REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
SPX Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SPX
CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993. 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 financial position of SPX Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the company changed its method of accounting for its Employee
Stock Ownership Plan and Sealed Power Technologies Limited Partnership changed
its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions and
effective January 1, 1992, the company changed its methods of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and for income taxes.

SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and financial policies which affect significant elements of
the consolidated financial statements of SPX Corporation (the "company") and
which are not apparent on the face of the statements, or in other notes to the
consolidated financial statements, are described below.
Restatement -- As a result of the company's purchase of Riken Corporation's
interest in Sealed Power Technologies Limited Partnership ("SPT") as of
December 31, 1993, prior years' consolidated financial statements have been
restated to reflect the company's 49% share of SPT's earnings or losses for
prior years (see Note 5).
Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries after the
elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
Foreign Currency Translation -- Translation of significant subsidiaries
results in unrealized translation adjustments being reflected as cumulative
translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.
Lease Finance Income Recognition -- The company's lease financing operation,
SPX Credit Corporation, uses the direct financing method of accounting for
leases. Under this method, the excess of future lease payments and estimated
residual value over the cost of equipment leased is recorded as unearned
income and is recognized over the life of the lease by the effective
interest method.
Deferred Service Revenue -- Revenue from service contracts and long-term
maintenance arrangements has been deferred and will be recognized as revenue
on a pro rata basis over the agreement periods.
Research and Development Costs -- The company expenses currently all costs
for development of products. Research and developments costs were $17.6
million in 1993, $14.7 million in 1992, and $13.1 million in 1991.
Earnings Per Share -- Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common
shares outstanding includes issued shares less shares held in treasury and,
in 1993, unallocated and uncommitted shares held by the ESOP trust. The
exclusion of unallocated and uncommitted shares held by the ESOP trust in
1993 is due to the company's adoption of Statement of Position 93-6 (see
Note 2). Prior to 1993, unallocated and uncommitted shares held by the ESOP
trust were included in weighted average number of common shares outstanding
used for calculating earnings per share. Average weighted unallocated and
uncommitted shares in the ESOP trust were 1,361,000 shares at the end of
1992 and 1,476,000 shares at the end of 1991. The potential dilutive effect
from the exercise of stock options is not material.
(2) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING METHODS
In 1993 and 1992, the company adopted three new accounting methods relating
to its Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), postretirement benefits, and
income taxes. The effect of the change to these new accounting methods has been
reflected in the consolidated statements of income as "Cumulative effect of
change in accounting methods, net of taxes."
Effective January 1, 1993, the company elected to adopt new accounting for
its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 of the Accounting
Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
issued in November of 1993. As part of this change, the company recorded a one
time cumulative charge of $5.1 million pretax, or $3.3 million after tax. This
charge recognizes the cumulative difference of expense since the inception of
the ESOP until January 1, 1993 to reflect the shares allocated method of
accounting for ESOPs. As the company adopted this accounting change in the
fourth quarter of 1993, previously reported 1993 quarterly information has been
restated to reflect the change effective January 1, 1993. See Note 10 for
further discussion of the effect of this change.
Effective January 1, 1993, SPT adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 106 -- "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions", using the immediate recognition transition option. SFAS
No. 106 requires recognition, during the employees' service with the company, of
the cost of their retiree health and life insurance benefits. At that date, the
full accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was $89.5 million pretax. The
company recorded its 49% share of this transition obligation, $28.5 million, net
of deferred taxes of $15.4 million in the first quarter.
Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted SFAS No. 106 using the
immediate recognition transition option. At January 1, 1992, the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was $16.8 million and was recorded as a pretax
transition obligation. The decrease in net earnings and shareholders' equity was
$10.7 million after a deferred tax benefit of $6.1 million.
Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 -- "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS
No. 109, deferred tax balances are stated at tax rates expected to be in effect
when taxes are actually paid or recovered. The cumulative effect of adoption as
of January 1, 1992 was a $5.0 million after tax benefit.
As of the beginning of 1994, the company must adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits." This standard requires that the cost of benefits provided to former
or inactive employees be

recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. The company does not anticipate
that this standard will materially impact its financial position or results of
operations upon adoption.
(3) SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The company is comprised of three business segments. Specialty Service Tools
includes operations that design, manufacture and market a wide range of
specialty service tools and diagnostic equipment primarily to the global motor
vehicle industry. Original Equipment Components includes operations that design,
manufacture and market component parts for light and heavy duty vehicle markets.
SPX Credit Corporation, a lease financing operation, provides Specialty Service
Tools customers with a leasing option for purchasing more expensive diagnostic
testing, emission testing, and wheel service equipment. SPX Credit Corporation
was created with the purchase of Allen Group Leasing in June of 1993.

(a) Included in the United States revenues are export sales to unconsolidated
customers of $74.4 million in 1993, $64.0 million in 1992 and $55.4 million
in 1991.
(b) 1993 includes a $27.5 million restructuring charge to merge Allen
Testproducts and Bear Automotive into Automotive Diagnostics and a $26.9
million of SPT equity losses.
(c) 1993 includes $21.5 million of SP Europe equity losses.
(d) 1993 includes assets resulting from the consolidation of SP Europe and
assets acquired in the Lowener purchase during the third quarter.
Approximately 9% in 1993, 13% in 1992 and 9% in 1991 of the company's
consolidated sales were made to General Motors Corporation and its various
divisions, dealers and distributors. No other customer or group of customers
under common control accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales for any
of these years. With the effect of the consolidation of SPT, the percentage
sales to General Motors will increase in the future. SPT's sales to General
Motors were 25% in 1993, 27% in 1992 and 31% in 1991. SPT's sales to Ford Motor
Company and it various divisions, dealers and distributors were 23% in 1993, 20%
in 1992 and 15% in 1991. With the consolidation of SPT, sales to Ford should
exceed 10% of consolidated sales in the future.
(4) ACQUISITION--ALLEN TESTPRODUCTS AND ALLEN GROUP LEASING
On June 10, 1993, the company acquired the Allen Testproducts division
("ATP") and its related leasing company, Allen Group Leasing ("AGL"), from the
Allen Group, Inc. for $102 million. ATP is a manufacturer and marketer of
vehicular test and service equipment. This acquisition has been recorded using
the purchase method of accounting, and the results of ATP and AGL have been
included in the company's consolidated statement of income since June 10, 1993.
The purchase price has been allocated to the fair values of the net assets of
ATP and AGL. The purchase price allocations recorded are based upon estimates
available and may be revised at a

later date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired of $16.3 million has been recorded as costs in excess of
net assets acquired and is being amortized over the remaining life of goodwill
from the 1988 acquisition of Bear Automotive (approximately 35 years). The
purchase price allocation was as follows (in millions of dollars):
Current assets........................................................................................... $ 37.7
Property, plant & equipment.............................................................................. 7.5
Leasing assets........................................................................................... 75.8
Cost in excess of net assets acquired.................................................................... 16.3

