion systems business (September 30, 1993), a nonresidential construction business (September 30, 1993) and a welded tubing operation (September 30, 1993). The decrease was partially offset by increased sales at Douglas Dynamics and by a full year of shipments from the Mansfield and Dover plants and Sawhill Tubular (all acquired as part of the Cyclops acquisition in April 1992). Operating profit, excluding special credits and charges, declined in 1993 primarily because of the divestiture of SOS and E.G. Smith, as well as the costs associated with the start-up of the stretch reduction mill at Sawhill Tubular, higher scrap prices for the steelmaking facilities and losses on certain contracts at the remaining nonresidential construction operation. These declines were partially offset by improvements at Douglas Dynamics and the elimination of losses due to the restructuring of the stainless bar, rod and wire businesses at the end of 1992. Outlook: The Mansfield and Dover operations are expected to incur operating losses through most of 1995. During early 1995, losses at Mansfield are expected to increase from the level experienced in late 1994 largely as a result of expenses related to the preparation for start-up of the thin-slab caster, including expenses to train employees on the new equipment. Even after the initial ARMCO INC. 17 start-up of the caster, and assuming the start-up proceeds as planned, these facilities are not expected to return to profitability until the fourth quarter of 1995. As discussed above, a portion of the recently announced capital expenditure program will be directed at upgrading equipment at Mansfield to improve its rolling, pickling and annealing operations. Though the new caster and the new capital expenditures program are intended to benefit Mansfield's specialty steelmaking capabilities, improvements in the carbon steel operations are also expected. [Bar chart] Title: PER PERSON CONSUMPTION OF STAINLESS STEEL IN U.S. VERSUS INTERNATIONAL MARKETS (Pounds per person in 1993) Japan 31 Germany 30 South Korea 28 Finland 27 Italy 24 U.S.A. 16 1994* 17 1995* 18 Source: SSINA *U.S.A. estimate Domestic consumption of stainless steel, which has lagged behind other industrialized nations, is expected to increase steadily in the years to come and increase demand for many Armco products. In June 1993, United Steelworkers of America (USWA) employees at the Mansfield and Dover plants ratified new, six-year contracts, which became effective September 1, 1993. These contracts provided for a 25% reduction in work force, a change in work rules that allow for a more efficient use of the new caster technology and an increase in employee health care cost sharing, partially offset by benefit and wage increases toward the end of the contracts. In the second half of 1994, the USWA employees and management at the two facilities reached local agreements, which provide for additional improvements in manning levels and work practices. These local initiatives should further enhance the ability of the Mansfield and Dover plants to be cost-competitive steel producers following the start-up of the caster. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Armco sold Bowman Metal Deck Products (Bowman). Bowman, with annual sales of approximately $30.0, is a producer of carbon steel roof, floor and bridge deck. Also in the fourth quarter, Armco sold tubing and conversion plants, whose results of operations had not been consolidated since September 1993. Douglas Dynamics' sales and earnings are expected to remain strong in 1995, driven by strong demand for four-wheel drive vehicles, distributors' need to replace inventory and sales of new products, including a line of truck- mounted salt and sand spreaders and a truck bed lift system. To help meet demand, Douglas Dynamics must outsource some of its production processes and has begun to use available production capacity at Armco's facility in Johnson City, Tennessee, for manufacturing certain snowplow parts. Armco has been reviewing the operations and prospects of Sawhill Tubular to determine how to return this business to profitability and how it fits into Armco's future. Armco is currently holding preliminary discussions for the potential sale of one of the three Sawhill Tubular plants, a small cold-drawn tubing facility. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Worldwide Grinding Systems
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Income from operations $ 14.2 $ 0.4 Loss on disposal of business (40.0) -- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of Armco's strategy to focus on its specialty steel businesses, Armco sold, on September 28, 1993, its Worldwide Grinding Systems' 50% interest in several wire drawing operations for $33.0 in cash to Leggett & Platt Incorporated, its partner in these joint ventures. On November 11, 1993, Armco completed the sale of the balance of its Worldwide Grinding Systems segment to an investment firm, Bain Capital, in partnership with members of the operations' management. In this latter transaction, Armco received approximately $75.0 after certain purchase price adjustments. The 1992 results included a special charge of $19.1 for closing a foundry and reducing work force. Armco's results for 1993 and 1992 present Worldwide Grinding Systems in discontinued operations. Armco Financial Services Group (AFSG) The Armco Financial Services Group consists primarily of insurance companies that Armco intends to sell and which continue underwriting policies (AFSG companies to be sold), and companies that have stopped writing new business and are being liquidated (runoff companies). Armco accounts for both of these businesses as discontinued operations and, as such, does not recognize, in its consolidated financial statements, their results of operations. AFSG Companies to be Sold Prior to December 31, 1993, Armco's investment in the AFSG companies to be sold was stated at an amount equal to Armco's estimate of its net realizable value. The net realizable value was based on an assumption that Armco would retain the AFSG companies to be sold until the insurance business had recovered from weak market conditions. In January 1994, after further evaluation of its various alternatives and even though the insurance market remained weak, Armco signed a letter of intent to sell the AFSG companies to be sold to Vik Brothers Insurance Inc. (Vik Brothers), a privately held, North Carolina-based property and casualty insurance holding company. On August 2, 1994, Armco and Vik Brothers signed a definitive agreement, subject to a number of conditions, including approvals by regulatory authorities. The sale is expected to close by March 31, 1995. Armco recorded a $45.0 charge in the fourth quarter of 1993 in connection with its decision to enter into this transaction. The charge was primarily taken to reduce Armco's investment in the AFSG companies to be sold to its estimated net realizable value of $73.9, based on the negotiated sale price. Under terms of the agreement, Armco will be paid approximately $65.0 at the closing and $15.0 in three years, subject to potential adjustment for adverse experience in certain insurance reserves. As a result of restructuring certain 18 ARMCO INC. obligations arising from a 1992 merger plan for the runoff companies, the proceeds from the sale have been pledged as security for certain note obligations due to the runoff insurance companies and will be retained in the investment portfolio of the AFSG runoff companies. The following sets forth the results of the AFSG companies to be sold for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Equity in income (loss) $ --(1) $ 10.4 $ (2.6) Deferred income --(1) (10.4) -- Cumulative effect of SFAS 106 -- (14.0) -- Premiums earned 216.3 227.7 239.9 Underwriting loss (35.9) (32.1) (46.2) Net investment income (including Realized gains (losses)) 29.4 43.7 44.1 Realized gains (losses) (0.5) 11.2 10.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)At December 31, 1993, Armco reduced its investment in these businesses to its estimated net realizable value based on the proposed transaction. As a result, effective January 1, 1994, Armco stopped recording the income or loss generated by the AFSG companies to be sold to the extent that such amounts do not impact the estimate of net realizable value. 1994 vs. 1993: In 1994, direct premiums written and premiums earned declined 4% and 5%, respectively, from 1993 levels. Soft market conditions, rationalization efforts, including agency management activities and tightening of underwriting guidelines, contributed to the lower premiums. Underwriting loss increased 12%, primarily due to an increase in incurred losses. A severe winter in the mideastern United States, and a number of unusually large commercial property losses were the primary causes for higher than anticipated incurred losses. The increase in interest rates lowered market values in the investment portfolio, causing Net investment income to drop $14.3, of which $11.7 was due to a decrease in net realized gains. 1993 vs. 1992: Operations for 1993 resulted in income before the cumulative effect of an accounting change, as losses and underwriting expenses were reduced. The adoption of SFAS 106 in the first quarter of 1993 resulted in a charge of $14.0. This charge reduced Armco's investment in the AFSG companies to be sold and was included in the total cumulative effect of accounting changes recorded by Armco. Prior to December 31, 1993, Armco accounted for these operations under the cost recovery method, whereby net income is not recognized until realized through a sale of the businesses, while net losses are charged against income as incurred. Direct premiums written and premiums earned declined due to a continuing soft market in business insurance, as well as the shutdown of the Southwest Region office as of January 1, 1993. Lower incurred losses, worker's compensation pool expenses and loss adjustment expenses resulted in reduced losses from underwriting. Net investment income, including realized gains, declined slightly on lower market interest rates. Liquidity and Financial Position: At December 31, 1994, the AFSG companies to be sold had total assets of $540.5, including cash and invested assets of $400.5. Cash and invested assets declined $40.2 from December 31, 1993, primarily as a result of a decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio. The decrease was due to rising interest rates. The investment portfolio of the AFSG companies to be sold consists primarily of investment grade bonds. Insurance premiums and interest are the companies' primary sources of cash. Operating activities used $3.7 in 1994 compared to $2.3 provided in 1993. The decrease in cash provided is primarily due to reduced premium collections of $12.9 and reduced interest received of $3.3, offset by a reduction in loss payments of $6.1 and reduced general underwriting expenses of $1.4. Investing activities provided $27.5 in 1994 compared to providing $11.4 in 1993. Financing activities used $2.8 in 1994 and 1993. Outlook: As discussed above, Armco has signed a definitive agreement to sell the AFSG companies to be sold. Finalization of the disposition is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by regulatory authorities. Armco expects that the transaction will close in March of 1995; however, if the proposed transaction is not consummated, Armco intends to seek another buyer and complete a sale of these businesses in 1995. Armco believes there are several interested buyers available. Armco expects results from the AFSG companies to be sold to improve in 1995. Due to a continued soft market, premiums written are expected to remain flat; however, incurred losses are expected to decrease. Overall, results are expected to improve through agency management activities, elimination of unprofitable classes of business, and reduced operating expenses resulting from previous reengineering of key underwriting and policy issuing functions. Runoff Companies The runoff insurance companies have not written any new business for retention except for an immaterial amount of guaranteed renewable accident and health business. The number of policyholders of this business has decreased from approximately 4,000 at December 31, 1986 to about 1,200 as of December 31, 1994. No charges have been recorded with respect to the runoff companies since the second quarter of 1990. Liquidity and Financial Resources: Claims are paid by using the investment portfolio of the runoff companies and the related investment income from such portfolio. The portfolio had a market value of $115.8 at December 31, 1994. The runoff companies believe the existing invested assets, related future income and other assets will provide sufficient funds to meet all future claims payments. The loss reserves of the runoff companies net of reinsurance recoverables decreased from $498.3 at December 31, 1986 to $125.2 at December 31, 1994. The runoff companies estimate that 60% of the claims will be paid in the next five years and that substantially all of the claims will be paid by the year 2017. The ultimate amount of the claims as well as the timing of the claims payments ARMCO INC. 19 are estimated based on an annual review of loss reserves performed by the runoff companies' independent and consulting actuaries. Outlook: Armco management continues to believe, based on current facts and circumstances and the views of outside counsel and advisors, that future charges, if any, resulting from the runoff companies will not be material to Armco's financial condition or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments could have a material effect on the results of one or more future interim or annual periods. EQUITY COMPANIES Armco's equity in the net income (loss) of equity companies in 1994, 1993 and 1992 is shown below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ National-Oilwell $ 9.8 $(11.0) $ (19.4) Armco Steel Company, L.P -- (27.9) (234.1) North American Stainless 0.1 (6.4) -- Other 5.4 1.6 (2.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $15.3 $(43.7) $(255.5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
