ITEM 1. BUSINESS - -----------------
(a) General Development of the Business
Dravo Corporation was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1936 to consolidate several related corporations then operating various elements of a business started in 1891 by F. R. Dravo. Its corporate offices are located at 3600 One Oliver Plaza, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-2682, and its telephone number is 412-566-3000. As used herein, the term Dravo includes its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. In December, 1987, Dravo's Board of Directors approved a major restructuring program which concentrated Dravo's future direction exclusively on opportunities involving its natural resources business. The plan included the sale or other disposition of the former Engineering and Construction segment, as well as the sale of the former Materials Handling and Systems segment approved earlier. All units scheduled for sale were sold by the end of 1989. The remainder of these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in the financial statements.
As a result of this restructuring program, Dravo is a natural resources company operating principally in the United States. Activities include the production of aggregates for construction and industrial uses and lime for industrial, utility, municipal and construction applications. All of the properties on which the company's reserves are located are physically accessible for the purposes of mining, dredging and hauling. Operations are principally carried on by two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dravo Basic Materials Company, Inc. (Dravo Basic Materials) and Dravo Lime Company (Dravo Lime).
Dravo Basic Materials is a leading producer of construction aggregates in the Ohio Valley and Gulf Coast regions. Principal products include sand and gravel, crushed limestone, shell, slag, ready-mixed concrete, concrete block, industrial filler material and poultry feed calcium supplement. The organization markets approximately 20 million tons of aggregates annually.
The company's Ohio Valley operations are located in Cincinnati, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Cave In Rock, Illinois and Smithland, Kentucky. Activity in all of the Ohio Valley locations is historically lower in the first quarter than the remainder of the year because of a seasonal construction market and winter weather conditions.
Three land-based sand and gravel quarries are owned and operated in the Cincinnati area; two in the Pittsburgh area, one owned and one leased; and one is owned in the West Virginia area. A new owned limestone quarry is currently being developed east of Cincinnati. Also, two dredges are currently operating on the Ohio River under leases held by various governmental agencies and private individuals.
The Cave In Rock limestone quarry is operated under a long-term lease with Lafarge Corporation. The quarry is located next to the Ohio River approximately 100 miles from the Ohio's junction with the Mississippi River. Reserves are estimated at 82 million tons, and the facility has an ultimate production capacity in excess of four million tons per year. The company markets the Cave In Rock aggregate along the Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee river systems and
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED) - -----------------
the Gulf Coast. The company also supplies Lafarge's cement plant at Joppa, Illinois with kiln feed stone.
The company owns and operates the Smithland, Kentucky limestone quarry located on the Cumberland River near its confluence with the Ohio River. This facility has limestone reserves of approximately 204 million tons and annual production capacity of more than four million tons.
Dravo Basic Materials produces and markets its products in the southern United States in a number of metropolitan and rural areas. Production facilities include three limestone quarries and five sand and gravel quarries in Alabama and one limestone quarry and a river dredging operation in Florida. Aggregates are marketed from distribution facilities in Tampa, Pensacola and Jacksonville, Florida; Brunswick and Savannah, Georgia; Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery and Auburn, Alabama; New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Westlake, Convent, Houma and Morgan City, Louisiana. Aggregates from the Cave In Rock, Illinois and Smithland, Kentucky facilities are also being marketed in the Gulf Coast area. A crushed slag plant is operated in Tennessee.
The company imports limestone from a leased quarry located in The Bahamas. Reserves at this facility are estimated at 45 million tons, while production capacity is over two million tons annually.
Dravo Basic Materials Company resumed shell dredging operations along the Gulf Coast in late 1992 after reaching a joint partnership agreement late in the year with the current reef shell leaseholder. The new leaseholder replaced the operator who was awarded the lease when it was auctioned by the State of Louisiana in 1991. The joint partnership agreement allows Dravo Basic Materials to once again participate in a market in which it has had substantial success historically because of reef shell's desirability for a number of construction and chemical applications.
The company completed the sale of its asphaltic concrete operation located in Mobile and Loxley, Alabama in the first half of 1992.