Financing was obtained by a $50 million note with two banks, a $19.7
million, three year, 8%, note from the seller and the balance by utilizing the
company's existing revolving credit line.
The acquired businesses have been combined with the company's Bear
Automotive division to form a single business unit called Automotive
Diagnostics. In the third quarter of 1993, the company recorded a pretax $27.5
million restructuring charge to provide for substantial reduction in work force
and facilities related to the combination. The restructuring charge was $18.5
million aftertax.
(5) ACQUISITION--SEALED POWER TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("SPT")
Effective December 31, 1993, the company acquired Riken Corporation's 49%
interest in SPT for $39 million. Additionally, SPT will redeem the 2% management
interest in SPT for $2.7 million. The company previously owned 49% of SPT.
Accordingly, the net assets of SPT have been included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993. Prior to this acquisition,
the company accounted for its investment using the equity method. Beginning in
the first quarter of 1994, the results of operations of SPT will be reflected in
the company's consolidated statements of income and cash flows.
SPT designs and manufactures engine parts, castings and filters for the
automotive and heavy duty original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and the
aftermarket. SPT was created in 1989 when the company contributed the Sealed
Power, Contech, Filtran and Hy-Lift divisions to the newly created limited
partnership. SPT obtained nonrecourse financing through a combination of bank
debt and a public offering of subordinated debentures. In exchange for the net
assets of the divisions contributed, the company received $245 million in cash
from the partnership and a 49% interest in the partnership. As the debt incurred
by SPT to fund this transaction was nonrecourse to the company, the company
previously recorded a pretax $91 million gain in 1989, in accordance with
guidance prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force pronouncement 89-7. The cash
distribution to the company resulted in an initial partnership capital deficit.
SPT has had cumulative losses since its inception and, up to December 31, 1993,
the company had carried its investment in SPT at zero. Because the SPT debt was
nonrecourse, the company properly did not reflect its share of the equity losses
of SPT and did not amortize the difference between its investment balance and
its share of SPT's initial partnership capital deficit in its previously
reported financial statements.
As a result of the acquisition of the remaining 51% of SPT, as of December
31, 1993, the company accounted for this transaction as follows:
1. The company recorded this acquisition using step acquisition
accounting. Step acquisition accounting requires that when the company
previously did not record its share of SPT's losses because the company's
investment was zero and now, as a result of additional ownership,
consolidates SPT, the company must retroactively reflect its share of SPT
losses not previously recorded. Accordingly, the financial statements for
the 1993 quarters and prior years were restated to record the company's
previous 49% share of SPT's income or losses, the effect of amortizing
the difference between its investment balance and its share of SPT's
initial partnership capital deficit and an adjustment required to record
the company's previous investment in SPT at historical cost.
2. The 51% of SPT's net assets acquired has been included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1993 at estimated
fair value based upon preliminary information which may be revised at a
later date. The excess of the purchase price (including the acquired
equity deficit of $87.9 million) over the estimated fair values of the
net assets acquired was $97.1 million and has been recorded as costs in
excess of net assets acquired and will be amortized over 40 years.

(6) DIVESTITURES
During 1993, the company sold its Sealed Power Replacement and Truth
divisions.
Sealed Power Replacement ("SPR") -- On October 22, 1993, the company sold
SPR to Federal-Mogul Corporation for approximately $141 million in cash. SPR
distributes engine and undervehicle parts into the U.S. and Canadian
aftermarket. Net proceeds, after income taxes, were approximately $117.5
million. The company recorded a pretax gain of $52.4 million after
transaction and facility reduction expenses, or $32.4 million aftertax. The
proceeds were used to reduce a portion of the company's debt and the excess
invested in short term investments.
Truth -- On November 5, 1993, the company sold Truth to Danks America
Corporation, an affiliate of FKI Industries, Inc. for approximately $92.5
million in cash. In addition, the company will receive an annual royalty
ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% of Truth's annual sales for a five year period
following the closing (cumulatively not to exceed $7.5 million) which will
be recorded as income as received. Truth manufactures and markets window and
door hardware primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Net proceeds, after income
taxes, were approximately $71.6 million. The company recorded a pretax gain
of $53.0 million after transaction expenses, or $31.8 million aftertax. The
proceeds were invested in short term investments.
The final proceeds for these divestitures are based upon the closing balance
sheet of each business which are being completed. Any changes in proceeds as a
result of adjustments to the closing balance sheets are not expected to be
material.
(7) PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)
The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the results of
operations of Allen Testproducts ("ATP") and Allen Group Leasing ("AGL") from

(8) EXTRAORDINARY LOSS
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company determined to refinance both
SPX and SPT debt. As a result, the company recorded an extraordinary charge of
$37.0 million ($24.0 million after taxes) for extinguishment costs associated
with the early retirement of $415 million (principal amount) of debt expected to
be refinanced. The aggregate amount to retire this debt, including existing
unamortized debt placement fees, will be $452 million. See Note 23 for further
discussion of the refinancing.
(9) RESTRUCTURING AND SPECIAL CHARGES
1993 -- During 1993, the company recorded a $27.5 million restructuring
charge for the costs required to merge the Bear Automotive division with Allen
Testproducts, acquired in June of 1993. This charge was recorded in the third
quarter. Of the $27.5 million restructuring charge, approximately $16 million
relates to work force reductions and associated costs. The combined businesses
started with approximately 2,200 employees. That number was reduced to
approximately 1,800 employees at December 31, 1993 and will be at approximately
1,700 employees by the end of the second quarter of 1994. The charge also
included $9.3 million of facility duplication and shutdown costs, including the
write down of excess assets of $4.2 million (non-cash). The balance of the
reserves at December 31, 1993 is approximately $14.5 million, which is
principally required for remaining work force reduction and facility closing
costs.
1991 -- In the third quarter of 1991, the company recorded a pretax special
charge of $18.2 million which included; a $6.0 million charge associated with
organizational and facility consolidation of two operating units which included
employment reductions and facility closings; a $6.5 million charge-off of
certain capitalized computer software development costs due to conceptual
changes in future product offerings whereby these costs are more appropriately
characterized as general software development; a $1.4 million net charge
associated with consummation of two transactions with an overseas partner that
relate to further globalization of the company's automotive original equipment
affiliated businesses; and a $4.3 million charge for losses, resulting
principally from recessionary conditions, on certain project development
investments and notes receivable related to previous sales of certain business
units.
(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
The company has defined benefit pension plans which cover substantially all
domestic employees. These plans provide pension benefits that are principally
based on the employees' years of credited service and levels of earnings.
Contributions in excess of pension expense are considered prepayments for
financial accounting purposes. The company has determined that foreign defined
pension plans are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

As part of the divestitures of the SPR and Truth divisions, the company
recorded curtailment gains of $4.1 million. These gains have been included in
the gain recognized on the sale of these divisions.
POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE
Prior to 1992, postretirement health care and life insurance benefits were
recognized as expense when claims or premiums were paid. In 1992, the company
adopted SFAS No. 106. These costs totaled $958,000 in 1991. The following
summarizes the 1993 and 1992 expense for postretirement health and life
insurance (in thousands):
1993 1992