National-Oilwell National-Oilwell is a general partnership joint venture equally owned by subsidiaries of Armco and USX Corporation. National-Oilwell sells oil field tubular pipe, and produces and sells drilling and production equipment and process pumps used in the world's oil and gas services industry. Armco does not consider National-Oilwell part of its core business and, therefore, continues to evaluate options with respect to its investment in this joint venture. 1994 vs. 1993: Included in the National-Oilwell equity income in 1994 were net gains of $6.4 on the disposal of assets, some of which were associated with businesses which National-Oilwell is exiting. In the first quarter of 1994, National-Oilwell completed the divestiture of its unprofitable wellhead business, for which Armco recognized a $5.0 charge against equity income in the fourth quarter of 1993. Despite the flat market in 1994, Armco's equity in the results of National-Oilwell, excluding special charges and credits, improved over 1993 primarily due to the restructuring actions taken during the last three years. During 1994, National-Oilwell paid Armco a $15.5 dividend. 1993 vs. 1992: Improvement in 1993 compared to 1992 was primarily the result of National-Oilwell's increased revenues and implementation of previously announced actions to restructure the company. Included in Armco's 1993 equity in the losses from National-Oilwell was $5.0, representing half of National-Oilwell's writedown of its wellhead business assets, which National- Oilwell sold in the first quarter of 1994. The 1992 equity in losses for National-Oilwell included a $3.3 charge for restructuring and rationalization. National-Oilwell maintains its own cash and credit lines and funds its own operations, liabilities and capital expenditures. National-Oilwell has worldwide credit facilities totaling approximately $50.0. The primary facility matures on March 22, 1995, and is expected to be replaced with a new agreement on or before that date. Outlook: National-Oilwell's forecast for 1995 assumes a flat oil field market but a significant increase in operating profit. The expected improvement is due to benefits expected from the rationalization and restructuring efforts undertaken over the last three years. Armco Steel Company, L.P. (ASC) ASC was an equally owned limited partnership, formed in 1989, between subsidiaries of Armco and Kawasaki Steel Corporation. Losses incurred by ASC in subsequent years through 1993 reduced Armco's investment to zero, after which Armco stopped recording its equity in profits or losses related to the operations of ASC. In 1993, Armco contributed $19.4 to ASC for hot strip mill improvements designed to enhance ASC's ability to roll certain gauges of chrome nickel stainless steel for Armco. 1993 vs. 1992: ASC's business improved dramatically in 1993, including a 14% increase in customer sales and improved operating performance due to continuing efforts to reduce costs, the move to 100% continuous casting, improved productivity, lower raw material contract prices, salaried work force reductions and the rationalization of less productive, higher cost operations. Net operating profit of $13.9 in 1993 versus a net operating loss of $499.3 in 1992, included special charges of $19.6 in 1993 and $379.3 in 1992. These charges were related to the restructuring efforts. In 1993 and 1992, ASC recorded net losses of $40.7 and $544.1, respectively. On April 7, 1994, ASC completed an initial public offering and recapitalization. As part of this transaction, the business and assets of ASC were transferred to AK Steel, a newly formed, publicly traded company. In exchange for its interest in ASC, Armco received 1,023,987 shares of AK Steel common stock, representing approximately four percent of the outstanding shares. Due to the level of ownership interest, Armco does not account for AK Steel under the equity method and, as a result, Armco's future results will not be affected by AK Steel's future net income or loss. In addition, Armco was released from certain obligations to make future cash payments to the former joint venture. The number of shares received and other terms of the restructuring and recapitalization were determined by arm's-length negotiations. As a result of this transaction, Armco recognized a nonrecurring pretax gain in 1994 of $36.5, primarily as a result of the release from certain obligations, discussed above, and recognition of deferred pension curtailment gains established at ASC's formation. At the same time, Armco reevaluated its deferred tax asset position in light of this transaction and concluded that the amount of deferred tax asset, for which realization of a future benefit is more likely than not, had increased by $30.0 In addition, should Armco decide to sell its shares in AK Steel, it would recognize a gain equal to the net proceeds received upon such sale. At December 31, 1994, the stock held by Armco had a market 20 ARMCO INC. value of $31.5. The market value of this stock was $26.1 as of January 31, 1995. AK Steel currently hot rolls stainless steel for Armco under a toll-rolling agreement, which is in effect through the year 2002. AK Steel continues to purchase stainless steel from Armco's Butler facility. North American Stainless (NAS) Armco and Acerinox S.A. of Spain each owned a 50% partnership interest in NAS through their respective subsidiaries, First Stainless, Inc. and Stainless Steel Invest, Inc. In the third quarter of 1994, Armco's subsidiary sold 90% of its 50% equity interest in NAS to its partner for $73.0 in cash and Armco recorded a $26.1 gain on the sale. Armco decided to sell most of its investment in NAS because NAS needed cash infusions from its partners to expand its operation, while Armco wanted to use its resources to support its core business operations. Through First Stainless, Inc., Armco maintains a 5% limited partnership interest in NAS. In connection with the transaction, Armco entered into an annual supply contract with NAS to provide the former joint venture with semi-finished stainless steel at market prices. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1994, Armco had $202.8 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $183.5 at December 31, 1993. In addition, at the end of 1994, Armco had $25.8 of short-term liquid investments. Armco held no short-term liquid investments at December 31, 1993. Net cash used for investing activities was $31.7, including $86.9 in capital expenditures, $16.0 used for businesses held for sale and $24.5 for the purchase of short-term liquid investments, partially offset by $109.3 in proceeds on the sale of assets and investments. The capital expenditure number excludes $9.3 financed by debt incurred directly for the construction of the thin-slab caster. Cash generated by operating activities was $74.0, including a $15.5 dividend from National- Oilwell, while financing activities used $23.7, primarily for preferred stock dividends and payment of debt. In addition to the cash on hand, Armco has a $170.0 revolving credit facility that expires on December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1994, $85.4 of the credit facility was used as support for letters of credit and $84.6 was available. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by certain of Armco's inventory and receivables. As amended in the fourth quarter of 1994, the credit agreement requires that Armco be in compliance with several covenants and meet certain ratio requirements. Based on its current financial condition and internal forecasts through the end of 1995, Armco believes that it will remain in compliance with all covenants. On June 30, 1994, Armco settled a lawsuit with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) related to the alleged underfunding of guaranteed benefits under Reserve Mining Company's pension plan. Reserve Mining was a Minnesota general partnership between a subsidiary of Armco and a subsidiary of LTV Corporation. Reserve Mining filed for reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on July 16, 1986. Under the settlement, on June 30, 1994, Armco paid $10.0 to the PBGC in connection with the Reserve Mining pension liability and, on July 15, 1994, made a $17.5 contribution to the Armco Inc. Pension Agreements Plan. The amount paid to the PBGC was accrued in a previous year and the $17.5 contribution was accrued in the normal course of recording pension liabilities. [Photograph of Jim Bertsch appears here] "We enter 1995 with a strong liquid position and no significant debt maturities until 1999. We should be in good shape to fund our capital programs, working capital needs and pension funding requirements from cash on hand, proceeds from the additional planned asset sales and our improving cash flow from operating earnings." -- Jim Bertsch, Vice President and Treasurer Armco anticipates that its capital expenditures for 1995 will be approximately $125.0, including approximately $43.0 of the $95.0 expanded capital improvement program, discussed above in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel section, and approximately $50.0 for expenditures to complete the thin- slab caster project at the Mansfield, Ohio plant, which was discussed above in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products section and the remainder for normal replacement, environmental and expansion programs. Financing for a significant portion of the thin-slab caster project has been obtained, and installation of the caster is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 1995. Armco has debt maturities of $10.5 coming due in 1995 with no major amounts coming due until 1999. In addition, Armco expects to contribute from $15.0 to $55.0 to its major pension funds in 1995 and, with the start-up of operations in Mansfield, will need to invest approximately $50.0 in additional working capital at that plant. The cash requirements, including amounts for capital expenditures, will be paid out of existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and proceeds from the sale of assets, including the possible sale of Armco's investment in AK Steel. On January 27, 1995, Armco's Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividends of $.525 per share on the $2.10 cumulative convertible preferred stock, Class A, and $.90625 per share on the $3.625 cumulative convertible preferred stock, Class A, each payable March 31, 1995 to shareholders of record on March 3, 1995. The Board of Directors also declared the regular quarterly dividend of $1.125 per share on the $4.50 cumulative convertible preferred stock, Class B, payable April 3, 1995, to shareholders of record on March 3, 1995. Payment of dividends on Armco's common stock is currently prohibited under the terms of certain of Armco's debt instruments and under the terms of the amended bank credit agreement. Armco does not anticipate paying a common stock dividend in the foreseeable future. ARMCO INC. 21 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Armco, in common with other United States manufacturers, is subject to various federal, state and local requirements for environmental controls relating to its operations. Armco has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant resources to control air and water pollutants, to dispose of wastes, and to remediate sites of past waste disposal. Armco estimates capital expenditures for pollution control in its manufacturing operations will be about $27.0 for the years 1995-1998, with the largest expenditures being made in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment. Approximately $14.0 is related to control of air pollution pursuant to regulations currently promulgated under the Clean Air Act, as amended, and corresponding state laws. These projections, which have been prepared internally and without independent engineering or other assistance, reflect Armco's current analysis of probable required capital projects for pollution control. During the period 1991 through 1994, Armco's capital expenditures for pollution control projects amounted to approximately $10.0, including $7.0 in 1994. Statutory and regulatory requirements in this area continue to evolve and, accordingly, the type and magnitude of expenditures may change. Armco has been named as a defendant, or identified as a potentially responsible party, in various governmental proceedings regarding cleanup of certain past waste disposal sites. Armco is also a defendant in various private lawsuits alleging property damage and personal injury from waste disposal sites. Joint and several liability could be imposed on Armco or other parties for these matters, thus, theoretically, one party could be held liable for all costs related to a site. While such governmental and private actions are being contested, the outcome of individual matters cannot be predicted with assurance. However, based on its experience with such cases and a review of current claims, Armco expects that in most cases any ultimate liability will be apportioned between Armco and other financially viable parties. From time to time, Armco has been and may be subject to penalties or other requirements as a result of administrative actions by regulatory agencies and to claims for indemnification for properties it has previously owned or leased. In addition, environmental exit costs may be incurred if Armco decides to dispose of additional properties. It is Armco's policy not to accrue such costs until a decision is made to dispose of a property. [Photograph of Gary Hildreth appears here] "Armco is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. To ensure that we continue to comply with environmental policy, focus on early preventive action and effectively address any necessary remediation activities, we appointed a director of environmental affairs in 1994. From 1995 to 1998, Armco expects to spend $27 million on environmental capital expenditures." -- Gary Hildreth, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Based on current facts and circumstances known to Armco, Armco's experience with site remediation, an understanding of current environmental laws and regulations, environmental assessments, the existence of other financially viable parties, expected remediation methods and the years in which Armco is expected to make payments toward each remediation (which range from the current year to 30 years or more in the future), Armco believes that the ultimate liability for environmental remediation matters identified to date, will not materially affect its consolidated financial condition or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect to such matters could have a material effect on the results of operations of future interim or annual periods. Furthermore, the identification of additional sites, changes in known circumstances with respect to identified sites, the failure of other parties to contribute their share of remediation costs, decisions to dispose of additional properties and other changed circumstances may result in increased costs to Armco, which could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity and results of operations in future interim or annual periods. However, it is not possible to determine whether additional loss, due to changed circumstances, will occur or to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any potential additional loss. Statutes and regulations relating to the protection of the environment have resulted in higher operating costs and capital investments by the industries in which Armco operates. Although it cannot predict precisely how changes in environmental requirements will affect its businesses, Armco does not believe such requirements would affect its competitive position. 22 ARMCO INC. Responsibility for Financial Reporting Armco's management prepared the financial statements presented in this Annual Report in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These principles require choices among alternatives and numerous estimates of financial matters. We believe the accounting principles chosen are appropriate in the circumstances, and the estimates and judgements involved in Armco's financial reporting are reasonable and conservative. Armco's management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial information presented in this Annual Report. We maintain a system of internal accounting control and a program of internal audits. They are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial reports are fairly presented and that Armco employees comply with our stated policies and procedures, including policies on the ethical conduct of business. We continually review and update our policies and system of internal accounting control as our businesses and business conditions change. Management and the Audit Review Committee of the Board of Directors recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the hiring of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditors for the Company. Deloitte & Touche LLP expresses an informed professional opinion on Armco's financial statements. The Audit Review Committee, composed solely of independent outside directors, oversees Armco's public financial reporting. The Audit Review Committee meets periodically with management, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Armco's internal auditors, both individually and jointly, to discuss internal accounting control and financial reporting matters. Deloitte & Touche LLP and Armco's internal auditors have free access to the Audit Review Committee to discuss any matters. We believe Armco's internal control system, combined with the activities of the internal and independent auditors and the Audit Review Committee, provides you reasonable assurance of the integrity of our financial reporting. /s/ J. F. WILL /s/ DAVID G. HARMER James F. Will David G. Harmer President and Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer Independent Auditors' Report Deloitte & Touche LLP [LOGO] 2500 One PPG Place Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Armco, Its Shareholders and Directors: We have audited the statement of consolidated financial position of Armco Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related consolidated statements of operations and of 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Armco Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the 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. As discussed in Notes 1, 2 and 4 to the financial statements, in 1993 Armco Inc. changed its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, income taxes, certain investments in debt and equity securities, and postemployment benefits. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP February 3, 1995 ARMCO INC. 23 STATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION December 31, 1994 and 1993 (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