Dravo Lime, one of the nation's largest lime producers with annual capacity of over two million tons, owns and operates two plants in Kentucky and one in Alabama. The largest, a million-ton-per-year facility in Maysville, Kentucky, produces lime that is particularly efficient in removing sulphur dioxide from power plant stack gases. Most of Maysville's output is committed under long- term contracts with utility companies in the Ohio Valley. All contracts contain provisions for price escalation. Owned reserves at the Maysville site are considered adequate to sustain the current three kiln production for approximately thirty years. The Maysville plant also has options on additional reserves adequate to sustain production in excess of fifty years. Dravo Lime's Black River integrated lime facility located along the Ohio River at Butler, Kentucky has an annual quicklime capacity of 660,000 tons-per-year. The facility is currently being expanded to increase its capacity by 700,000 tons. The increased tonnage will be used, in part, to supply 450,000 tons of lime annually
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED) - -----------------
to American Electric Power's Gavin Station under a 15-year agreement commencing the second quarter of 1995. Reserves at this facility are considered adequate to sustain current production levels in excess of one hundred years. The company's Longview plant, located near Birmingham, Alabama, completed an expansion in April, 1991 that increased its annual production capacity to approximately 550,000 tons per year.
The additional production is used primarily to meet the needs of a long-term contract with Mineral Technologies, Inc., formerly Pfizer Specialty Minerals Inc., for the production of precipitated calcium carbonate for the pulp and paper industry. The remainder of Longview's production is marketed to the aluminum, steel, chemical and other industries and for use in water purification, soil stabilization and road building applications. Limestone at the Longview operation comes from an above-ground quarry with recoverable reserves estimated to last twenty-three years at the current production rate. Ultimately, Dravo Lime expects to convert Longview to an underground mine, providing access to additional reserves that would support the current production rate for over one hundred years.
Dravo Lime maintains and operates distribution terminals in Aliquippa and Butler, Pennsylvania; Porterfield, Ohio; Brunswick, Georgia; Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale and Sanford, Florida; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dravo Lime stopped marketing Calcilox/R/ in 1992 due to a shortage of suitable low cost raw material. Calcilox is a stabilizing agent used in converting sludge produced in plant air pollution reduction systems into a material suitable for landfill operations.
(b) Competitive Conditions
Dravo encounters substantial competition in all its operations but believes that its past experience, strategically located reserves and technical expertise gives it certain competitive advantages. Dravo, through its subsidiary Dravo Lime, is engaged in the supply of lime for use in utility sulphur dioxide stack gas scrubbers. Dravo Lime's research and development expenditures for 1993 were $4.2 million, while spending for 1994 is expected to exceed $3.3 million. The company expects the research, much of which is being conducted jointly with utility customers, to lower both the capital and operating costs of the proprietary Thiosorbic/R/ scrubbing systems. Other research projects are aimed at increasing the range of applications of proprietary reagents for use in reducing stack gas emissions and at producing and recovering a saleable by- product. Dravo believes that in this field its long-term contracts, accumulated experience and technical skill have provided it a competitive advantage.
Several firms with which Dravo competes have greater resources and income. Dravo competes with other firms for qualified professional personnel, particularly those with technological skills.
(c) Corporate Development
Dravo's corporate development policy encompasses growth through investment in existing businesses, internal development and acquisition. Additionally, to the extent that business units no longer meet management's long-term profitability performance criteria and business strategies, or do not contribute significantly to corporate objectives or balance, a policy of divestiture is followed.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS (CONTINUED) - -----------------
Continuing operations of Dravo Corporation, which are principally domestic in nature, function in one segment, a natural resources business, involved in the production, processing and supply of construction materials, primarily aggregates, as well as lime for environmental, chemical and metallurgical applications. Dravo's position as the world's leading producer of lime for flue gas desulfurization applications was enhanced by the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.

ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - --------------------------
The company filed an action in 1981 to collect on a promissory note issued by Meladuras Portuguesa, C. A. (Melaport) and its principal, Alberto Caldera (Caldera). In 1985, Melaport and Caldera filed a counterclaim for damages alleging the company breached a contract between Melaport and the company relating to engineering and procurement services rendered between 1973 and 1978 for a sugar cane processing facility. The Fifth Civil, Mercantile and Traffic Court of First Instance for the Federal District and State of Miranda, Venezuela ruled partially in favor of Melaport's counterclaim. The ruling was upheld by the Seventh Court of Appeals in Civil, Mercantile and Traffic Matters for the Judicial Circuit of the Federal District and State of Miranda on September 25, 1992 and by the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela on July 8, 1993. The lower courts' ruling does not specify damages to be paid but identifies the following categories of damages to which Caldera and Melaport are entitled: (1) the losses suffered by Melaport from the time it commenced operations in 1974 to 1978; (2) the value of certain equipment and other assets which had been pledged by Melaport to secure borrowings in connection with the project; and (3) the value of approximately 540 acres of land which a corporation controlled by Caldera had mortgaged to secure the borrowing. The amount of damages in these three categories is to be established by an appraisal process conducted by the trial court; damages are to be adjusted for inflation since the counterclaim was filed in 1985 and for interest at 12 percent per year. The company is preparing to vigorously pursue the appraisal proceedings. While opposing counsel has asserted that the damages are in excess of $35 million, the company at this time cannot predict the results of the appraisal proceedings. The company has no assets in Venezuela and will challenge the enforcement in the United States if judgment is finally issued by the Venezuelan Courts. On November 2, 1993, the company filed suit against Melaport and Caldera in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeking an injunction and a declaratory judgment with respect to the proceedings in Venezuela. The company is requesting a determination that any judgment in the Venezuelan proceedings is not enforceable against the company and is also seeking indemnification for all costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred and which may be incurred by the company in the Venezuelan proceedings and the costs and expenses of the United States District Court action. On February 25, 1994, Melaport and Caldera filed a motion asking the Court to dismiss the suit based on the lack of personal jurisdiction over the defendants and based on the doctrines of forum non conveniens, res judicata and judicial estoppel. It also asked the Court to dismiss, as premature, the company's demand for injunctive and declaratory relief. The company intends to vigorously pursue this action. If the ruling of the Venezuelan Courts is successfully enforced against the company in the United States, the liability would be material to the company.
The company has been notified by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the EPA considers the company as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for soil and groundwater contamination at three subsites within the Hastings Ground Water Contamination Site, Hastings, Nebraska. With respect to the Colorado Avenue subsite, in the vicinity of a fabrication facility formerly operated by the company, the EPA has issued an administrative order dated September 28, 1990, to the company and one other PRP to remedy soil contamination. The EPA has also issued a unilateral administrative order, effective March 28, 1993, directing the company and the other PRP to conduct the interim groundwater remediation required by EPA's record of decision. The company has been complying with these orders while reserving its right to seek reimbursement from the United States for its
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) - --------------------------------------
costs if it is determined it is not liable for response costs or if it is required to incur costs because of arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable requirements imposed by EPA.
A contribution claim related to this subsite was filed by the company in the Nebraska District Court against two other parties who are named PRPs, Burlington Northern Railroad and the Zuber Company, but were not served with the EPA's orders. After the company filed its suit, the EPA, over the company's objection, entered into a de minimis settlement agreement with these two PRPs providing for, among other things, contribution protection in return for access to their contaminated property. EPA based its decision on the lack of any evidence indicating these PRPs contributed to contamination at the site, but provided for reconsideration of its decision if such evidence was uncovered. Subsequently, the District Court granted motions for summary judgment filed by these two PRPs based on the contribution protection provisions in their de minimis settlements with the EPA, and the PRPs withdrew their counterclaims. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision on January 12, 1994. The company has also notified the EPA and each PRP of its intent to challenge the decision by the EPA to issue the de minimis order without receiving reimbursement for a share of the response and remediation costs but has not yet filed suit.