Interest cost on accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation.............................. 1,338 1,306
------- -------
Postretirement benefit cost.................................................................. $ 1,591 $18,450
------- -------
------- -------
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was actuarially determined
based on assumptions regarding the discount rate and health care trend rates.
The health care trend assumption applies to postretirement medical and dental
benefits. Different trend rates are used for pre-age 65 and post-age 65 medical
claims and for expected dental claims. The trend rate used for the medical plan
was 15% initially, grading to a 6% ultimate rate by 1% each year for pre-65
claims; and 10.5% grading to 6% by .5% each year for post-age 65 claims. The
trend rate for the dental plan was 6% each year. The liability was discounted
using a 7.5% interest rate. Increasing the health care trend rate by one
percentage point would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by $.7 million and would increase the 1993 postretirement benefit
cost by $.1 million.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")
In June 1989, the company established an ESOP, which includes substantially
all domestic employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The ESOP
borrowed $50 million, which is guaranteed by the company, and used the proceeds
to purchase 1,746,725 shares of common stock issued directly by the company.
Employees vest in these shares based upon a predetermined formula. Employees may
vote allocated shares directly, while the ESOP trustee will vote the unallocated
shares proportionally on the same basis as the allocated shares were voted.
During 1993, 1992 and 1991, 114,588, 114,735 and 114,870 shares were allocated
to the employees, leaving 1,246,346 unallocated shares in the ESOP trust at
December 31, 1993. The fair market value of these unallocated shares was $22.1
million at December 31, 1993. The company's contributions to the ESOP trust were

With the change in ESOP accounting in 1993, compensation expense is now
measured using the fair market value when the shares are committed to the
employee. Interest expense represents the actual interest paid by the ESOP trust
and any dividends paid on unallocated shares in the trust are recorded as direct
debt principal payments rather than as dividends.
OTHER
The company provides defined contribution pension plans for substantially
all employees not covered by defined benefit pension plans. Collectively, the
company's contributions to these plans were $683,000 in 1993, $848,000 in 1992
and $580,000 in 1991.
The company provides a Retirement Savings Plan for eligible employees.
Employees can contribute up to 15% of their earnings with the company matching a
portion of the amount up to 6% of their earnings. The company's contribution to
this plan was $875,000 in 1993, $715,000 in 1992 and $725,000 in 1991. Starting
in 1994, the company matching contribution will consist of unallocated ESOP
shares.

(11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since the creation of SPT on May 30, 1989, the company has continued to
provide certain administrative and insurance services to SPT. The costs
associated with these services are identified and recovered from the
partnership.
In addition, the company's former Sealed Power Replacement division
purchased replacement engine parts, principally piston rings, cylinder sleeves
and valve lifters from SPT at arm's-length prices. Purchases from the
partnership during 1993 through October 22 (date of sale of SPR), 1992 and 1991
were $21.5 million, $27.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively.

The company has a three year agreement, expiring in April 1994, with a
financial institution whereby the company agreed to sell undivided fractional
interests in designated pools of domestic trade accounts receivable, in an
amount not to exceed $30 million. In order to maintain the balance in the
designated pools of trade accounts receivable sold, the company sells
participating interests in new receivables as existing receivables are
collected. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the company had sold $25.9 million and
$30 million of trade accounts receivable under this program. Under the terms of
this agreement, the company is obligated to pay fees which approximate the
purchasers' cost of issuing a like amount in commercial paper plus certain
administrative costs. The amount of such fees in 1993 and 1992 were $1,215,000
and $1,465,000 respectively. These fees are included in other expense, net.
(13) INVENTORIES
Domestic inventories, amounting to $122.6 and $141.3 million at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively, are based on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Such inventories, if priced on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, would have
been approximately $17.7 and $34.8 million greater at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively. During 1993 and 1992, certain inventory quantities were
reduced resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower
costs prevailing in prior years. The effect was to increase net income in 1993
by $455,000 and in 1992 by $1.8 million. Foreign inventories are valued at FIFO
costs. None of the inventories exceed realizable values.

No provision has been made for income and withholding taxes which would
become payable upon distribution of the undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries and affiliates. It is the company's present intention to
permanently reinvest these earnings in its foreign operations. The amount of
undistributed earnings which have been reinvested in foreign subsidiaries and
affiliates at December 31, 1993, was $26.7 million. It is not practical to
determine the hypothetical U.S. federal income tax liability if all such
earnings were remitted, but distribution as dividends at the end of 1993 would
have resulted in payment of withholding taxes of approximately $1.4 million.

Included on the consolidated balance sheets are U.S. federal income tax
refunds of $5.6 million in 1993 and $3.0 million in 1992.
At December 31, 1993, the company has net operating loss carryforwards
attributable to foreign operations of approximately $32.5 million that are
available to offset future taxable income. These loss carryforwards expire as
follows: $.6 million in 1994, $0 in 1995, $0 in 1996, $2.4 million in 1997, $1.5
million in 1998 and $28.0 million thereafter. During 1993, the company utilized
$2.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards attributable to foreign
operations, resulting in tax benefits of $1.2 million. The deferred tax asset
related to the net operating loss carryforwards have been reserved in the
valuation allowance.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company settled a dispute with the
Internal Revenue Service regarding the company's tax deferred treatment of the
1989 transaction in which several operating units were contributed to SPT. The
settlement of approximately $5 million in tax eliminates the IRS contention that
one half of the 1989 transaction was currently taxable. The settlement and
interest will be paid during the second quarter of 1994 and is adequately
provided for in the company's deferred income tax accounts.
(15) INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 1993, investments, as shown on the consolidated balance
sheet, include equity investments in non-majority owned subsidiaries. These
investments include the company's 50% owned interest in a U.S. joint venture,
two 50% owned interests in joint ventures in Japan, a 40% interest in a Mexican
company and a 50% interest in a German company. All of these investments are
accounted for using the equity method. These investments, both individually and
collectively, are not material to the company's consolidated financial
statements.
Until December 31, 1993, the company held a 49% interest in SPT. The pro
rata share of earnings or losses and the amortization of the company's
investment in SPT is reflected as "SPT equity losses" on the consolidated
statements of income (see Note 5).
Until December 31, 1993, the company reported that it held a 50% interest in
SP Europe. As of December 31, 1993, Riken's pending 20% participation in SP
Europe reverted to the company in connection with the transaction to acquire
Riken's 49% interest in SPT. SP Europe had not been previously consolidated due
to the company's deemed temporary control and because nonrecourse (to the
partners)

financing was being pursued. Up to December 31, 1993, the company carried its
investment in SP Europe at zero. Due to the resulting 70% ownership, the company
is recording its share of cumulative losses since the partnership formation in
mid-1991 of $21.5 million. As of December 31, 1993, the balance sheet of this
partnership is included in the consolidated financial statements, reflecting the
company's 70% ownership and Mahle GmbH's 30% minority interest. Beginning in the
first quarter of 1994, results of operations of SP Europe will be reflected in
the consolidated statements of income and cash flows.
(16) PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT AND RELATED ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION
The company uses principally the straight line method for computing
depreciation expense over the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment.
For income tax purposes, the company uses accelerated methods where permitted.
Asset additions and improvements are added to the property accounts while
maintenance and repairs, which do not renew or extend the lives of the
respective assets, are expensed currently. Upon sale or retirement of
depreciable properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the property accounts. The net gain or loss on disposition of
property is reflected in income.
Changes in property, plant, and equipment accounts and in related
accumulated depreciation for the three years ended December 31, 1993 were as
follows:

(17) COSTS IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, total costs in excess of net assets of
businesses acquired were $223.3 and $113.2 million, respectively, and
accumulated amortization of costs in excess of net assets of businesses acquired
was $19.2 and $18.3 million, respectively. The increase is attributable to the
acquisition of ATP and AGL, $16.3 million, and the acquisition of 51% of SPT,
$97.1 million. Amortization was $3.4 million in 1993, $3.4 million in 1992 and
$3.1 million in 1991.
The company amortizes costs in excess of the net assets of businesses
("goodwill") acquired on a straight-line method over the estimated periods
benefitted, not to exceed 40 years. After an acquisition, the company
continually reviews whether subsequent events and circumstances have occurred
that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of goodwill may warrant
revision or that the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. If
events and circumstances indicate that goodwill related to a particular business
should be reviewed for possible impairment, the company uses projections to
assess whether future operating income on a non-discounted basis (before
goodwill amortization) of the unit is likely to exceed the goodwill amortization
over the remaining life of the goodwill, to determine whether a writedown of
goodwill to recoverable value is appropriate.
At December 31, 1993, $74 million of goodwill relates to the Automotive
Diagnostics division (which is composed of Bear Automotive and Allen
Testproducts, which was acquired in 1993). This division has incurred
significant operating losses in 1993 and in prior years. The company projects
that, in the near future, the cost savings, market synergies and other factors
which, in part, will be realized from the Bear Automotive and Allen Testproducts
combination will result in non-discounted operating income sufficient to exceed
goodwill amortization. However, should such projections require downward
revision based on changed events or circumstances, this division's goodwill may
require writedown. Although having no cash flow impact, the resulting charge, if
any, could materially reduce the company's future reported results of operations
and shareholders' equity. At this time, based upon present information,
projections and strategic plans, the company has concluded that there has been
no permanent impairment of the Automotive Diagnostics division's tangible or
intangible assets.
(18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The company leases certain offices, warehouses and equipment under lease
agreements which expire at various dates through 2006. Future minimum rental
commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are $10.9 million for 1994,
$8.8 million for 1995, $6.3 million for 1996, $4.0 million for 1997, $2.9
million for 1998 and aggregate $14.5 million thereafter. Rentals on these leases
were approximately $12.9 million in 1993, $9.3 million in 1992 and $10.8 million
in 1991.
Certain claims, including environmental matters, suits and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are pending
against the company. In the opinion of management, all such matters are without
merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a
significant effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
company if disposed of unfavorably. Additionally, the company has insurance to
minimize its exposures of this nature.
The company's operations and products are subject to federal, state and
local regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is the
company's policy to comply fully with all such applicable requirements. As part
of its effort to comply, management has established an ongoing internal
compliance auditing program which has been in place since 1989. Based on current
information, management believes that the company's operations are in
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and
the company is not aware of any violation that could have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the
company. There can be no assurance, however, that currently unknown matters, new
laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and
regulations will not materially affect the company's business or operations in
the future.
The company is also subject to potential liability for the costs of
environmental remediation. This liability may be based upon the ownership or
operation of industrial facilities where contamination may be found as well as
contribution to contamination existing at offsite, non-owned facilities. These
offsite remediation costs cannot be quantified with any degree of certainty. At
this time, management can estimate the environmental remediation costs only in
terms of possibilities and probabilities based on available information.
The company is involved as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the
Comprehensive, Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
("CERCLA"), as amended, or similar state superfund statutes in eight active
proceedings involving off-site waste disposal facilities. At three of these
sites it has been established that the company is a de minimis contributor. A
determination has not been made with respect to the remaining five sites, but
the company believes that it will be found to be a de minimis contributor at
three of them. Based on information available to the company, which in most
cases includes estimates from PRPs and/or federal or state regulatory agencies
for the investigation, clean up costs at these sites, data related to the
quantities and characteristics of materials generated at or shipped to each
site, the company believes that the costs for each site are not material and in
total the anticipated clean up costs of current PRP actions would not have a
material adverse effect on the company's financial condition or operations.
In the case of contamination existing upon properties owned or controlled by
the company, the company has established reserves which it deems adequate to
meet its current remediation obligations.
There can be no assurance that the company will not be required to pay
environmental compliance costs or incur liabilities that may be material in
amount due to matters which arise in the future or are not currently known to
the company.
During 1988, the company's Board of Directors adopted executive severance
agreements which create certain liabilities in the event of the termination of
the covered executives following a change of control of the company. The
aggregate commitment under these executive severance agreements should all 7
covered employees be terminated is approximately $10 million.

Revolving credit loans, under revolving credit agreements dated July 1, 1991
as amended, aggregating $75 million with five banks, have terms of one year.
During the period of the revolving credit loans, the borrowings will bear
interest at negotiated rates not to exceed prime. The company has agreed to pay
the banks commitment fees of 3/8% per annum of the unused portion of the credit
commitments. The credit agreements do not require the company to maintain any

reduced in amount or terminated at any time at the option of the company. At
December 31, 1993, the company had unused lines of revolving credit of $75
million. This facility was replaced by a new revolving credit agreement dated
March 1994 (see Note 23).
The company has guaranteed a note purchase agreement with certain insurance
companies under its ESOP. This loan bears interest at 9.04%. Principal is
payable in fifteen annual installments commencing June 1990. The company's