ARMCO INC. 27 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar amounts in millions, except per share amounts) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Armco and all subsidiaries in which Armco has a controlling interest. The Worldwide Grinding Systems segment (Note 13) and the Armco Financial Services Group (AFSG) (Note 3) are included in discontinued operations. On April 24, 1992, Armco completed the acquisition of Cyclops Industries, Inc. (Cyclops), including its subsidiary, Eastern Stainless Corporation (Note 12). Armco paid $103.3 in cash, issued $30.0 of debt and 14.3 million shares of its common stock valued at $78.9 for the businesses acquired. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As of April 25, 1992, Armco began including the former Cyclops units in its financial statements. Had Armco acquired Cyclops on January 1, 1992, the combined Armco and Cyclops businesses would have generated net sales of $1,974.6, a loss before extraordinary items of $437.1 and a net loss of $445.5 or $4.41 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 1992. Cyclops was a producer of flat- rolled stainless and carbon steels, tubular steel products and special alloys, and operated businesses which design, fabricate and erect nonresidential construction products. Investments Armco has investments in associated companies (joint ventures, partnerships and companies in which Armco has a 20% or more interest, but does not control). These investments, including National-Oilwell, the former Armco Steel Company, L.P. (ASC) and North American Stainless (NAS), are accounted for by the equity method, whereby Armco's portion of their financial results are recorded as pretax equity income (loss). However, in 1994, Armco disposed of its investment in ASC and most of its investment in NAS, and as a result, no longer accounts for these businesses under the equity method (Note 11). Armco considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist primarily of commercial paper, bank repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds, are stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. In 1993, Armco adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which provides guidance as to when it is appropriate to report certain invested assets at fair market value. Under the definitions provided in this Statement, Armco has invested assets of $239.6 and $203.0 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which have been classified as held to maturity and are, therefore, recorded at amortized cost. At December 31, 1994, these invested assets, which generally mature within one year, include $195.0 of cash equivalents, $24.8 of commercial paper in Short-term liquid investments, stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value, and $14.8 of collateral deposits, described below. At December 31, 1994, investments of $32.3, which primarily consisted of the 1,023,987 shares of AK Steel common stock with a December 31, 1994 market value of $31.5 (Note 11), were classified as available for sale. The AK Steel common stock is recorded in Other current assets with a corresponding credit in Unrealized gain on equity securities in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position. At December 31, 1994, the Other investments in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position included $18.0 of restricted collateral deposits and an investment of $6.7 representing Armco's 5% limited partnership interest in NAS (Note 11). The collateral deposits are primarily invested in certificates of deposits which mature within one year and are primarily for equipment financing, self-insurance programs and environmental and litigation bonds. The classification as long-term is based on the expected term of the collateral requirement and not necessarily the maturity date of the underlying securities. At December 31, 1993, Other investments included $43.8 for the investment in NAS and $26.2 of financial instruments, of which $22.1 were restricted collateral deposits. At December 31, 1994, Armco had no investments in derivative financial instruments. Statement of Cash Flows In accordance with SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows from Armco's operations in foreign countries are calculated based on their reporting currencies. As a result of this and the sale of businesses during the year, amounts related to changes in assets and liabilities reported on the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows will not necessarily agree to changes in the corresponding balances on the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies is reported on a separate line below Cash flows from financing activities. Translation of Foreign Currency Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Assets and liabilities of international operations in hyperinflationary economies are translated at historical rates, and translation adjustments relating to such operations are included in Sundry other-net with transaction gains and losses. Armco reports interest income and interest expense net of related translation losses and gains to approximate the real rate of interest earned or expensed by its businesses operating in hyperinflationary economies. Foreign currency losses recognized in Sundry other-net were zero, $5.9 and $11.6 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories at most domestic operations is measured on the LIFO -- Last In, First Out -- method. Other inventories are measured principally 28 ARMCO INC. at average cost. Inventory balances as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were:
----------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Inventories on LIFO: Finished and semi-finished $158.7 $190.8 Raw materials and supplies 24.8 21.5 Adjustment to state inventories at LIFO value (41.1) (38.5) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total 142.4 173.8 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Inventories on average cost: Finished and semi-finished 14.8 14.1 Raw materials and supplies 8.3 17.6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total 23.1 31.7 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total inventories $165.5 $205.5 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidation of LIFO inventory layers caused by certain inventory reductions increased net income for 1994 by $3.6, or $.03 per share, in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment. Research and Development Costs Armco conducts a broad range of research and development activities, including programs for its affiliated companies. These activities are aimed at improving existing products and manufacturing processes and developing new products and processes. Research and development costs are recorded as expense when incurred, reduced by amounts funded by affiliates. The amounts incurred for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $14.6, $12.9 and $24.0, respectively, including $0.9, $3.9 and $9.4, respectively, funded by affiliates. Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease. Generally, Armco depreciates its property, plant and equipment at annual rates of 5% for land improvements, 3% - 5% for buildings and 5% - 33% for machinery and equipment. During 1994, 1993 and 1992, Armco expended $109.9, $125.1 and $129.6, respectively, for maintenance and repair of its property, plant and equipment. Armco has committed to purchase property, plant and equipment (including unexpended amounts relating to projects substantially under way) amounting to approximately $79.5 at December 31, 1994. Net Assets Held For Sale Net assets held for sale in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position consists of the lower of cost or net realizable value of net assets in businesses which have been identified for divestment (Note 9). Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily include goodwill recorded in connection with the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 106 in 1993 on the acquisition of Cyclops on April 24, 1992. This asset is being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years. Also included are goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the purchase of Douglas Dynamics, Inc. on July 2, 1991. These assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, the majority of which do not exceed 17 years. Amortization expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $6.9, $7.0 and $3.7, respectively. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, accumulated amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was $21.5 and $14.6, respectively. Armco assesses whether its goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired at each balance sheet date based on an evaluation of undiscounted projected cash flows through the remaining amortization period. If an impairment is determined, the amount of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Earnings Per Share Primary earnings per share is computed by deducting the amount of dividends on preferred stock from income (added to a loss). This amount is then divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus common equivalent shares outstanding if the common equivalent shares are dilutive. Common equivalent shares include dilutive stock options as if the options were exercised and the proceeds used to acquire common shares. Dilutive stock options give the right to buy shares at a price which is less than current market price. The fully diluted per share amounts are not presented in 1994, 1993 and 1992 because such amounts are antidilutive. Environmental Liabilities Armco has participated in or funded various cleanup efforts at sites where its facilities have disposed of wastes, including sites located on its own properties. Costs related to these efforts are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. It is Armco's policy not to accrue environmental exit costs with respect to ongoing businesses until a decision is made to dispose of the property. Concentrations of Credit Risk Armco is primarily a producer of stainless, electrical and carbon steels and steel products, which are sold to a number of markets, including industrial machinery and equipment, automotive, construction, power generation and appliances. Armco sells domestically to customers primarily in the midwestern and eastern United States, while a small amount of foreign sales are primarily made to customers in western Europe. Approximately 25% of trade receivables outstanding at December 31, 1994 are due from businesses which supply the U.S. automobile industry and another 19% are the result of sales to NAS. Armco does not require collateral on trade receivables; and while it believes its trade receivables will be collected, Armco anticipates that in the event of default it would follow normal collection procedures. Overall, credit risk related to Armco's trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers in differing industries and geographic areas. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. ARMCO INC. 29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2: PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pension Plans Armco provides noncontributory pension benefits for most employees. Prior to 1993, benefits for most nonrepresented and certain represented employees were primarily based on years of service and earnings in the highest 60 consecutive months in the last 120 months prior to the date of retirement or a minimum amount per year of service, whichever is higher. As a result of the labor negotiations in 1993, the benefits for most hourly represented employees are now based on a fixed dollar amount per year of service. Also effective January 1, 1995, a new cash balance program was established and the pension benefits under the previous formulas were locked and frozen for most nonrepresented employees. Under the new cash balance program, future increases in earnings will not apply to prior service and certain lump sum payments are available. The qualified plans have been funded to meet the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. During years prior to 1993, Armco made cash contributions which in total exceeded the minimum required contributions. No contributions were made during 1993. During 1994, contributions of $17.7 were made, of which $17.5 were required by a settlement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Under the agreement with the PBGC, the $17.5 cannot be used to offset future minimum funding requirements until after 1999. As of December 31, 1994, funding credits of $3.8 were currently available to offset future minimum funding requirements. On April 24, 1992, Armco assumed the former Cyclops pension plans. These plans had projected benefit obligations of $431.4 and plan assets with a market value of $323.6. The unfunded projected benefit obligation of $107.8 was recorded upon acquisition. Effective October 31, 1992, all qualified Cyclops pension plans, with the exception of plans for certain Eastern Stainless Corporation employees, were merged into the Armco pension plans. Economic assumptions and net periodic pension expense by component, including amounts related to divested units, were as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average discount rate 7.25% 8.0 % 8.0 % Weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets 8.25% 8.75% 8.75% Rate of future compensation increases 4.0 % 5.0 % 5.0 % Cost of benefits earned during the period $ 19.1 $ 20.4 $ 21.5 Interest cost on the projected benefit obligation 149.3 150.3 137.0 Actual loss (return) on plan assets 21.9 (256.9) (108.3) Net amortization and deferral (163.7) 115.1 (32.8) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net periodic pension expense $ 26.6 $ 28.9 $ 17.4 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Expense increased in 1993 primarily due to lower than expected investment returns in 1992, inclusion of Cyclops for the full year, closing facilities and force reductions. The net periodic expense shown above includes $1.5 in 1994 and $3.7 in 1993, for divested units, which was charged to previously established accruals. Net curtailment and settlement losses on pensions of $5.2 in 1994, $23.8 in 1993 and $44.6 in 1992 for reductions in the work force were primarily recorded as special charges and are not included in net periodic pension expense. Certain former Cyclops units which were identified for disposal in 1993 had hourly employees participating in multi-employer pension and welfare plans. The total expense for contributions to those programs was $2.4 in 1994, $1.7 in 1993 and $2.1 in 1992, which is not included in net periodic pension expense shown above. The following table presents the funded status of pension plans using discount rates of 8.50% and 7.25%, respectively, at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The assumed rate of future compensation increases was 4% in both years. The funded status of the pension plans improved during 1994, primarily as a result of the increase in the discount rate. The change in the plan for nonrepresented employees decreased the projected benefit obligation by $29.0.