The company, along with a number of others, is considered a PRP with respect to subsites at the municipally-owned North and South Landfills. The North Landfill closed before the company commenced operations but a predecessor may have used this landfill to dispose of hazardous materials. On December 31, 1991 the EPA issued a formal demand to the company and other PRPs for reimbursement of costs the EPA has incurred at this subsite and has also solicited an offer to conduct or finance remedial work at this subsite for both soil and groundwater contamination. The company has rejected the EPA's demand to reimburse the EPA for its costs and decided not to submit the offer requested. No PRP at this subsite has agreed to pay the EPA's response costs. As a result, statutory interest is being added to the EPA's response costs. Other PRPs, including the local municipality, have agreed to perform the remedial investigation and to design soil and groundwater remediation remedies at this subsite, but no party has agreed to conduct the remediation. Only minimal investigation has been conducted at the South Landfill, and it is not evident that remedial work is warranted. In January, 1994 the EPA sent a specific notice to the company that the EPA considered it and three other parties PRPs at this subsite. The letter invited the company and the other PRPs to make an offer to conduct a remedial investigation and the feasibility study (RI/FS) of this subsite and stated that the EPA was in the process of preparing a workplan for the RI/FS.
In October of 1990, the company notified its primary and excess general liability insurance carriers of the claims by the EPA at the Colorado Avenue and North Landfill subsites. Although one primary carrier agreed to pay for a part of the company's defense, it has not done so and has refused to pay for expenses the company has already incurred. The company's other primary carrier has declined coverage altogether. On August 10, 1992, the company filed suit in the Alabama District Court against The Hartford Insurance Company and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company seeking a declaratory judgment that the company is entitled to a defense and indemnity under its contracts of insurance (including certain excess policies provided by one of the primary carriers). This complaint is limited to the EPA's claims at the Colorado Avenue subsite. The suit has been
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED) - --------------------------------------
amended to include as a defendant Bituminous Casualty Corporation the excess liability carrier of the company's predecessor at the site. An investigation of the coverage provided by the primary carrier of the company's predecessor is also underway. An award of punitive damages is being sought against Hartford and Liberty Mutual for their bad faith in failing to investigate the company's claim and/or denying the company's claim. The case is proceeding in accordance with a case management order issued by the District Court Magistrate assigned to handle pretrial matters. In February of 1994, the company notified its primary and excess insurers of EPA's specific notice that it considered the company a PRP at the South Landfill Subsite, inviting the company to make an offer to conduct an RI/FS at the site, and notifying the company that EPA was in the process of preparing a workplan for the RI/FS. The company has joined with the other PRPs in recommending the use of regional institutional controls for remediation of groundwater at all of the Hastings Ground Water Contamination Subsites.
A dispute between the company and the Southeast Resource Recovery Facility (SERRF) in Long Beach, California over a contract to design, construct and demonstrate a resource recovery facility has given rise to two lawsuits. On October 17, 1989, the company instituted an action against the SERRF Authority and the City of Long Beach seeking recovery of escrow funds and reimbursement for change orders, extra work, delays and other increased costs. On October 19, 1989, the SERRF Authority and the City of Long Beach filed suit against the company and its surety, The Insurance Company of North America, seeking among other things, damages for breach of contract. Both lawsuits are now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On February 25, 1994, the principal parties to these lawsuits signed a Memorandum of Intent containing the terms of settlement to be entered into among the parties. The settlement is subject to the approval of the U. S. District Court.
On February 21, 1990, the company filed suit against Continental Energy Associates (CEA), the owner of a cogeneration facility in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, Continental Cogeneration Corporation (CCC), the owner's general partner, and Swiss Bank Corporation, the project's lender. The company claims damages for breach of contract and unjust enrichment arising out of the termination of the company's contract to construct, as part of the facility, a coal gasification plant. On February 23, 1990, CEA and CCC filed suit against the company which as amended seeks damages for breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and tortious interference with the contract of surety. The lawsuits have been consolidated in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS -------
Information required by this item is incorporated by reference to the information set forth under the captions indicated below in the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders which accompanies this report:
Description of Dravo Capital Stock ----------------------------------
General
Under its Restated Articles of Incorporation ("the Articles"), as amended, Dravo is authorized to issue 1,878,870 shares of preference stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 35,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share. At December 31, 1993 issued preference and common shares were 232,386 and 14,967,824, respectively.