ESOP trust enable the trust to make interest and principal payments.
Additionally, dividends on the ESOP's unallocated shares are used to make
interest and principal payments and are deductible for income tax purposes.
Dividends on unallocated shares were $545,000 in 1993, $590,000 in 1992 and
$1,113,000 in 1991. Beginning in 1993, as a result of new ESOP accounting, these
dividends are no longer reflected as dividends in the consolidated financial
statements and are accounted for as direct principal payments. This facility
will be terminated by the end of March 1994 and will be replaced by the new
revolving credit agreement.
The company is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under the
various debt agreements. At December 31, 1993 without consideration of the
availability of the new revolving credit agreement, the company is in default on
the following restrictive covenants due to the consolidation of SP Europe and
the purchase of Riken's 49% ownership interest in SPT; (a) the company is
required to maintain a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 1.5 to 1.0, at
December 31, 1993 it is .54 to 1.0, (b) the company is required to maintain
consolidated net tangible assets of at least 160% of consolidated funded
indebtedness, at December 31, 1993 it is 122%, (c) the company will not declare
dividends that exceed the sum of $40 million plus cumulative consolidated net
income since May 31, 1989, at December 31, 1993, cumulative dividends exceeded
the limitation by $32 million, and (d) the company is required to maintain
consolidated current assets of at least 150% of current liabilities, at December
31, 1993 it was 130%. These restrictive covenant defaults pertain to the $53
million of senior notes, the $22 million of senior notes, the $75 million
revolving credit line, the $19.7 million note to the Allen Group, Inc. and the
guaranteed $42.1 million ESOP note and make the debt payable on demand should
the conditions of default continue after notification. However, in March 1994,
the company obtained a new revolving credit facility of $250 million and will
utilize this facility to repay this defaulted debt (see Note 23). As the new
credit facility expires in 1999, the debt existing at December 31, 1993 has been
classified as long-term.
Included in interest expense, net, was $1.5 million in 1993, $0.5 million in
1992 and $0.5 million in 1991 of interest income.
SPT
The Term Bank Loan and the Revolving Credit Loans are provided by a
syndicate of ten banks. SPT has unused available credit of up to $25 million on
the revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 1993, subject to receivable
and inventory balances. Additionally, $16 million of financing is available
through the Deferred Term Loan Facility under the Bank Credit Agreement to make
payments on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility should funds not be
sufficient to make scheduled amortization payments due under the Term Loan
Facility. SPT also has $5 million available on a swingline loan facility used to
manage daily cash receipts and disbursements. Loans under this facility are
payable in 5 days. Management believes the facilities are adequate to cover the
1994 financing requirements of SPT.
SPT has entered into hedging arrangements which fix the interest rate of
approximately $70 million of the bank borrowings at 11 1/2% for a period
ranging from one to three years. The unhedged bank loans bear interest at
1 1/4% over the prime rate or 2 1/4% over the LIBOR rate. The rates are set,
at SPT's option, for various periods up to one year in length. Substantially all
of SPT's assets are pledged as collateral for loans under the Bank Credit
Agreement.
SPT is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under the Bank Credit
Agreement, as amended, and the Indenture related to the subordinated debentures.
Under the most restrictive of these covenants as of year-end, SPT must: (a) meet
a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1; (b) meet a cash interest expense
coverage ratio of 1.90 to 1; (c) meet a current ratio of 1.5 to 1; and (d) limit
capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 1993 to $18 million. At
year-end, SPT's actual fixed charge ratio was 1.12 to 1; its cash interest
expense coverage ratio was 2.04 to 1; its current ratio was 1.5 to 1 and net
capital expenditures were approximately $17.8 million. The cash interest expense
coverage ratio becomes more restrictive in future periods. The covenants also
restrict distributions to the partners.
Financing costs incurred by SPT were being amortized over the life of the
respective borrowings. Amortization of $1.2 million was recorded in 1993, 1992
and 1991 with the remaining $3.9 million written off as part of the debt
extinguishment charge (see Note 8).
At December 31, 1993, substantially all of SPT's assets are pledged as
collateral under SPT's bank credit agreements. The distribution of these assets,
as well as partnership distributions, to the company from SPT are restricted.
The company's planned second quarter issuance of $260 million of senior
subordinated notes and concurrent payment to the SPT lenders will remove this
restriction. Should the notes not be issued, the SPT indebtedness will remain in
place, including the restrictions.

The company's treasury stock was purchased in the last half of 1989 at an
average cost of $30 5/8 per share using $50 million of proceeds from the
creation of the company's leveraged ESOP.
The company has 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value,
authorized, but no shares have been issued.
In June 1989, the company established an employee stock ownership plan
(ESOP). 1,746,725 shares of common stock were issued to the ESOP trust in
exchange for $50 million. These shares were issued at market value ($28 5/8 per
share) and the appropriate amounts are included in common stock and paid in
capital.
The company restated, amended and renamed its 1982 Stock Option Plan to the
1992 Stock Compensation Plan, effective December 15, 1992. Under the new Stock
Compensation Plan, up to 700,000 shares of the company's common stock may be
granted to key employees with those shares still available for use under the
1982 Stock Option Plan being carried forward and forming a part of the 700,000
shares. Awards of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights (SAR's), performance units and restricted stock may be made
under the Plan although no more than 200,000 shares may be granted in the form
of restricted stock. The Plan also authorizes the granting of stock options to
directors.
Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options at an option price per share of no less
than the fair market value of the common stock of the company on the date of
grant. The options become exercisable six months after the date of the grant and
expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant (or 10 years and 1 day with
respect to nonqualified stock options).
SAR's may be granted to key employees either in conjunction with the
awarding of nonqualified stock options or on a stand-alone basis. The SAR's
entitle the holder to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair
market value of a share of common stock of the company over the exercise price
of the right at the date of exercise of the right.
Performance units, which are equivalent to a share of common stock, may be
granted to key employees and may be earned, in whole or in part, dependent upon
the attainment of performance goals established at the time of grant.
Restricted stock may be granted to key individuals to recognize or foster
extraordinary performance, promotion, recruitment or retention. At the time of
the grant, restrictions are placed on ownership of the shares for a stated
period of time during which a participant will not be able to dispose of the
restricted shares. Upon lapse of the restriction period, complete ownership is
vested in the participant and the shares become freely transferable.

Preferred stock is issuable in series with the Board of Directors having the
authority to determine, among other things, the stated value of each series,
dividend rate, conversion rights and preferences in liquidation or redemption.
On June 25, 1986, the company entered into a Rights Agreement which was
amended and restated as of October 20, 1988. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement,
in July 1986, the company issued a dividend of one preferred stock purchase
right on each outstanding share of common stock. Each right entitles the holder,
upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase one one-hundredth of a share
of a new series of junior participating preferred stock for $100. Furthermore,
if the company is involved in a merger or other business combination at any time
after the rights become exercisable, the rights will entitle the holder to buy
the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a market
value of twice the then current exercise price of each right. Alternatively, if
a 20% or more shareholder acquires the company by means of a reverse merger in
which the company and its stock survive, or engages in self-dealing transactions
with the company, or if any person acquires 20% or more of the company's common
stock, then each right not owned by a 20% or more shareholder will become
exercisable for the number of shares of common stock of the company having a
market value of twice the then current exercise price of each right. The rights,
which do not have voting rights, expire on July 15, 1996, and may be redeemed by
the company at a price of $.05 per right at any time prior to their expiration.
(21) SPX CREDIT CORPORATION
In June of 1993, the company acquired Allen Group Leasing from The Allen
Group Inc. (see Note 4). The company's SP Financial division was merged with
this lease financing unit and has been renamed SPX Credit Corporation ("SPX
CC"). SPX CC provides direct financing leasing alternatives to primarily
electronic diagnostic, emissions testing, and wheel service equipment customers
in the United States and Canada.
SPX CC purchases equipment for lease to others from the company's Specialty
Service Tools divisions, its sole supplier, at prices comparable to those to
third parties. The aggregate cost of equipment purchased from Specialty Service
Tools divisions amounted to approximately $16.0 million in 1993. The company's
Specialty Service Tools divisions charge a commission representing an
origination fee for providing leases and for the cost of services provided to
SPX CC with respect to the negotiation and consummation of new leases in the
amount of $521,000 for 1993 (since the acquisition). SPX CC has an agreement
with Specialty Service Tools divisions for the repurchase of repossessed
equipment at amounts determined to approximate realizable value by the Specialty
Service Tools divisions. In 1993 (since the acquisition), approximately $5.8
million of equipment was repurchased under this agreement.

million in 1996, $10.3 million in 1997 and $3.5 million in 1998.
Essentially all of SPX CC's direct financing lease receivables are with
companies or individuals operating within the automotive repair industry,
including automotive dealerships, garages and similar repair and inspection
facilities, and approximately one-third of lease receivables are with lessees
located in the state of California.
The company has a program whereby certain lease receivables are sold to
financial institutions with limited recourse. In the event of default by a
lessee, the financial institution has recourse equal to their net lease
receivable. In return, the company receives the collateralized lease equipment.
In 1993, 1992 and 1991, $5,613,000, $21,390,000 and $18,705,000 of gross lease
receivables were sold to financial institutions generating revenues of $846,000,
$1,386,000 and $2,936,000. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, financial institutions
held lease receivables, which are subject to limited recourse, of $42,766,000
and $49,235,000. Correspondingly, allowances for recourse liabilities, net of