Retiree Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits In addition to providing pension benefits, Armco provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for most retirees. Most employees become eligible for these benefits when they retire. Retiree health and life insurance benefits are funded as claims are paid. During 1993, the company announced changes in the plans for certain nonrepresented employees and retirees which require either higher retiree contributions or an alternative managed care program. Also during 1993, new managed care programs were negotiated with most of Armco's represented hourly employees which will be applicable to future retirements. Also under a new retiree welfare program for nonrepresented employees, effective for new retirements on or after January 1, 1995, the retirees will contribute a higher share of future increases in health care costs, ranging from 50% to the full cost of future increases. Effective January 1, 1993, Armco implemented the immediate recognition method of adopting SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The standard requires the accrual of expense for these benefits during the years an employee is actively employed, rather than the previous practice of expensing these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis when the participant retired. The cumulative effect of recognizing this obligation resulted in a net of tax charge of $440.0 or $4.24 per share as of January 1, 1993. The components of the net periodic postretirement benefit expense in 1994 and 1993, including amounts related to divested units but, excluding the cumulative effect of adoption in 1993, were as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of benefits earned during the period $9.3 $12.2 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 68.0 80.6 Amortization of plan changes (1.4) 1.7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net periodic postretirement benefit expense $75.9 $94.5 Assumptions used to determine postretirement benefit expense were: Weighted average discount rate 7.25% 8.0% Current year health care trend rate - Pre-age 65 11.25% 13.0% Current year health care trend rate - Post-age 64 8.25% 10.0% Ultimate health care trend rate 5.25% 6.0% Weighted average trend rate 6.25% 7.0% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost of benefits earned decreased in 1994 due to plan amendments and the divestment of operating units. The net periodic expense shown above includes $2.4 in 1994 and $9.6 in 1993, for divested units, which was charged to previously established accruals. Net curtailment gains (losses) on postretirement benefits of $(0.8) in 1994 and $4.4 in 1993 were not included in net periodic postretirement benefit expense. The current year health care trend rates are assumed to decrease one percent per year until they reach the ultimate rate. A one percent increase in the assumed health care trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1, 1994 by approximately $90.0, and increase the annual net periodic postretirement benefit cost by approximately $9.5. The expense for postretirement benefits under the previous pay-as-you-go method reduced net income by $49.6 in 1992. This amount was less than the approximate claims cost for these programs, since under the previous accounting method a portion of the claim amounts ($7.1 in 1992) was charged to reserves established on previous divestments. Total incurred claims costs were approximately $63.6 in 1994, $64.9 in 1993 and $56.7 in 1992. As part of the formation of Cyclops, an unrelated company retained the liability for postretirement benefits for former Cyclops employees retiring before July, 1987. ARMCO INC. 31 The following table shows the funded status of the postretirement benefit plans and the amounts recognized in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position as of December 31, 1994 and 1993:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $738.1 $734.5 Fully eligible active plan participants 72.1 82.2 Other active plan participants 116.7 156.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 926.9 972.9 Plan assets at fair value -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in excess of plan assets 926.9 972.9 Reconciliation of obligation to recorded amounts: Unrecognized negative prior service 39.0 23.2 Unrecognized net gains 88.6 47.4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued postretirement benefit liability $1,054.5 $1,043.5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assumptions used to determine obligation: Discount rate 8.5% 7.25% Current year health care trend rate - Pre-age 65 11.5% 11.25% Current year health care trend rate - Post-age 64 8.5% 8.25% Ultimate health care trend rate 6.5% 5.25% Weighted average trend rate 7.5% 6.25%
The current year health care trend rates are assumed to decrease one percent per year until they reach the ultimate rate. The change in the plan for nonrepresented employees decreased the December 31, 1994 accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $23.0. Employee Benefit Obligations of Former Business Units Armco has recorded, in its employee benefit obligations, the present value of estimated pension and health care benefits for former employees associated with facilities which have been or are being divested. Sundry other-net includes interest costs related to these liabilities of $35.8, $23.8 and $13.2 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, related to these liabilities. The increase in costs from 1993 to 1994 was primarily due to the addition of retirees from Worldwide Grinding Systems and other units divested in 1993, partially offset by lower interest rate. The increase from 1992 to 1993 was also due to an increase in retirees from divested units. Postemployment Benefits Effective January 1, 1993, Armco adopted SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, and recorded $3.1, or $.03 per share, of expense for the cumulative effect of establishing additional liabilities for certain short-term and long-term disability benefit plans. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3: ARMCO FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP (AFSG) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFSG currently consists primarily of insurance companies which Armco intends to sell and which continue underwriting activities (AFSG companies to be sold) and companies that have stopped writing new business and are being liquidated (runoff companies). Armco previously announced its intention to dispose of or liquidate all of the AFSG companies. AFSG Companies to be Sold In January 1994, after further evaluation of its various alternatives and even though the insurance market remained weak, Armco signed a letter of intent to sell the AFSG companies to be sold to Vik Brothers Insurance Inc. (Vik Brothers), a privately held, North Carolina-based property and casualty insurance holding company. On August 2, 1994, Armco and Vik Brothers signed a definitive agreement, subject to a number of conditions, including approvals by regulatory authorities. The sale is expected to close by March 31, 1995. Armco recorded a $45.0 charge in the fourth quarter of 1993 in connection with its decision to enter into this transaction. The charge was primarily taken to reduce Armco's investment in the AFSG companies to be sold to its estimated net realizable value of $73.9. Under terms of the agreement Armco will be paid approximately $65.0 at the closing and $15.0 in three years, subject to potential adjustment for adverse experience in certain insurance reserves. As a result of restructuring certain obligations arising from a 1992 merger plan for the runoff companies, the proceeds from the sale have been pledged as security for certain note obligations due to the runoff insurance companies and will be retained in the investment portfolio of the AFSG runoff companies. Prior to 1993, Armco accounted for the operating results of the AFSG companies to be sold under the cost recovery method, whereby net income was not recognized until realized through a sale of the businesses, while net losses were charged against income as incurred. These businesses are now presented as discontinued operations. The following sets forth the summarized statement of financial condition and results of operations for the AFSG companies to be sold at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992: 32 ARMCO INC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Financial condition Assets: Invested assets $ 400.5 $ 440.7 Receivables 98.7 87.7 Other 41.3 43.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total assets 540.5 571.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Liabilities: Property and casualty reserves 407.8 398.3 Payables and other liabilities 36.4 37.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total liabilities 444.2 435.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net assets $ 96.3 $ 135.9 Amounts to reconcile to Armco investment: Net income (3.8) (10.4) Unrealized investment (gain) loss 19.7 (13.3) Loss on disposal of businesses (45.0) (45.0) Net liabilities retained 6.7 6.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Armco investment $ 73.9 $ 73.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Results of operations Premiums earned $ 216.3 $ 227.7 $ 239.9 Losses and loss adjustment expenses (169.9) (177.1) (196.1) Underwriting expenses (82.3) (82.7) (90.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Underwriting loss (35.9) (32.1) (46.2) Investment income 29.4 43.7 44.1 Other expenses (0.1) (1.2) (0.5) Income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in accounting for postretirement benefits (6.6) 10.4 (2.6) Cumulative effect of change in accounting for post retirement benefits -- (14.0) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net loss $ (6.6) $ (3.6) $ (2.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During 1993, the AFSG companies to be sold adopted SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, SFAS No. 113, Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts and SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 106, the AFSG companies to be sold recorded a net of tax charge of $14.0 for the cumulative effect of this accounting change. This amount is included in Cumulative effect of changes in accounting on Armco's Statement of Consolidated Operations. The effects of adoption of SFAS No. 109 and SFAS No. 112 were not material. SFAS No. 113 requires that reinsurance receivables and prepaid insurance premiums be reported as assets and eliminates the practice of reporting assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance contracts net of the effects of reinsurance. Adoption of SFAS No. 113 by the AFSG companies to be sold did not result in a charge to earnings. Based on market values, invested assets at December 31, 1994 consist primarily of investment grade bonds: U.S. Treasury securities (21%); corporate bonds (45%); mortgage-backed securities (23%) and cash and short-term investments (11%). The market value of invested assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $397.3 and $441.5, respectively. Investment income included a net realized loss of $0.5 for 1994 and net realized gains of $11.2 and $10.1 for 1993 and 1992, respectively. Property and casualty reserves include amounts determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based upon past experience, for losses incurred but not reported. Such amounts are necessarily based upon estimates and, while management believes the amounts are fairly stated, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings. Policy acquisition costs that vary with and are directly related to the production of premiums are deferred and amortized over the terms of the policies. Amortization for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $45.8, $46.5 and $49.9. The AFSG companies to be sold limit their exposure to loss by ceding (reinsuring) certain levels of risk with other insurers. In the event that all or any of the reinsuring companies might be unable to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements, the AFSG companies to be sold would be liable for such obligations. At December 31, 1994, reinsurance ceded balances totaled $45.7. Participating business represents approximately 13.4%, 14.5% and 13.2% of total premiums in force at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The amount of dividends to be paid on these policies is based upon the individual policies. Policyholder dividend expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $2.6, $2.4 and $3.0, respectively. The amount of statutory policyholders' surplus at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $99.7 and $108.7, respectively. Runoff Companies The runoff companies are accounted for as discontinued operations under the liquidation basis of accounting, whereby all future cash inflows and outflows are considered. Armco believes, based on current facts and circumstances, including the opinion of outside actuaries, that future changes in estimates of net losses relating to the ultimate liquidation of the runoff companies will not be material to Armco's financial position or liquidity. The following sets forth summarized financial information at December 31, 1994 for the runoff companies: ARMCO INC. 33 ----------------------------------------------------- Assets: Invested assets $115.8 Reinsurance recoverable 165.7 Other 17.2 ----------------------------------------------------- Total assets 298.7 ----------------------------------------------------- Liabilities: Losses and loss reserves (net of future investment income of $35.5) 236.9 Other 38.6 Total liabilities 275.5 ----------------------------------------------------- Net assets $ 23.2 -----------------------------------------------------
Currently, insurance regulators having supervisory authority over the AFSG insurance operations retain substantial control over certain transactions, including the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold and the payment of dividends to Armco. In 1992, regulatory authorities approved a merger plan which permitted Armco to merge a runoff insurance company with a statutory surplus impairment into another of Armco's runoff companies, curing the impairment. The merger plan contemplated that Armco would cause the surviving company to be runoff and to maintain its statutory surplus at not less than $10.0. During 1993, regulatory authorities allowed Armco to restructure and secure certain obligations arising from the 1992 merger plan, and Armco was released from its surplus maintenance agreement. There are various pending matters relating to litigation, arbitration and regulatory affairs, including matters related to Northwestern National Insurance Company, a runoff company currently involved in, among other matters, litigation with respect to certain reinsurance programs. The ultimate liability from such matters at December 31, 1994 cannot be determined; but in Armco's opinion, based on current facts and circumstances and the views of outside counsel and advisors, any liability resulting will not materially affect Armco's financial position or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect to changes in the ultimate liability could have a material effect on future interim or annual results of operations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4: INCOME TAXES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armco files a consolidated U. S. federal income tax return. This return includes all domestic companies 80% or more owned by Armco and the proportionate share of Armco's interest in partnership investments. State tax returns are filed on a consolidated, combined or separate basis depending on the applicable laws relating to Armco and its domestic subsidiaries. The United States and foreign components of Income (loss) before income taxes, including Armco's portion of the income (loss) of equity companies for 1994, 1993 and 1992 of $15.3, $(43.7) and $(255.5), respectively, consist of the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------- United States $ 44.3 $(276.4) $(463.3) Foreign 4.7 12.9 10.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 49.0 $(263.5) $(453.3) -------------------------------------------------------------------
Income tax credits (provisions) for Armco and consolidated subsidiaries are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: U. S. federal $ -- $ 4.2 $ 29.4 U. S. state (0.8) 4.9 (0.3) Foreign (0.5) (1.8) (2.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total (1.3) 7.3 26.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred: U.S. federal 27.3 -- 4.4 U. S. state 2.7 -- 1.6 Foreign -- -- 1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 30.0 -- 7.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total credit for income taxes $ 28.7 $ 7.3 $ 34.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate applied to pretax book income with the credit for income taxes in the Statement of Consolidated Operations for the year 1994: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal taxes at statutory rate $ (17.2) State income taxes, net of federal benefit (2.9) Reduction in valuation allowance 20.1 Decrease in beginning balance of valuation allowance 30.0 Other (1.3) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit for income taxes $ 28.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------