The Board of Directors has by resolutions established four series of preference stock: $2.20 Cumulative Convertible Series A Preference Stock ("Series A Preference Stock"), consisting of 26,817 shares, issued on September 1, 1970; $2.475 Cumulative Convertible Series B Preference Stock ("Series B Preference Stock"), consisting of 165,516 shares, issued on June 12, 1973; Series C Preference Stock consisting of 200,000 shares, which are issuable pursuant to the exercise of the rights to purchase stock described below; and Series D Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preference Stock ("Series D Preference Stock") consisting of 200,000 shares, issued on September 21, 1988. All of the shares of Series A Preference Stock were converted into shares of common stock on April 2, 1978. 32,386 shares of Series B Preference Stock and 200,000 shares of Series D Preference Stock are presently issued and outstanding. No shares of Series C Preference Stock have been issued or are outstanding. Other series of preference stock may be created by resolutions of the Board of Directors with such dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and conversion rights as shall be specified therein.
Dividend Rights
The holders of the preference stock are entitled to cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, which must be paid and the next quarterly dividend set apart before any dividends (except dividends in common stock or any other stock ranking after
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS (CONTINUED) -------
Dividend Rights (continued)
the preference stocks as to dividends and assets) are declared, or paid, or monies set apart for the payment of dividends on any class of stock ranking after the preference stock as to dividends or assets. The rate of dividends payable upon the Series B Preference Stock is $2.475 per annum. The rate of dividends payable upon the Series C Preference Stock is an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of $10.00 or 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash and non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend or distribution payable in shares of common stock, paid on the common stock in the immediately preceding quarter, subject to adjustment in certain events. The rate of dividends payable upon the Series D Preference Stock is 12.35 percent per annum or $12.35 per share, which rate shall be increased by 2 percent per annum if such dividends are not paid on any quarterly dividend payment date until accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series D Preference Stock are paid.
The holders of the common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of assets properly available for that purpose. No common stock dividends have been declared since April, 1987.
Other information required by this item is incorporated by reference to the information set forth under the caption "Note 5: Notes Payable", in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 20 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders which accompanies this report.
Voting Rights
Each share of the common stock and the preference stock is entitled to one vote, which is cumulative in the election of directors. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, and approximately one third of the directors are elected each year for three year terms. The effect of such classification of the Board is to increase the number of shares, voted cumulatively, necessary to elect directors. If dividends on the preference stock shall be unpaid or in arrears for six quarterly dividend periods, the holders of the preference stock voting as a class shall have the right to elect two additional directors.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of Dravo, or the sale or other disposition of substantially all of its assets, the holders of the Series B Preference Stock shall be entitled to receive the sum of $55 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon; the holders of Series C Preference Stock shall be entitled to receive $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends plus an amount equal to the holder's pro rata share of the amount that would be available for distribution after payment of all liabilities,
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS (CONTINUED) -------
Liquidation Rights (continued)
liquidation preferences and a distribution on the common stock, if any, as determined according to a formula; and the holders of Series D Preference Stock shall be entitled to receive $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. The holders of any other series of preference stock which may be issued shall be entitled to receive the amounts provided for in the resolutions creating such series. The holders of the common stock shall share ratably in the remaining assets, if any.
No Preemptive Rights and Non-assessability
No preemptive rights attach to the common stock or the preference stock. Neither the holders of the common stock nor the preference stock are liable to further calls or assessment by Dravo.