(23) SUBSEQUENT EVENT -- REFINANCING
Late in the fourth quarter of 1993, the company determined that virtually
all existing SPX and SPT debt should be refinanced in anticipation of the
purchase of Riken's 49% interest in SPT, due to favorable prevailing interest
rates, scheduled and accelerated debt maturities, and to maintain the
flexibility of the company to grow through internal investments and
acquisitions. The plan of refinancing (the "Refinancing") includes two elements,
a new $225 million revolving bank facility and the issuance of $260 million of
senior subordinated notes. The Refinancing is expected to be completed by the
end of the second quarter of 1994.
In March of 1994, the first portion of the Refinancing was completed when
the company closed a $250 million revolving credit facility with The First
National Bank of Chicago, as agent for a syndicate of banks. This revolving
credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% or the prime rate (at the
company's option) and expires in 1999. Upon completion of the senior
subordinated note offering, this revolving credit facility is to be reduced to
$225 million of maximum availability. Proceeds from this revolving credit
facility will be used to extinguish SPX debt as follows: Senior Notes
aggregating $75 million, the $19.7 million note to the Allen Group, the
company's ESOP trust's note of $42.1 million and $68 million of miscellaneous
debt, much of which was technically in default of covenant provisions. Also,
$15.2 million of letters of credit securing the Industrial Revenue Bonds were
renegotiated.
By June 30, 1994, the company expects to have completed its $260 million
offering of senior subordinated notes. These notes are anticipated to bear
interest at a rate of approximately 10% and will be due in or after the year
2002. At that time, the proceeds will be used to retire existing SPT borrowings,
including the $100 million of 14.5% senior subordinated debentures, the Term
Bank Loan, and the revolving credit loans. Excess proceeds will be used to pay
down the company's new revolving credit facility at that time.
The revolving credit agreement contains covenants, the most restrictive of
which are as follows: (a) maintain a leverage ratio of 78% in 1994, declining on
a graduated scale to 65% in 1999, (b) maintain an interest expense coverage
ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 in 1994 rising on a graduated scale to 3.5 to 1.0 in 1998
and thereafter, (c) maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in
the revolving credit agreement, of 1.75 to 1.0 in 1994 and 1995, and 2.0 to 1.0
thereafter, and (d) dividends are limited to $8 million for the five quarters
starting with the first quarter of 1994, and are limited to 10% of operating
income plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) thereafter. The revolving
credit agreement also limits capital expenditures, investments, and transactions
with affiliates.
If the company does not issue senior subordinated notes, provisions have
been made so that the revolving credit facility will remain at $250 million and
the rate of interest would become LIBOR plus 1.5% or the prime rate plus .5% (at
the company's option) and the facility would be secured by substantially all of
SPX's assets. Also, the existing SPT debt would remain outstanding in its
current form, including security interests in SPT's assets. The financial
covenants, the most restrictive of which, will require the company (excluding
SPT) to: (a) maintain a leverage ratio of 55% in 1994 and 1995, and 50%
thereafter, (b) maintain an interest expense coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 in
1994, 4.0 to 1.0 in 1995 and 5.0 to 1.0 thereafter, (c) maintenance of a fixed
charge coverage ratio, as defined in the revolving credit agreement, of 2.0 to
1.0 in 1994, 1995 and 1996 and 2.25 to 1.0 thereafter, and (d) dividends
declared before March 31, 1995 and paid before June 30, 1995 are limited to $8
million, and thereafter are limited to 10% of operating income plus depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA) during the preceding twelve months. The revolving
credit agreement also limits capital expenditures, investments, transactions
with affiliates, and transactions with SPT.

(25) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of an estimate of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions
were used by the company in estimating its fair value disclosures:
Cash and temporary cash investments: The carrying amount reported on the
consolidated balance sheet approximates its fair value.
Lease Finance Receivables: The carrying amount, which is net of deferred
future lease finance income and reserves for credit losses, approximates fair
value.
Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt and Long-term debt:
The fair value of the company's debt either approximates its carrying value or
represents the carrying value plus the early extinguishment costs to be paid in
the first quarter of 1994 or to be paid during the second quarter of 1994.
Interest rate swaps: The fair value represents the early extinguishment
costs required to terminate the arrangement in 1994.
Letters of Credit: The company utilizes letters of credit to back certain
financing instruments and insurance policies. The Letters of Credit reflect fair
value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees
competitively determined in the marketplace.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Sealed Power Management Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sealed
Power Technologies Limited Partnership (a Delaware limited partnership) and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership'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 financial position of Sealed Power Technologies
Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership changed its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits to adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions."

SEALED POWER TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Sealed Power Technologies Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Sealed
Power Technologies") began operating at the end of May 1989, upon completion of
a plan in which SPX Corporation ("SPX") contributed the Sealed Power, Contech,
Filtran and Hy-Lift divisions of SPX (the "Contributed Operations") to the
Partnership. SPX retained a 49% interest in the Partnership. The Partnership
obtained financing on the basis of the Contributed Operations through a
combination of bank debt and subordinated debentures (the "Financing") with no
recourse to SPX. Proceeds from the Financing of $245 million were distributed by
the Partnership to SPX at the end of May 1989. SPX retained $15 million of
accounts receivable from the Contributed Operations. The transactions described
above are collectively referred to as the "Transactions."
The consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of
the Sealed Power, Contech, Hy-Lift and Filtran divisions of Sealed Power
Technologies Limited Partnership and two wholly owned subsidiaries and are
stated on the basis of historical cost at the time of contribution. Prior to May
31, 1989, the assets and liabilities of the Sealed Power, Contech, Hy-Lift, and
Filtran divisions were part of SPX and had no separate legal status.
Effective December 31, 1993, SPX acquired Riken Corporation's 49% interest
in Sealed Power Technologies for $39 million. Additionally, the Partnership
intends to redeem the 2% management interest in Sealed Power Technologies for
approximately $3 million. As a result of this transaction, SPX is accounting for
Sealed Power Technologies as a wholly owned subsidiary beginning with the
consolidation of the Sealed Power Technologies balance sheet as of December 31,
1993.
(2) SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and financial policies which affect significant elements of
the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership and which are not
apparent on the face of the statements, or in other notes to consolidated
financial statements, are described below.
A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sealed Power
Technologies and wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain amounts shown for 1992 and 1991
have been reclassified to conform with the 1993 presentation in order to provide
a more meaningful basis for comparison with 1993.
B. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material,
labor and factory overhead. Inventories are based on the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method. Inventories, if priced on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method,
which approximates market, would have been approximately $6,995,000 and
$8,761,000 greater at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1993,
1992 and 1991, certain inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in
liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs. The effect was
to increase income by $1,453,000, $1,554,000 and $1,560,000 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.
C. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The Partnership principally uses the straight-line method for computing
depreciation expense. For income tax purposes, the Partnership generally has
used accelerated methods where permitted.
Asset additions and improvements are added to the property accounts at cost
while maintenance and repairs which do not renew or extend the lives of the
respective assets are expensed currently. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable
properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts. The net gain or loss on disposition of property is credited or charged
to income.
D. DEFERRED CHARGES
Pre-operating costs of $8,154,000 are being amortized on a straight line
basis over a period of five years. The accumulated amortization of these costs
were $7,425,000, $5,805,000 and $4,185,000 as of December 31, 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.
E. INCOME TAXES
As a limited partnership, Sealed Power Technologies is not liable for state
or federal income taxes. Subject to certain restrictions, the Partnership will
distribute cash to the partners in an amount that approximates the tax liability
of the partners' arising from the operations of the Partnership. The Partnership
expects to distribute approximately $5 million in 1994 relating to 1993 taxable
income. The Partnership distributed $2.3 million in 1993 relating to 1992
taxable income. No distributions were required for 1991 or 1990.
F. PARTNERS' CAPITAL
The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Sealed Power Management
Corp. SPX owns 96% of the limited partnership interest and a 2% general
partnership interest in the Partnership. Members of management of the
Partnership collectively own approximately a 2% limited partnership interest.
Earnings or losses of the Partnership are shared by the general and limited
partners in proportion to their ownership interests. Partnership interests are
subject to restrictions and are not publicly traded.