During 1994, Armco's tax effected future deductible temporary differences declined by $26.2 as a result of payments in 1994 for costs primarily associated with employee benefits and restructuring actions that had been accrued for financial accounting purposes in prior years. This deferred tax benefit had been previously offset by an equal amount of valuation allowance. The reversal of these temporary differences and the utilization of capital loss carryforward tax benefits of $10.7, for book purposes, resulted in an additional deferred tax benefit of $16.8 that can be carried forward. For financial reporting purposes, management concluded that realization of the future tax benefit of this net operating loss carryforward was not likely, so an equal valuation allowance was recorded. The net tax effect of these transactions resulted in a reduction in the valuation allowance during 1994 of $20.1, which offset the federal and state income tax effect at statutory rates on pretax book income. The income tax benefit of $28.7 recognized in 1994 is primarily the result of decreasing the beginning balance of the valuation allowance by $30.0 due to the effects, including the elimination of ASC's estimated future taxable losses, that the initial public offering 34 ARMCO INC. and recapitalization of ASC had on management's assessment of the amount of deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized in the future. In 1993, Armco recorded income from tax benefits of $4.9 in Credit for income taxes on the Statement of Consolidated Operations; and income of $5.8, related to interest, in Sundry other - net, for settlements of state income tax issues. In addition, Armco reversed a federal tax reserve of $4.3 as a result of the resolution of certain tax issues. This amount was recorded in Credit for income taxes. In 1992, Armco recognized income of $39.1 as the result of a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service on two federal tax refund claims. Of the total amount recognized, $16.2, representing the tax refunds, was recorded in Credit for income taxes and $22.9, representing interest on the claims, was recorded in Sundry other-net. In addition, Armco adjusted certain income tax reserves resulting in a $13.0 benefit for income taxes, primarily in the fourth quarter of 1992 At December 31, 1994, Armco had capital and net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for federal tax purposes expiring as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------- Year Expires Amount ------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital losses: 1998 $ 63.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Net operating losses: 1998 $ 63.0 1999 128.8 2000 13.5 2001 143.2 2002 3.0 2004 9.1 2005 131.4 2006 247.1 2007 193.5 2008 137.0 2009 41.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total NOL carryforward $1,110.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Included in the $1,110.7 NOL carryforward is $63.1 from separate return years of Armco subsidiaries for years prior to their inclusion in the consolidated group. These losses are subject to limitations regarding the offset of Armco's future taxable income and will expire if not used in the period 1998- 2005. Armco has $840.0 in U.S. alternative minimum tax net operating losses. Additionally, Armco has $12.1 of alternative minimum tax credits which have no expiration. Armco adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, effective January 1, 1993. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109, excluding a tax benefit of $170.3 for the cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS No. 106, was a benefit of $135.6 or $1.31 per share as of January 1, 1993. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (b) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the total net deferred tax assets of $328.5 and $298.5, respectively, were included in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other current assets $ 8.0 $ 5.9 Deferred tax asset 321.8 295.6 Other accruals -- (1.5) Other liabilities (1.3) (1.5) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net deferred tax asset $ 328.5 $ 298.5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Significant components of Armco's net deferred tax asset are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax effects of: Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards $ 488.7 $ 497.0 Employee benefits 602.8 615.3 Property, plant and equipment (148.0) (142.5) Other (includes contingencies and other accruals) 86.3 104.9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subtotal 1,029.8 1,074.7 Valuation allowance (701.3) (776.2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total net deferred tax asset $ 328.5 $ 298.5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though Armco has incurred tax losses for the past five fiscal years, management believes that it is more likely than not that it will generate taxable income sufficient to realize a portion of the tax benefit associated with future deductible temporary differences and NOL carryforwards prior to their expiration. This belief is based upon, among other factors, changes in operations that have occurred during the last three years, as well as consideration of available tax planning strategies. Specifically, cost savings, associated with Armco's acquisition of Cyclops and new capital investments, are being realized and are anticipated to continue to improve operating results. This improvement was particularly evident in 1994's operating results in comparison with prior years. Armco has operated in a highly cyclical industry and consequently has had a history of generating and then utilizing significant amounts of NOL carryforwards. During the years 1987-1989, Armco utilized approximately $350.0 of NOL carryforwards. However, management believes that a valuation allowance is appropriate given the current estimates of future taxable income. If Armco is unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future through operating results, increases in the valuation allowance will be required through a charge to expense. However, if Armco achieves sufficient profitability to utilize a greater portion of the deferred tax asset, the valuation allowance will be reduced through a credit to income. United States income tax returns of Armco for the year 1990 and prior years have been subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and are closed to assessments. However, the NOL carryforwards from some of these years remain open to adjustment. Armco has been in a cumulative net operating loss carryforward position since 1983 and believes that it has sufficient loss carryforwards in excess of any potential audit adjustments that might be made by the Internal Revenue Service for any open years. ARMCO INC. 35 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5: LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-Term Debt At December 31, 1994 and 1993 Armco's long-term debt, less current maturities, was as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sinking fund debentures: 8.5% due 2001 $ 39.8 $ 48.0 9.2% due 2000 30.0 35.0 8.7% due 1995 -- 7.9 8.0% Eastern Stainless Corporation due 2003 -- 13.4 Notes payable: 9.375% due 2000 125.0 125.0 11.375% due 1999 100.0 100.0 7.875% due 1995-1996 3.5 5.3 Variable rate (LIBOR plus 2.75%) due 1996-2001 44.6 29.6 5.0% due 2000 6.7 -- Pollution control revenue bonds - 8.125% 14.2 15.0 Other -- 0.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $363.8 $379.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maturities of existing long-term debt during the five years ending December 31, 1999, are as follows: 1995, $10.5; 1996, $25.4; 1997, $23.2; 1998, $21.6 and 1999, $121.7. The fair market value of Armco's long-term debt, including current maturities, is approximately $347.6. This value was determined by calculating a value based on cash flow yield to maturity and comparing that amount to market information where possible. The fair market value estimate is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1994. Management is not aware of any significant factors that would alter this estimate after that date. The fair market value of Armco's long-term debt, including current maturities, at December 31, 1993 was approximately $392.8. As a result of Eastern Stainless Corporation's decision to sell substantially all of its assets for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities (Note 12), Armco's Statement of Consolidated Financial Position no longer includes the Eastern Stainless Corporation 8% sinking fund debentures due 2003 in Long- term debt. However, Armco continues to guarantee this debt, which has a face value of $15.5. During 1994, construction loan commitments provided $24.3 of financing in connection with the continuous caster at the Mansfield facility. Armco has a commitment for an additional $16.2 of financing related to construction of the caster. The caster is pledged as collateral on these loans. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, long-term debt included $29.6 of financing utilized to construct a cold rolling mill at Armco's Butler, Pennsylvania facility, included in the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment. Effective February 28, 1994, Armco signed an agreement which restructured the payment terms to ten semi-annual installments beginning in 1996. The cold rolling mill is pledged as collateral on this loan. In the fourth quarter of 1993, Armco issued $125.0 of 9.375% Senior Notes due November 1, 2000. The proceeds, together with approximately $16.6 of Armco's cash, were used for the retirement of the following debt issues: $30.0 of 11% notes maturing in 1997 due to the AFSG runoff companies from Douglas Dynamics, Inc., $5.0 of the 7.875% bonds maturing in 2005 and $2.0 of the 8.7% debentures due in 1995. In addition, $88.0 of the 13.5% Notes due 1994 were defeased when Armco placed $99.9 in a trust to pay principal and interest when due. The early extinguishment of debt resulted in an extraordinary loss of $7.3 or $.07 per share in the fourth quarter of 1993. In 1992, Armco purchased $32.5 face value of its long-term debt obligations resulting in an extraordinary loss of $2.3 or $.02 per share. Bank Credit Agreement In the fourth quarter of 1993, Armco entered into an amended credit agreement with a group of banks to provide a credit facility for borrowings up to $170.0 on a revolving credit basis until December 31, 1995, secured by certain of Armco's receivables and inventories. As of the end of 1994, Armco had utilized $85.4 of the credit facility for letters of credit. As amended in the fourth quarter of 1994, the credit agreement subjects Armco to certain restrictions and covenants related to, among other things, minimum working capital, a cumulative net income test and certain ratio requirements. Capitalized Interest Armco capitalized interest on projects during construction of $4.5, $1.2 and $1.1 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Capitalized interest for 1994 primarily relates to the construction of the thin-slab caster in Mansfield, Ohio. Long-Term Leases Rental expense under operating leases was $7.2 in 1994, $11.3 in 1993 and $14.1 in 1992. At December 31, 1994, commitments to make future minimum lease payments for operating leases were $8.5 in 1995, $6.3 in 1996, $4.3 in 1997, $3.1 in 1998, $2.1 in 1999 and $3.5 in the year 2000 and thereafter. During this period, future minimum subleases to be received total $1.7. 36 ARMCO INC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6: SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preferred Stock Armco has outstanding two classes of preferred stock. The two classes rank equally with respect to dividend payments, redemption and liquidation rights. The preferred stock ranks senior to Armco's common stock with respect to dividends and upon liquidation. Armco has two series of Class A preferred stock outstanding. The $2.10 Class A preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $2.10 per share. Shareholders of the $2.10 Class A preferred stock have one vote per share and each share is convertible into 1.27 shares of Armco's common stock. This series of Class A preferred stock may be redeemed at Armco's option for $40 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The $3.625 Class A preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $3.625 per share. Shareholders of this series of Class A preferred stock are entitled to one vote per share and each share is convertible into 6.78 shares of Armco's common stock. The $3.625 Class A preferred stock may be redeemed at Armco's option on or after October 15, 1995 at prices starting at $52.5375, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, and declining, at 12-month intervals, to $50 on and after October 15, 2002. Armco's outstanding series of Class B preferred stock is nonvoting and pays cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $4.50 per share. Each share is convertible into 2.22 shares of Armco's common stock. The Class B preferred stock may be redeemed at Armco's option for $50 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Activity for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 related to Armco's preferred stock was as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Class A Class B ---------------- ---------------- Shares Amount Shares Amount ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1991 1,697,256 $ 7.2 999,900 $48.3 $3.625 preferred stock issued 2,700,000 130.4 -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1992 4,397,256 137.6 999,900 48.3 Conversion to Armco common stock (25) -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1993 4,397,231 137.6 999,900 48.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1994 4,397,231 $137.6 999,900 $48.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock At December 31, 1994, 22,681,261 unissued shares of Armco's common stock were reserved for the conversion of preferred stock and 3,097,496 unissued shares of common stock were reserved for the exercise of stock options (Note 7). Activity for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 related to Armco's common stock was as follows:

Shareholder Rights Plan On June 27, 1986, Armco adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan designed to deter coercive takeover tactics and to prevent an acquirer from gaining control of Armco without offering a fair price to all of Armco's shareholders. Under the terms of the plan, preferred stock purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock held as of the close of business on July 7, 1986. ARMCO INC. 37 Until the rights become exercisable, common stock issued will also have one right attached. Each right will entitle shareholders to buy one two-hundredth of a share of a currently unissued series of Class A participating preferred stock of Armco at an exercise price of $35. Each right will thereafter entitle the holder to receive upon exercise, common stock or, in certain circumstances, preferred stock or other securities or assets of the company having a value of $70. The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of Armco's common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer, after which such person or group would beneficially own 30% or more of the common stock. A total of 650,000 shares of Class A participating preferred stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of the rights. Armco, except as otherwise provided in the plan, will generally be able to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time during a ten-day period following public announcement that a 20% position in Armco has been acquired. During this ten-day period, Armco may also extend the time during which it may redeem the rights. The rights are not exercisable until the expiration of the redemption period. The rights will expire on June 26, 1996. Dividends Under the terms of the amended credit agreement (Note 5), Armco cannot pay cash dividends on its common stock. In addition, under the terms of indentures for Armco's 11.375% Senior Notes due 1999 and 9.375% Senior Notes due 2000, Armco can pay a dividend on its common stock only if it meets certain financial tests described in the indentures. Armco does not expect to satisfy these tests in the near future, and therefore, Armco does not expect to be able to pay a common stock dividend or repurchase its capital stock. The payment of preferred stock dividends is prohibited if Armco is in default of the credit agreement. In 1993, as a result of reducing the par value of Armco's common stock, $102.7 was transferred from Armco's stated capital account for its common stock to Additional paid-in capital, increasing surplus from which Armco is permitted, under Ohio law, to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock issues. Armco is incorporated in Ohio. In addition, effective March 31, 1993, the corporate statute of Ohio was amended to provide that Ohio corporations that recognize immediately the full amount of their transition obligation under SFAS No. 106, as Armco did, could increase the amount available for payment of dividends by a surplus adjustment. The surplus adjustment allows a corporation to add to its available surplus, at the time of the dividend, an amount equal to the difference between the reduction in the corporation's surplus that resulted from the immediate recognition of the SFAS No. 106 transition obligation and the reduction that would have been recognized had the corporation elected to amortize its transition obligation. At December 31, 1994, the amount from which Armco is permitted to pay dividends under this provision was $143.8. Under the terms of Ohio law, Armco is currently not permitted to purchase shares of its capital stock. The Board of Directors at its January 1995 meeting declared the regular quarterly dividends payable on both series of Armco's Class A preferred stock and on its Class B preferred stock. Retained Deficit and Other Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) Activity for the years 1992, 1993 and 1994 related to Armco's retained deficit and other shareholders' equity (deficit) was as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Unrealized Retained Gains on Deficit Equity Securities Other ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1991 $ (350.5) $ 0.2 $(11.6) Net loss (429.9) -- -- Preferred stock dividends declared (10.3) -- -- Adjustment to net unrealized gains -- (0.2) -- Foreign currency translation adjustment -- -- 9.