Redemption and Sinking Fund Provisions
There are no redemption provisions with respect to the common stock. The Series B Preference Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of Dravo, on not less than 60 days notice, on any quarterly dividend payment date by the payment of $55 per share and all accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. The Series C Preference Stock may be redeemed as a whole, but not in part, at the option of Dravo, at any time, at a cash price per share based upon the average market value, as defined and adjusted, of the common stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series D Preference Stock may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of Dravo at any time after September 21, 1996, by the payment of $100 per share and all accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date, so long as the current market price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series D Preference Stock) of the common stock on the date the Board decides to redeem the shares is at least 175 percent of the then effective conversion price for the Series D Preference Stock. Commencing on the first quarterly dividend payment date after September 21, 1998 and annually thereafter, Dravo is required to redeem 50,000 shares of Series D Preference Stock in cash at the redemption price of $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends. Dravo is also required (unless certain conditions are met) to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preference Stock in cash at $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends (a) if Dravo declares or pays or sets apart for payment any dividends or makes any other distribution in cash or other property on or in respect of the common stock or any other class or series of the capital stock of Dravo ranking junior to the Series D Preference Stock as to payment of dividends ("Junior Dividend Stock"), or sets apart money for any sinking fund or analogous fund for the redemption or purchase of any Junior Dividend Stock and (b) upon any merger or consolidation of Dravo if, in connection therewith, the holders of the common stock receive cash, debt instruments or preference stock of the surviving entity which ranks on a parity with or senior to the Series D Preference stock with respect to liquidation, dissolution or winding up or dividends. There are no sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock or the Series B Preference Stock, Series C Preference Stock or Series D Preference Stock.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS (CONTINUED) -------
Conversion
The Series B Preference Stock is presently convertible at any time prior to redemption at the option of the holder into common stock on the basis of 3.216 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preference Stock, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of certain changes affecting the common stock. The Series D Preference Stock is presently convertible at any time prior to redemption at the option of the holder into common stock on the basis of 8.0 shares of common stock for each share of Series D Preference Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes affecting the common stock. The Series D Preference Stock is convertible or exchangeable in whole at any time by Dravo for an equal face amount of Dravo Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due September 21, 2001 containing the same conversion rights, transfer restrictions and other terms (other than voting rights) as the Series D Preference Stock. There are no conversion rights with respect to the Series C Preference Stock or the common stock.
Rights to Purchase Series C Preference Stock
The Series C Preference Stock is issuable pursuant to the exercise of rights to purchase Series C Preference Stock. On April 4, 1986, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of one right for each outstanding share of common stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 17, 1986 (the "Record Date") and with respect to each share of common stock that may be issued by Dravo prior to the Distribution Date described below or the earlier redemption or expiration of the rights. Each right entitles the registered holder, following the occurrence of certain events described below, to purchase from Dravo a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a "Unit") of Series C Preference Stock at a purchase price of $60 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The descriptions and terms of the rights are set forth in a rights agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between Dravo and PNC Bank, N. A. (formerly Pittsburgh National Bank), as the rights agent.
Initially, the rights will be attached to all common stock certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate rights certificates will be distributed. The rights will separate from the common stock and a distribution date will occur upon the earlier of (a) 10 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 percent or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dravo (the "Stock Acquisition Date"), or (b) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 30 percent or more of such outstanding shares of common stock. Until the distribution date, (i) the rights will be evidenced by the common stock certificates and will be transferred with and only with such common stock certificates, (ii) new common stock certificates issued after the Record Date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference, and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificate for common stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the rights associated with the common stock represented by such certificate.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS (CONTINUED) -------
Rights to Purchase Series C Preference Stock (continued)
The rights are not exercisable until the distribution date and will expire at the close of business on April 17, 1996, unless earlier redeemed by Dravo as described below.
In the event that, at any time following the distribution date, (a) Dravo is the surviving corporation in a merger with an Acquiring Person and its common stock is not changed or exchanged, (b) an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of 30 percent or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock, (c) an Acquiring Person engages in one or more "self-dealing" transactions as set forth in the Rights Agreement, or (d) 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 one percent (e.g., a reclassification of securities, reverse stock split or recapitalization of Dravo), each holder of a right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of Dravo) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (i) rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph until such time as the rights are no longer redeemable by Dravo as set forth below, and (ii) following the occurrence of any of the events set forth above, all rights that are, or (under certain 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) Dravo is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which Dravo is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger described in the preceding paragraph), or (ii) 50 percent or more of Dravo assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a right (except rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall 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 right. The events set forth in this paragraph and in the preceding paragraph are referred to as the "Triggering Events."
The Purchase Price payable, and the number of units of Series C Preference Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution. No fractional units may be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash may be made based on the market price of the Series C Preference Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.