Long-term debt at December 31, 1993 and 1992, consisted of the following:

Term bank loan, with interest rates established periodically based on prime or LIBOR
rates, due in varying quarterly installments through September 30, 1996................. 78,863 98,925

Less: current maturities.................................................................. 26,693 19,159
-------- --------
$183,513 $199,144
-------- --------
-------- --------
The Term Bank Loan and the Revolving Credit Loans are provided by a
syndicate of ten banks. The Partnership has available up to $25 million of
revolving credit as of December 31, 1993, subject to receivable and inventory
balances. Additionally, $16 million of financing is available through the
Deferred Term Loan Facility under the Bank Credit Agreement to make payments on
borrowings under the Term Loan Facility should funds not be sufficient to make
scheduled amortization payments due under the Term Loan Facility. The
Partnership also has $5 million available on a swingline loan facility used to
manage daily cash receipts and disbursements. Loans under this facility are
payable in 5 days. Management believes the facilities are adequate to cover the
1994 cash requirements of the Partnership.
The Partnership has entered into hedging arrangements which fix the interest
rate of approximately $70 million of the bank borrowings at 11 1/2% for a period
ranging from one to three years. The unhedged bank loans bear interest at 1 1/4%
over the prime rate or 2 1/4% over the LIBOR rate. The rates are set, at the
option of the Partnership, for various periods up to one year in length.
Substantially all assets of the Partnership are pledged as collateral for loans
under the Bank Credit Agreement.
The Partnership is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under the
Bank Credit Agreement, as amended, and the Indenture related to the subordinated
debentures. Under the most restrictive of these covenants as of year-end, the
Partnership must: (a) meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1; (b) meet
a cash interest expense coverage ratio of 1.90 to 1; (c) meet a current ratio of
1.5 to 1; and (d) limit net capital expenditures for the year ended December 31,
1993, to $18 million. At year end, the Partnership's actual fixed charge ratio
was 1.12 to 1; its cash interest expense coverage ratio was 2.04 to 1; its
current ratio was 1.5 to 1 and net capital expenditures were approximately $17.8
million. The cash interest expense coverage ratio becomes more restrictive in
future periods. The covenants also restrict distributions to the partners.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", the Partnership is required to
report the amounts at which its debt securities could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The fair market value of the Partnership's senior subordinated debentures was
$108,000,000 at December 31, 1993. With respect to the term loan and related
hedging agreement, the Partnership has determined that the book value is not
materially different than the fair market value.
Financing costs incurred by the Partnership at the time of the Transactions
are being amortized over the life of the respective borrowings. Amortization of
$1.2 million was recorded in 1993, 1992 and 1991.
The aggregate amounts of long-term debt due in each of the next five years
are as follows:
YEAR AMOUNT DUE
---- -----------------------
(THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
1994................................................................... $26,693
1995................................................................... 28,906
1996................................................................... 54,607
1997................................................................... 0
1998................................................................... 50,000
Thereafter............................................................. 50,000
The aggregate amount of cash payments for interest for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $25.9 million, $28.1 million and $30.9
million, respectively.

(4) PENSION PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Upon the contribution of the net assets from SPX to the Partnership on May
31, 1989, the Partnership assumed the liability for employees' prior service
with SPX and the pension funds associated with those liabilities.
The policy of the Partnership is to record pension expense in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 subject to the minimum
funding requirements of ERISA. Contributions in excess of pension expense are
considered prepayments for financial accounting purposes.
Substantially all employees of the Partnership are covered by defined
benefit or defined contribution pension plans. The Partnership's defined benefit
plans provide pension benefits that are principally based on the employee's
years of credited service.
Pension expense for the defined benefit plans consisted of:

(4) PENSION PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
Under the Partnership's Retirement Savings Plan, income tax is deferred on
amounts contributed by employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. An eligible employee may contribute up to 6% of his regular cash
compensation and the Partnership contributes, on a matching basis, 50% of the
employees' contributions. Eligible employees also are permitted to make
additional unmatched contributions under the Retirement Savings Plan of up to
another 9% of their total cash compensation. The Partnership's expense for the
Retirement Savings Plan for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
was $951,000, $845,000, and $818,000, respectively.
In addition to providing the above described benefits, the Partnership
provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for certain
retired employees. Prior to 1993, the cost of these benefits was recognized as
expense as claims or premiums were paid. The total cost of these postretirement
benefits charged to income was $2,766,000 and $2,338,000 for 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 106 requires recognition, during the
employees' service with the company, of the cost of their retiree health and
life insurance benefits.
The Partnership elected to immediately recognize the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for postretirement benefits of $89.5 million, which
represents the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) existing at
January 1, 1993. The APBO represents the present value of estimated future
benefits payable to current retirees, and the earned portion of estimated
benefits payable to active employees after retirement. Ongoing additional
charges for active employees are accrued annually to the date of full
eligibility.
The following tables summarize the components of net periodic benefit cost
and the plans' funded status (all dollar amounts in thousands):
NET PERIODIC POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT COST FOR 1993