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1992 (790.7) -- (1.9) Net loss (641.8) -- -- Preferred stock dividends declared (17.8) -- -- Foreign currency translation adjustment -- -- 1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1993 (1,450.3) -- (0.8) Net income 77.7 -- -- Preferred stock dividends declared (17.8) -- -- Adjustment to net unrealized gains -- 31.6 -- Foreign currency translation adjustment -- -- 0.5 Deferred compensation on restricted stock issued -- -- (2.7) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1994 $(1,390.4) $31.6 $ (3.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7: COMMON STOCK OPTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armco shareholders adopted Common Stock Option Plans in 1977, 1983 and 1988. In addition, stock options may be granted under the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These plans provide generally for granting options to purchase common stock for not less than 100% of the market price on the date the option is granted. The 1977, 1983 and 1988 Plans have expired as to new grants. For outstanding options containing stock appreciation rights, the excess of the market price of the stock over the option price is accrued. Although they may terminate earlier under certain conditions, stock options generally expire 10 years after they are granted. Options relating to 2,963,000 shares of stock were available for granting at December 31, 1994 under the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan. 38 ARMCO INC. On April 24, 1992, stock options granted to Cyclops employees and directors prior to the acquisition were converted into Armco stock options with the same terms and conditions as the original grants. The Cyclops options provided for purchase of common stock for not less than 100% of the market price on the date the options were granted, and generally expire five years after the date of grant. However, options converted for members of the Cyclops board of directors expired on April 24, 1993. The following is summarized information relating to Armco common stock options:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number Option Price of Shares Per Share ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options outstanding December 31 1994 3,097,496 $3.24-13.69 1993 3,015,774 3.24-19.38 1992 3,741,252 3.24-19.38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options exercisable December 31 1994 2,241,996 $3.24-13.69 1993 2,429,274 3.24-19.38 1992 3,741,252 3.24-19.38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options exercised (including stock appreciation rights) 1994 42,389 $3.24-5.94 1993 717,398 3.24-7.00 1992 119,580 3.24-5.94 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armco's business segments include: (1) Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel, which includes businesses that produce electrical and stainless steel sheet and strip for the industrial machinery and equipment, automotive, construction and service center markets; international trading companies, that buy and sell steel and manufactured steel products and, until September 30, 1994, a stainless steel plate producer; and (2) Other Steel and Fabricated Products, which, at December 31, 1994, included operations that produce carbon sheet and strip, and tubular products for the industrial machinery, construction and appliance markets, and a manufacturer of snowplows for four-wheel drive pickup trucks and utility vehicles and other light truck equipment. During the second quarter of 1994, Armco idled the carbon sheet and strip plants until the completion of a new thin-slab caster, scheduled for early in the second quarter of 1995. At various times during the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment also included other businesses which have since been divested or identified for disposal (Note 9). Such businesses included producers of stainless steel bar, rod and wire and high temperature superalloys, and providers of nonresidential construction products and services, and steel cutting, slitting, leveling, blanking and other services. Armco's industry segment information is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer sales: Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $1,048.5 $1,001.5 $ 885.5 Other Steel and Fabricated Products 389.1 662.5 787.7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $1,437.6 $1,664.0 $1,673.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Intersegment sales: (1) Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ 0.1 $ 11.1 $ 7.1 Other Steel and Fabricated Products 0.4 52.0 2.9 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Special charges-net: Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ (15.0) $ -- $ (37.6) Other Steel and Fabricated Products (20.0) (165.5) (129.8) Corporate general -- -- (17.7) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ (35.0) $ (165.5) $ (185.1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating profit (loss): (2) Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ 126.3 $ 75.5 $ 21.4 Other Steel and Fabricated Products (54.9) (183.5) (128.5) Corporate general (32.2) (38.0) (50.2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 39.2 $ (146.0) $ (157.3) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital expenditures: Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ 26.5 $ 17.1 $ 34.1 Other Steel and Fabricated Products 69.1 36.0 24.1 Corporate general 0.8 0.8 1.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 96.4 $ 53.9 $ 59.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation and lease-right amortization: Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ 29.8 $ 30.1 $ 27.0 Other Steel and Fabricated Products 17.0 21.0 17.2 Corporate general 2.0 2.1 2.5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 48.8 $ 53.2 $ 46.7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Identifiable assets: Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel $ 552.5 $ 614.3 $ 626.0 Other Steel and Fabricated Products 384.9 380.9 570.9 Corporate general (3) 900.4 812.4 400.4 Discontinued operations 97.1 97.1 272.6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $1,934.9 $1,904.7 $1,869.9 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Prices generally approximate cost. Intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation. Sales between foreign and domestic companies are not material. (2) Operating profit (loss) includes the effects of Special charges-net. (3) Corporate general identifiable assets in 1994 included $219.5 of cash and liquid investments, $79.5 for the investment in National-Oilwell, current and noncurrent deferred tax assets of $329.8 and goodwill and other intangible assets of $130.1. In 1992, the last year in which they were a significant portion of Armco's results, foreign subsidiaries accounted for $228.0 of net sales, $19.7 of the net loss and $127.4 of identifiable assets.
ARMCO INC. 39 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9: SPECIAL CHARGES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the first quarter of 1994, Armco recorded a special charge of $20.0 for expenses associated with the temporary idling and restructuring of its steelmaking facilities in Mansfield and Dover, Ohio. The decision to idle the facilities came after the failure of a key piece of equipment at the Mansfield plant crippled production, and management undertook a study to determine if continuing losses could be reduced by idling the facilities. These facilities have been idled since the second quarter of 1994, and the Mansfield plant is expected to remain idle until construction of the new thin-slab continuous caster is completed. The Dover operation started limited production in early 1995. Completion of the caster is scheduled for early in the second quarter of 1995. The special charge consisted of $13.5 for employee benefits, primarily group insurance and supplemental unemployment benefits; and $6.5 to writedown inventories and fixed assets. During 1994, employee benefit payments totaling $7.5 were made and an additional $2.5 are expected in the first quarter of 1995. The remaining liability is recorded in Long-term employee benefit obligations in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position. In the third quarter of 1994, Armco recognized a charge of $15.0 related to a decision by Eastern Stainless Corporation (Eastern Stainless) to sell substantially all of its assets to Avesta Sheffield Holding Company (Avesta Sheffield), a stainless steel plate manufacturer, for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. Approximately $9.0 of the charge is to cover increases in pension and other employee benefit obligations, $1.8 is for the writedown of assets, $3.2 is estimated for losses through the date of disposal and $1.0 relates to transaction fees and expenses. No significant payments have been made related to these amounts, though $2.4 of the reserve for losses was used in 1994. Armco will retain those net liabilities of Eastern Stainless that are not assumed by Avesta Sheffield or satisfied by the sale proceeds. Those liabilities are expected to total approximately $50.0. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, scheduled for March 14, 1995, Armco anticipates that Eastern Stainless will have no assets remaining as a corporate legal entity and will be dissolved without any shareholder distribution. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by the Eastern Stainless shareholders. Since Armco owns approximately 84% of the Eastern Stainless voting stock and intends to vote in favor of the proposed transaction, shareholder approval is assured. The assets and liabilities to be sold to Avesta Sheffield are recorded in Net assets held for sale in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position. The liabilities related to the charge are recorded primarily in the Current portion of employee benefit obligations and Other accruals. In 1993, as part of its strategy to focus on the production of specialty flat- rolled steel, Armco sold its Brazilian operations and decided to exit a number of domestic businesses, recording special charges totaling $165.5. Of the total, $15.0 related to the sale of Armco do Brasil S.A. and the remainder was associated with the ultimate disposal of a nonresidential construction business, a tubing plant, the stainless bar, rod and wire businesses, and the conversion systems business. The special charges primarily include $52.1 for the excess of carrying value of net assets over anticipated proceeds on disposal, $78.0 for employee benefit costs and $29.5 for estimated losses through the dates of disposal. Other components of the charges were expenses related to provisions for legal and environmental matters and recognition of previously deferred foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by pension curtailment gains. Most of the charges were either non-cash or will be paid over a long period. The employee benefit charges primarily relate to long-term retirement benefits that will be paid over many years. The reserves for future losses were, for the most part, utilized during 1994 and a small remainder of the miscellaneous reserves is held for final settlement of transaction fees and property maintenance. In 1992, Armco recorded special charges, totaling $185.1, associated with a series of restructuring actions undertaken to reduce costs, improve profitability and strengthen Armco's competitive position. These charges included: $37.6 to close the Eastern Stainless melt shop and reduce salaried work force at Armco's Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel operations; $32.6 related to the sale of Armco's Venezuelan operations and closing a fabricating plant in Heidelberg, Pennsylvania; and $101.4 to downsize plants in Baltimore, Maryland and Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, and sell the Cytemp Specialty Steel plant in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Armco also recognized a charge of $17.7 to restructure corporate functions. Additional special charges - net in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products segment in 1992 included a $5.4 gain on the sale of Southwestern Ohio Steel and SOS Leveling Co., Inc. and $1.2 to increase a reserve for the planned divestment of VSX Corporation. The total special charge of $185.1 included $114.0 for employee benefit costs related to the restructurings, $39.9 for continuing losses and excess carrying value of net assets over the anticipated proceeds on disposal, with the remainder comprised primarily of provisions for legal and environmental matters and the recognition of previously deferred foreign currency translation adjustments. These restructuring actions have been completed except for the payment of retirement benefits, which will occur over a period of many years. 40 ARMCO INC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10: LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Taconite Company, a subsidiary of Armco, and a subsidiary of LTV Corporation each owned a 50% interest in the properties and assets of Reserve Mining Company (Reserve Mining), a Minnesota partnership that produced taconite iron ore pellets and which filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 in 1986. On August 17, 1989, Cyprus Northshore Mining Corporation (Cyprus), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cyprus Minerals Company, purchased the assets of Reserve Mining. On that date, Armco and First Taconite Company entered into an agreement with the state of Minnesota, the Reserve Mining Company bankruptcy trustee and Cyprus, whereby Cyprus agreed to operate the facility and, upon the purchase by AK Steel (formerly ASC) of certain quantities of iron ore pellets produced by the facility, or upon an approved modification to a tailings disposal site closure plan by the state as provided in the agreement, Cyprus agreed to assume closure and perpetual maintenance obligations of the tailings disposal site. Cyprus continues to operate the facility and Armco expects that either the purchase of such specified quantities or the approved modification will occur in 1995. There are various claims pending involving Armco and its subsidiaries regarding product liability, patent, antitrust, environmental and hazardous waste matters, reinsurance and insurance arrangements, and other matters arising out of the conduct of Armco's business. In addition, Armco is involved with various claims against Reserve Mining. If the claimants are successful in such claims, Armco could become liable for these non-debt obligations in an amount that could be substantial. The actual liability for legal claims against Armco at December 31, 1994 cannot be determined; but in Armco's opinion, based on current facts and circumstances, the ultimate liability resulting from such claims will not materially affect its consolidated financial position or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect to such matters could have a material effect on the results of operations of future interim or annual periods. Costs for compliance with statutes and regulations relating to environmental protection are included in operating expense, except for capital expenditures, which are included in property, plant and equipment with appropriate depreciation. It is Armco's policy to accrue environmental exit costs when a decision is made to dispose of a property. Armco has been named as a defendant or identified as a potentially responsible party in