At any time until ten days following the stock acquisition date, Dravo may redeem the rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per right. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, the decision to redeem shall require the concurrence of a majority of the continuing directors, as defined. After the redemption period has expired and prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Dravo's right of redemption may be reinstated if an Acquiring Person reduces his beneficial ownership to 10 percent or less of the outstanding

Rights to Purchase Series C Preference Stock (continued)
shares of common stock in a transaction or series of transactions not involving Dravo. Immediately upon action of the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the rights, with, where required, the concurrence of the continuing directors, 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 Dravo, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
Other than those provisions relating to the principal economic terms of the rights, any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of Dravo prior to the distribution date. Thereafter, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board (in certain circumstances, with the concurrence of the continuing directors) in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of holders of rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person), to suspend the effectiveness of the provision of the Rights Agreement pursuant to which certain rights become void as described above, or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to adjust the time period governing redemption shall be made at such time as the rights are not redeemable.
The rights may have the effect of preventing or discouraging some attempts to acquire control of Dravo. The rights could cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire control of Dravo on terms not approved by its Board of Directors, unless the offer is conditioned on a substantial percentage of rights being tendered to and acquired by the Acquiring Person. The rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors prior to the expiration of the redemption period since the rights may be redeemed by Dravo prior to the expiration of such period and Dravo may suspend the provisions that in certain circumstances prevent an Acquiring Person from exercising its rights. The rights could interfere with a negotiated transaction after an acquisition of 20 percent or more voting power if the rights were not redeemed. The rights will not prevent a holder of a controlling interest from exercising control over Dravo.
A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from Dravo upon the request of any shareholder. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement.
Other Information
Dravo may purchase shares of the preference stock whether or not any dividend arrearage shall exist with respect thereto, and may hold and dispose of such shares in such manner as it may elect.

March 29, 1994 By:/s/ CARL A. TORBERT, JR. ----------------------------------------------------------- Carl A. Torbert, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the Registrant and in the capacities and on the date indicated.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Dravo Corporation:
Under date of February 16, 1994, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Dravo Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, as contained in the 1993 annual report to shareholders. As discussed in Notes 10 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted the methods of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions and for income taxes as prescribed by Statements of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 106 and 109, respectively. These consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1993. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the related financial statement schedules as listed in answer to Item 14(a)(2). These financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statement schedules based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
Our audit report on the consolidated financial statements of Dravo Corporation and subsidiaries referred to above contains an explanatory paragraph that states that certain lawsuits, claims and assertions have been brought against the company for environmental costs and contract and claim disputes, the outcome of which presently cannot be determined.

DRAVO CORPORATION (PARENT COMPANY) Schedule III - Condensed Financial Information of Registrant Notes to Financial Statements
Notes 1 through 3, 5 through 14 and 16 to Dravo Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements have relevance to the parent company financial statements and should be read in conjunction therewith.
Note 1: Commitments
There was no continuing operations rental expense for 1993, 1992 or 1991. The minimum future rentals under noncancelable operating leases and minimum future rental receipts from subleases to third parties as of December 31, 1993 are indicated in the table below. Of the $19.4 million net minimum payments, $10.1 million has been expensed in connection with discontinued operations.
Note 2: Income Taxes
The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) effective January 1, 1993. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of $276,000 is determined as of January 1, 1993 and is reported separately in the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1993. Prior years financial statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109.
Dravo Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes the parent and consolidated subsidiaries. Dravo Corporation parent company financial statements recognize current income tax benefits to the extent the benefits are offset by current income tax liabilities of the consolidated subsidiaries. Long-term deferred income tax benefits are recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the company will generate sufficient consolidated taxable income to utilize net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration.
Note 2: Income Taxes (continued)
The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 1993 is comprised of the following:
Deferred income taxes of $13.9 million at December 31, 1992 represent deferred benefits offsetting deferred income tax liabilities of the consolidated subsidiaries. Concurrent with the implementation of SFAS 109, this amount was reclassified from deferred income taxes to advances from affiliates.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1993 are as follows:
Management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of $24.9 million will be realized through the reversal of temporary differences and through its subsidiaries future income. In order to fully realize the net deferred tax asset, the parent company and its subsidiaries will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $73.2 million prior to the expiration of its net operating loss carryforwards. There can be no assurance, however, that the parent, or its subsidiaries, will generate any earnings or any specific level of continued earnings.