The APBO was actuarially determined based on assumptions regarding the
discount rate and health care trend rates. The health care trend assumption
applies to postretirement medical and dental benefits. Different trend rates are
used for pre-age 65 and post-age 65 medical claims and for expected dental
claims. The trend rate used for the medical plan was 15% initially, grading to a
6% ultimate rate by 1% each year for pre-age 65 claims; and 10.5% grading to 6%
by .5% each year for post-age 65 claims. The trend rate for the dental plan was
6% each year. The liability was discounted using a 7.5% interest rate. A 1%
increase in the health care cost inflation trend rate would cause the APBO to
increase by approximately $6 million and would increase the periodic expense
provision by approximately $1 million.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Partnership must adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits." The Partnership's preliminary assessment of this statement indicates
that it should not have a significant impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Partnership.
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Partnership leases certain facilities and equipment under lease
agreements which expire at various dates through 1998. Minimum rental
commitments on these leases are $807,000 for 1994, $615,000 for 1995, $386,000
for 1996, $160,000 for 1997, and
39
41
SEALED POWER TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
$129,000 for 1998. Rentals on these leases were approximately $903,000,
$889,000, and $892,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
The Partnership is guarantor of certain debt securities, amounting to $2.5
million issued by its U.S. joint venture.
Certain claims, including environmental matters, suits and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are pending
against the Partnership. In the opinion of management, all such matters are
without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a
significant effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership if disposed of unfavorably. Additionally, the Partnership has
insurance to minimize its exposures of this nature.
The Partnership's operations and products are subject to federal, state and
local regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is the
Partnership's policy to comply fully with all such applicable requirements. As
part of its effort to comply, management has established an ongoing internal
compliance auditing program which has been in place since 1989. Based on current
information, management believes that the Partnership's operations are in
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and
the Partnership is not aware of any violation that could have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial conditions, or results of operations of the
Partnership. There can be no assurance, however, that currently unknown matters,
new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and
regulations will not materially affect the Partnership's business or operations
in the future.
In addition, it is the Partnership's practice to reduce use of
environmentally sensitive materials as much as possible. First, it reduces the
risk to the environment in that such use could result in adverse environmental
affects either from operations or utilization of the end product. Second, a
reduction in environmentally sensitive materials reduces the ongoing burden and
resulting cost of handling, controlling emissions, and disposing of wastes that
may be generated from such materials.
The Partnership is also subject to potential liability for the costs of
environmental remediation. This liability may be based upon the ownership or
operation of industrial facilities where contamination may be found as well as
contribution to contamination existing at offsite, non-owned facilities. These
offsite remediation costs cannot be quantified with any degree of certainty. At
this time, management can estimate the environmental remediation costs only in
terms of possibilities and probabilities based on available information.
The Partnership has been identified as a potentially responsible party with
respect to six separate sites which involve CERCLA type environmental
remediation. In all but one of these sites, it has been established that the
Partnership falls into the category of de minimus contributor, and thus, it
believes its liabilities, both individually and in the aggregate, are not
material. A determination has not been made at the other site, where the
Partnership may be found to be a Superfund contributor, however, it does not
believe its liability for remediation costs would exceed $150,000.
In the case of contamination existing upon properties owned or controlled by
the Partnership, the Partnership has established reserves which it deems
adequate to meet its current remediation obligations.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will not be required to pay
environmental compliance costs or incur liabilities that may be material in
amount due to matters which arise in the future or are not currently known to
the Partnership.
(6) OPTION SHARES
The Partnership has an Employee Option Plan which provides Limited
Partnership Shares (the "Option Shares") to key employees of the Partnership.
Options expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Following exercise
of the options, the Management Partners and other key employees of the
Partnership are expected to own, in the aggregate, 10% of the Partnership
interests. Option Shares will be reserved for the Management Partners to
maintain their 2% aggregate Partnership interest. Employee options vest over
time and after the Partnership achieves certain financial targets. Under the
Plan, 8,601 options are authorized for grant, of which 7,875 have been granted
and are outstanding. In 1993, no options were granted. In 1992 and 1991, 900 and
780 options were granted at an average price of $484 and $550 per share,
respectively. Options vested under the plan were 2,861 through December 31,
1993. There were 110 options exercised and no options canceled in 1993. There
were 178 options exercised and no options canceled in 1992. No options were
exercised or canceled in 1991. There were 290, 200 and 1,330 options forfeited
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
(7) BUSINESS
The Partnership is in one line of business. It manufactures engine,
transmission and steering column components and distributes these components to
manufacturers of transportation equipment and distributors of aftermarket parts.
Sales to various plants, divisions or subsidiaries of General Motors and
Ford were approximately 25% and 23%, respectively, of 1993 sales, 27% and 20%,
respectively, of 1992 sales, and 31% and 15%, respectively, of 1991 net sales.
Sales to SPX were 5%, 8%, and 8%, of 1993, 1992, and 1991 net sales,
respectively. No other customer or group of customers under common control
accounted for 10% or more of net sales in 1993. See Note 12 for a discussion of
sales to related parties. Export sales were less than 10% of net sales for 1993,
1992, and 1991.

(8) INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, investments as shown on the consolidated
balance sheet included the Partnership's 40% interest in a Mexican affiliate and
50% interest in a U. S. joint venture for the production and sale of engine
parts. The remaining 50% of the U.S. joint venture is owned equally by SPX and
Riken. These investments are accounted for under the equity method. As of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, approximately $1,818,000 and $1,527,000,
respectively, of the Partnership's capital consisted of undistributed earnings
of the investments. At December 31, 1993, the Partnership's prorata share of the
Mexican affiliate's equity exceeded the carrying value of the investment
recorded in the consolidated financial statements by approximately $1.8 million.
Summarized combined financial information from the unaudited financial

The Partnership's plant, property and equipment and related accumulated
depreciation for 1993 were impacted by the write-down to estimated fair market
value of a foundry, which is scheduled to be closed in 1994, and the accelerated
depreciation of assets used in the production of a product line scheduled to be
discontinued. The impact of the foundry write-down on plant, property and
equipment retirements was $3 million on buildings and $7.2 million on machinery
and equipment, and the impact on accumulated depreciation retirement was $2.1
million on buildings and $6.3 million on machinery and equipment. The impact of
the accelerated depreciation of assets used in the production of a product line
scheduled to be discontinued was to increase additions to accumulated
depreciation by $1.8 million.
(12) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Sales to and purchases from affiliates, primarily with the aftermarket
operations of SPX, are based upon negotiated prices. Sales to affiliates were
$21, $28, and $27 million during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. Sales to SPX were discontinued effective November 1, 1993,
as a result of SPX's sale of its aftermarket operations. Purchases from
affiliates were $2, $3, and $4 million during the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.
Receivables from affiliates represent uncollected sales to the aftermarket
operation of SPX, and unpaid management fees related to SPT (Europe).
The Partnership has entered into service agreements with SPX whereby SPX
administered certain insurance and administrative programs for the Partnership
during 1993, 1992, and 1991. Costs of the insurance programs are based upon paid
or accrued claims that relate directly to the Partnership.
In July 1991, the Partnership began managing a European piston ring and
cylinder sleeve business which was acquired in June 1991 by a partnership formed
by SPX. In October 1992, a new partner effectively contributed its European
piston ring business to this partnership in exchange for an equity ownership in
the European partnership. The business produces piston rings and cylinder
sleeves for

European original equipment and replacement markets. It has manufacturing
facilities in Barsinghausen, Germany; Vilanova, Spain; and Pringy, France. The
Partnership receives a fee for managing the European business.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Late in the fourth quarter of 1993, SPX determined that virtually all
existing Partnership debt should be refinanced in anticipation of the purchase
of Riken's 49% interest in the Partnership (Note 1), due to favorable prevailing
interest rates, scheduled debt maturities, and to maintain the flexibility to
grow through internal investments and acquisitions. The plan of refinancing
includes an offering by SPX of $260 million of senior subordinated notes, which
SPX expects to have completed by June 30, 1994. These notes are anticipated to
bear interest at a rate of approximately 10% and will be due in or after the
year 2002. At that time, the proceeds will be used to retire existing
Partnership borrowings, including the $100 million of 14.5% Senior Subordinated
Debentures, the Term Bank Loan, and the Revolving Credit Loans. Excess proceeds
will be used to pay down the SPX revolving credit facility at that time.