various proceedings regarding remediation of certain past waste disposal sites. Armco is also a defendant in various private lawsuits alleging property damage and personal injury related to some of its disposal sites, and has received claims for indemnification for certain properties it has previously owned or leased. In most cases involving waste disposal sites, Armco is one of many potentially responsible parties. In these cases, joint and several liability could be imposed on Armco or other parties, thus one party could be held liable for all costs related to a site. However, based on its experience and a review of current claims, Armco believes that in most cases any ultimate liability will be apportioned between Armco and other financially viable parties, generally on the basis of volume and/or toxicity of wastes disposed at the specific sites. While such actions are being contested, the outcome of individual matters cannot be predicted with assurance. Reserves to cover costs related to environmental requirements, remediation of identified off-site and on-site disposal sites, and other environmental proceedings are established when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. In establishing reserves, Armco assesses the range of possible liability and determines the most likely outcome for each matter or, if that cannot be determined, the lowest liability in the range of reasonably estimated outcomes. Costs are estimated based on experience with site remediation, an understanding of current environmental laws and regulations, environmental assessments, the existence of other financially viable parties, expected remediation methods and the years in which Armco is expected to make payments toward each remediation (which range from the current year to 30 years or more in the future). Liabilities are not discounted. These estimates are reviewed quarterly to assess changed conditions, including current interpretation of environmental laws and regulations. Adjustments are made if changed conditions have a significant effect on cost estimates. Reserves have not been adjusted for expected recoveries from insurers or other parties. Based on current facts and circumstances known to Armco, and its most recent assessment of individual sites for the purpose of preparing cost estimates related to its environmental reserves, Armco believes that the ultimate liability for environmental matters identified to date, will not materially affect its consolidated financial condition or liquidity. However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect to such matters could have a material effect on the results of operations of future interim or annual periods. Furthermore, the identification of additional sites, changes in known circumstances with respect to identified sites, the failure of other parties to contribute their share of remediation costs, decisions to dispose of additional properties and other changed circumstances may result in increased costs to Armco, which could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity and results of operations in future interim or annual periods. However, it is not possible to determine whether additional loss, due to changed circumstances, will occur or to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any potential additional loss. In 1994, Armco recorded a $4.5 charge in Cost of products sold on the Statement of Consolidated Operations to increase environmental and litigation reserves. At December 31, 1994, Armco had recorded, in its Statement of Consolidated Financial Position, $21.1 in Other accruals and $58.6 in Other liabilities for estimated probable costs relating to legal and environmental matters. ARMCO INC. 41 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11: EQUITY COMPANIES ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- National-Oilwell Effective April 1, 1987, Armco exchanged the business and certain net assets of its oil field business for a 50% interest in National-Oilwell, a joint venture equally owned by subsidiaries of Armco and USX Corporation (USX). USX also transferred its oil field equipment and services operation to the joint venture. National-Oilwell sells oil field tubular pipe, and produces and sells drilling and production equipment, and process pumps used in the world's oil and gas services industry. Armco does not consider National-Oilwell part of its core business and, therefore, continues to evaluate options with respect to its investment in this joint venture. Armco's equity income in the joint venture for 1994 included net gains of $6.4 due to the sale of certain productive assets and lines of business. In the first quarter of 1994, National-Oilwell completed the divestiture of its unprofitable wellhead business, for which Armco recognized a $5.0 charge against its equity income in the fourth quarter of 1993. Armco's equity losses in 1992 included $3.3 for its portion of the charges recorded for the shutdown and rationalization of certain of National-Oilwell's manufacturing facilities. The following is summarized financial information for National-Oilwell at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and for the years then ended:
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current assets $ 240.0 $ 296.5 $ 291.1 Noncurrent assets 28.3 47.0 80.8 Current liabilities 88.2 141.7 147.9 Noncurrent liabilities 18.2 31.1 31.4 Net sales 562.1 627.3 569.9 Gross profit 79.6 79.5 60.6 Special credits (charges) 13.9 (8.2) (5.2) Operating profit (loss) 29.1 (8.1) (31.5) Income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change 23.9 (17.5) (36.3) Net income (loss) 23.9 (17.5) (35.1) -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Armco received a cash dividend from National-Oilwell of $15.5 in 1994. National-Oilwell maintains its own cash and credit lines and funds its own operations, liabilities and capital expenditures. National-Oilwell has worldwide credit facilities totaling approximately $50.0. The primary facility matures on March 22, 1995, and is expected to be replaced with a new agreement on or before that date. Armco Steel Company, L.P. (ASC) ASC was an equally owned limited partnership, formed in 1989, between subsidiaries of Armco and Kawasaki Steel Corporation. Losses incurred by ASC in subsequent years through 1993 reduced Armco's investment to zero, after which Armco stopped recording its equity in profits or losses related to the operations of ASC. On April 7, 1994, ASC completed an initial public offering and recapitalization. As part of this transaction, the business and assets of ASC were transferred to AK Steel Holding Corporation (AK Steel), a newly formed, publicly traded company. In exchange for its interest in ASC, Armco received 1,023,987 shares of AK Steel common stock, representing approximately four percent of the outstanding shares. Due to the level of ownership interest, Armco does not account for AK Steel under the equity method of accounting, and, as a result, Armco's results will not be affected by AK Steel's future net income or loss. In addition, Armco was released from certain obligations to make future cash payments to the former joint venture. The number of shares received and other terms of the restructuring and recapitalization were determined by arm's-length negotiations. As a result of this transaction, Armco recognized a nonrecurring pretax gain in 1994 of $36.5, primarily as a result of the release from certain obligations, discussed above, and recognition of deferred pension curtailment gains established at ASC's formation. At the same time, Armco reevaluated its deferred tax asset position in light of this transaction and concluded that the amount of deferred tax asset, for which realization of a future benefit is more likely than not, had increased by $30.0. In addition, should Armco decide to sell its shares in AK Steel, it would recognize a gain equal to the net proceeds received upon such sale. At December 31, 1994, the stock held by Armco had a market value of $31.5. The market value of this stock was $26.1 as of January 31, 1995. In 1992, ASC recorded an extraordinary charge of $12.1 to establish an estimated liability for retiree benefits under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act, signed into law during the year. This resulted in Armco recording a charge in Extraordinary losses of $6.1. Under a toll-rolling agreement which is in effect through the year 2002, AK Steel hot rolls stainless steel for Armco. AK Steel continues to purchase stainless steel from Armco's Butler facility. North American Stainless (NAS) Armco and Acerinox S.A. of Spain each owned a 50% partnership interest in NAS through their respective subsidiaries, First Stainless, Inc. and Stainless Steel Invest, Inc. In the third quarter of 1994, First Stainless, Inc. sold 90% of its 50% equity interest in NAS to its partner for $73.0 in cash and Armco recorded a $26.1 gain on the sale. Through its subsidiary, First Stainless, Inc., Armco maintains a 5% limited partnership interest in NAS. In connection with the transaction, Armco entered into an annual supply contract with NAS to provide the former joint venture with semi-finished stainless steel at market prices. 42 ARMCO INC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12: EASTERN STAINLESS CORPORATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armco owns all of the Class A common stock of Eastern Stainless, representing approximately 84% of the outstanding voting rights. Eastern Stainless Class B common stock, which is publicly traded, has the remaining voting rights. In 1994, Eastern Stainless announced a decision to sell substantially all of its assets to Avesta Sheffield for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities (Notes 5 and 9). The Eastern Stainless assets and liabilities to be sold are recorded in Net assets held for sale in Armco's Statement of Consolidated Financial Position. Eastern Stainless had sales of $52.8 and an operating loss of $5.9 during the first nine months of 1994. The payment of dividends on, or the redemption of, Eastern Stainless' Class A common shares and its Class B common shares is subject to certain covenants contained in agreements entered into by Eastern Stainless or Armco. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Eastern Stainless, voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to be paid out of Eastern Stainless' assets an amount in cash equal to $1 per share plus accrued and unpaid fixed and participating dividends or, if sufficient assets are not available for such distributions, a pro-rated share of such lesser amount as may be available, before any distribution to Armco. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, Armco anticipates that Eastern Stainless will have no assets remaining as a corporate legal entity and that it will be dissolved without any distributions to the Class A or Class B shareholders. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13: WORLDWIDE GRINDING SYSTEMS - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armco's former Worldwide Grinding Systems segment consisted of foreign and domestic businesses that produced grinding balls and rods, abrasion-resistant castings, liners, process control systems and carbon wire rods. Armco also participated in grinding system and wire rod joint ventures in the United States and certain foreign countries through this segment. On September 28, 1993, Armco completed the sale of a 50% joint venture interest in several wire-drawing operations and received $33.0 in net cash proceeds. On November 11, 1993, Armco sold the remaining businesses in this segment for $75.0, including certain post closing adjustments, and accordingly, the results of this segment are reported as discontinued operations. Armco recorded a charge of $40.0 for losses and expenses associated with the decision to dispose of this segment, including $5.8 to recognize previously unrealized foreign translation losses. Net sales for the segment were $300.7 in the nine months ended September 30, 1993, and $400.4 in 1992. These amounts are not included in Armco's consolidated net sales. Income from operations in 1992 includes a charge of $19.1 to close unprofitable European foundry operations and reduce salaried work force at the Worldwide Grinding Systems plant in Kansas City, Missouri. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14: QUARTERLY INFORMATION (Unaudited) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is quarterly information for Armco for 1994 and 1993:

126 EX-99 9 EX-99 Exhibit 99 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK General The authorized capital stock of Armco Inc. ("Armco") consists of (i) 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Armco Common Stock"), of which, at February 28, 1995, 105,845,473 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 6,697,231 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, no par value ("Class A Preferred Stock"), issuable in series, of which, at February 28, 1995, 1,697,231 shares of Armco $2.10 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("$2.10 Preferred Stock") were issued and outstanding and 2,700,000 shares of $3.625 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("$3.625 Preferred Stock") were issued and outstanding; and of which 650,000 shares had been designated Participating Preferred Stock (the "Participating Preferred Stock"), none of which were issued; and (iii) 5,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock, par value $1 per share ("Class B Preferred Stock"), issuable in series, of which, at February 28, 1995, 999,900 shares of $4.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("$4.50 Preferred Stock") were issued and outstanding. The Class A Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock are sometimes referred to herein as the "Armco Preferred Stock." No class of authorized capital stock of Armco, including the Armco Common Stock, has preemptive or other subscription rights. Armco is authorized to issue the Armco Preferred Stock in one or more series with such designations, powers, preferences and rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, as are permitted under Armco's Amended Articles of Incorporation and as shall be stated in the resolutions providing for the issue thereof as may be adopted by the Armco Board of Directors. The Class A Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock rank equally, whether or not dividend rates, dividend payment dates, redemption or liquidation prices per share of any series of Class A Preferred Stock differ from those of the Class B Preferred Stock, and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of the amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, in proportion to their respective rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority one over the other. Shares of Class A Preferred Stock which shall have been purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by Armco, including shares which have been converted or exchanged into another class or series of capital stock or other securities of Armco, shall be deemed retired and shall not be reissued or resold. Shares of Class B Preferred Stock purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by Armco will be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued by the Armco Board of Directors. Each issued and outstanding share of Armco Preferred Stock is currently convertible into shares of Common Stock -- each $2.10 Preferred Stock share into 1.27 shares, each $4.50 Preferred Stock share into 2.22 shares and each $3.625 Preferred Stock share into 6.78 shares; provided, that the conversion rights of any shares of Armco Preferred Stock called for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the business day (or on the fifth day, in the case of the $3.625 Preferred Stock) preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless default shall be made in payment of the redemption price. The number of shares of Armco Common Stock into which such Armco Preferred Stock shares are convertible is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, such as splits or combinations of the Armco Common Stock or dividends on the Armco Common Stock paid in Armco Common Stock -1- or non-cash assets. In addition, under certain circumstances involving a Change of Control (as defined in the terms of the $3.625 Preferred Stock), each issued and outstanding share of the $3.625 Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder, for a limited period into a number of shares of Armco Common Stock determined by formula. These special conversion rights of the $3.625 Preferred Stock may deter certain mergers, tender offers or other takeover attempts. On June 27, 1986, the Armco Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one Armco Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Armco Common Stock, payable to holders of Armco Common Stock of record at the close of business on July 7, 1986. Each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from Armco a unit consisting of one two-hundredth of a share of Participating Preferred Stock. Prior to the earlier of the Rights Distribution Date and the Expiration Date (each as hereinafter defined), one Right will be distributed with each share of Armco Common Stock issued. See "Preferred Stock Purchase Rights." The documents defining the terms of the Armco Common Stock, the Rights and the Armco Preferred Stock are available for inspection upon request at the office of the Secretary of Armco. Such documents are also on file with and available for inspection at the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005. The statements set forth below are only summaries of such terms and provisions and reference should be made to such documents and instruments for complete statements of such terms and provisions. Dividend Rights Subject to the prior rights of the holders of Armco Preferred Stock to receive dividends in cash at the rate provided for, and subject to any restrictions or limitations contained in the express terms and provisions of any shares of Armco Preferred Stock, dividends may be declared and paid upon the Armco Common Stock, as and when determined by the Armco Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. At the April 23, 1993, annual meeting, Armco's shareholders voted to reduce the par value of Armco's common stock to $0.01 per share from $1.00 per share. As a result, $102.7 million was transferred from Armco's stated capital account for its common stock to additional paid-in capital, increasing surplus from which Armco is permitted, under Ohio law, to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock issues. Armco is incorporated in Ohio. In addition, effective March 31, 1993, the corporate statute of Ohio was amended to provide that Ohio corporations that recognize immediately the full amount of their transition obligation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), SFAS 106, as Armco did, could increase the amount available for payment of dividends by adding to the corporation's surplus at the time of the dividend the amount of the difference between the reduction in the corporation's surplus that resulted from the immediate recognition of the SFAS 106 transition obligation and the amount of the transition obligation that would have been recognized at the time of the dividend had the corporation elected to amortize its recognition of such transition obligation. At December 31, 1994, the amount from which Armco is permitted to pay dividends under this provision was $143.8 million. The express terms and provisions of the $4.50 Preferred Stock provide that the holders of shares of $4.50 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $4.50 per share before cash dividends are paid on the Armco Common Stock. The express terms and provisions of the $3.625 Preferred Stock provide that the holders of shares of $3.625 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $3.625 per share before cash dividends are paid on the Armco Common Stock. The -2- express terms and provisions of the $2.10 Preferred Stock provide that the holders of shares of $2.10 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $2.10 per share before cash dividends are paid on the Armco Common Stock. If Armco has failed to pay any accrued cumulative dividends on any shares of Armco Preferred Stock or has not paid or declared and provided for the dividends on outstanding shares of Armco Preferred Stock for the then current dividend period, Armco may not purchase or redeem any shares of Armco Common Stock. See "Dividend Payment Restrictions". Any dividends paid by Armco on its capital stock in 1995 will be taxable as ordinary income only to the extent of Armco's 1995 "earnings and profits". Dividends paid in 1995 in excess of Armco's "earnings and profits" will be considered a return of capital and/or capital gain, depending on the holder's tax basis in the capital stock. Voting Rights Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Armco Common Stock, as well as the holders of Class A Preferred Stock, are entitled at all times to one vote for each share of such stock owned by them. Except as set forth below, the holders of Class B Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter. If proper and timely notice is given by any shareholder before the time fixed for holding a meeting for the election of directors that such shareholder desires to cumulate his votes at such election, and if an announcement of the giving of such notice is made upon the convening of the meeting, each shareholder shall have the right to cumulate his votes and give one candidate as many votes as equal the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which he is entitled, or to distribute them on the same principle among as many candidates as such shareholder sees fit. Shareholders who are entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate director candidates for election. Such shareholders must deliver written notice thereof to the Secretary of Armco not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at any annual meeting of shareholders, 90 days prior to the date one year from the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at any special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders. The provision relating to director nomination may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Armco. In the event of a default in the payment of the equivalent of six quarterly dividends payable to holders of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, the respective holders of the outstanding shares of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, voting as a class, are entitled to elect two additional directors to serve on the Armco Board of Directors until such default is cured. In addition, as a prerequisite to the adoption of (i) any amendment of the Armco Amended Articles of Incorporation (the "Armco Articles") materially altering any existing provision of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, such amendment must receive the affirmative approval of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, voting as a class, and (ii) any amendment of the Armco Articles which increases the authorized number of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock or creates any class of shares which ranks equally with or prior to the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, such amendment must receive the affirmative approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A Preferred Stock or the Class B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, voting as a class. -3- Liquidation Rights In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of Armco, the holders of shares of the $4.50 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the assets of Armco, prior to any payment to the holders of Armco Common Stock, the sum of $50 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of payment. In the event of the voluntary liquidation of Armco, the holders of shares of the $2.10 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the assets of Armco, prior to any payment to the holders of Armco Common Stock, the sum of $40 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of payment. In the event of the involuntary liquidation of Armco, the holders of shares of the $2.10 Preferred Stock similarly will be entitled to receive from the assets of Armco the sum of $15 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of payment, prior to any distribution to holders of Armco Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of Armco, the holders of shares of the $3.625 Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the assets of Armco, prior to any payment to the holders of Armco Common Stock, the sum of $50 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of payment. After such payments to the holders of Armco Preferred Stock, any remaining assets available for distribution to common shareholders will be distributed to the holders of the Armco Common Stock pro rata in accordance with their respective shares. Redemptions Shares of the $2.10 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Armco's option for a purchase price of $40 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption. Shares of the $3.625 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Armco's option on or after October 15, 1995 for a purchase price per share starting at $52.5375 and declining, at 12-month intervals, to $50 on and after October 15, 2002, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption. Shares of the $4.50 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Armco's option for a purchase price of $50 per share, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption. Notice of any redemption of shares of Armco Preferred Stock shall be given not less than thirty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed by mail to the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock books of Armco and, if the Armco Board of Directors so determines, by publication of notice in the manner prescribed by the Board of Directors. Dividend Payment and Stock Purchase Restrictions Armco has restrictive covenants under various loan agreements relating to the payment of dividends on, or the purchase of, its capital stock. Under the terms of Armco's existing $170.0 million revolving credit facility, Armco's most restrictive loan agreement in this regard, cash dividends cannot be paid on Armco Common Stock. This Armco credit agreement permits the payment of dividends on the outstanding $4.50 Preferred Stock, the outstanding $3.625 Preferred Stock and the outstanding $2.10 Preferred Stock so long as Armco is not in default under the credit agreement. The existing Armco revolving credit facility currently is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 1995. Under the terms of the indentures for Armco's 11.375% Senior Notes due 1999, and 9.375% Senior Notes due 1999, Armco can pay a dividend on the Armco Common Stock if it meets certain financial tests described in the indentures. Armco does not expect to satisfy these tests described in such indentures during the remainder of 1995. In addition to preventing Armco from paying dividends on the Armco Common Stock, the inability to meet such financial tests prohibits Armco from repurchasing its capital stock. -4- Under Ohio law, Armco is permitted to purchase shares of its capital stock only to the extent it has a capital surplus. At December 31, 1994, Armco had no capital surplus. Preferred Stock Purchase Rights The Rights are issued under a Rights Agreement between Armco and Fifth Third Bank. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase for $35.00 (as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement, the "Exercise Price") from Armco, a unit consisting of one two-hundredth of a share, subject to adjustment, of Participating Preferred Stock. The Rights are currently evidenced by the certificates representing the Armco Common Stock and each outstanding share of Armco Common Stock is, and each share of Armco Common Stock issued prior to the earlier of the Rights Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, as defined below, will be, accompanied by a Right. Except as may otherwise be subsequently determined by the Armco Board of Directors, no shares of Armco Common Stock issued on or after such date will be accompanied by, nor will the holder of such share of Armco Common Stock be entitled to receive, any Right. The Rights currently may be transferred only with the Armco Common Stock and the surrender for transfer of any certificate for Armco Common Stock will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Armco Common Stock represented by such certificate. Upon the earlier of the following (the "Rights Distribution Date") (i) ten days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date") or (ii) ten business days following the date that a tender or exchange offer is first published or sent if it would result in a person or group beneficially owning 30% or more of such outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock, the Rights will become exercisable and separate Rights certificates will be issued. Except as otherwise determined by the Armco Board of Directors, only shares of Armco Common Stock issued prior to the earlier of the Rights Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, as defined below, will be issued with Rights. The Rights are not exercisable until the Rights Distribution Date and will expire at the earlier of the close of business on June 26, 1996 (the "Final Expiration Date") and the time at which the Rights are redeemed by Armco as described below (the earlier of such times is referred to as the "Expiration Date"). In the event that (i) Armco is the surviving corporation in a merger with an Acquiring Person and the Armco Common Stock is not changed or exchanged, (ii) a person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the then outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock (except pursuant to an offer for all the outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock at a price and on terms determined by a majority of the members of the Armco Board of Directors who are not officers of Armco and who are not affiliated with an Acquiring Person to be in the best interests of Armco or in a transaction of the type described in section (i) of the following paragraph), (iii) an Acquiring Person engages in one or more "self- dealing" transactions as set forth in the Rights Agreement or (iv) during such time as there is an Acquiring Person, an event occurs which results in such Acquiring Person's ownership interest being increased by more than 1%, then each holder of a Right will have the right to receive, upon exercise (which shall not be permitted until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by Armco as set forth below), Armco Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, preferred stock, cash, property, other Armco securities or a combination thereof), having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Following the occurrence of any such event described above, all Rights that are, or (under certain -5- circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) Armco enters into a merger or other business combination transaction in which Armco is not the surviving corporation or in which Armco is the surviving corporation and all or part of the then outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock are exchanged for cash, property, stock or other securities of an entity other than Armco (other than such a merger or transaction in which holders of Armco Common Stock receive the same price as in a tender offer or exchange offer approved by a majority of the members of the Armco Board of Directors who are not officers of Armco and who are not affiliated with an Acquiring Person to be in the best interests of Armco) or (ii) 50% or more of Armco's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, then each holder of a then valid Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Rights. Armco may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right, payable in cash, shares of Armco Common Stock or other form of consideration deemed appropriate by the Armco Board of Directors, at any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date. Thereafter, Armco's right of redemption may be reinstated if an Acquiring Person reduces his beneficial ownership to 10% or less of the outstanding shares of Armco Common Stock in a transaction or series of transactions not involving Armco and there is no other Acquiring Person. Under certain circumstances, the decision to redeem the Rights requires the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Directors (those members of the Armco Board of Directors who were members of the Armco Board of Directors prior to June 27, 1986, and any person, other than an Acquiring Person or affiliate thereof, subsequently elected to the Armco Board of Directors who is recommended or approved by a majority of such members). Immediately upon the action of the Armco Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $.01 redemption price. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of Armco, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. Holders of Rights may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable as set forth above. Prior to the Rights Distribution Date, the Armco Board of Directors may amend any provisions of the Rights Agreement, including the terms governing the Rights, other than the price at which Armco can redeem the Rights, the Final Expiration Date, the Exercise Price and the number of one two-hundredth of a share of Participating Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable. After the Rights Distribution Date, such terms may be amended (in certain circumstances, only with the concurrence of the Continuing Directors) only for limited purposes and to limited effects. At any time when the Rights are not redeemable, no amendment shall be made to adjust the time period governing redemption. Participating Preferred Stock The Participating Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will be non-redeemable and will rank in parity with all other series of Armco Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets.
