Item 1. Business --------
The company is a diversified manufacturer of engineered industrial products, serving niche markets in aerospace, fluid handling, automatic merchandising and the construction industry. The company's wholesale distribution business serves the building products markets and industrial customers. Founded in 1855, Crane Co. employs over 8,700 people in North America, Europe and Australia.
The company's strategy is to maintain a balanced business mix, to focus on niche businesses with high market share and to avoid capital-intensive and cyclical businesses.
In the past five years, the company has completed seven acquisitions. In 1990 it acquired Lear Romec, a manufacturer of lubrication and fuel pumps for the aerospace industry. In 1992, certain assets of Jenkins Canada, Inc., a manufacturer of bronze and iron valves, were acquired as an addition to the company's North American valve unit. In 1993, the company made five acquisitions. Perflow Instruments, Ltd., a British manufacturer of pressure and flow measurement equipment, was added to Crane Ltd. Huttig Sash and Door Company expanded its nationwide millwork distribution by acquiring Rondel's Inc., a millwork distributor serving the eastern Washington/western Idaho region, and the Whittier-Ruhle Millwork Company, serving the Mid-Atlantic region. The company significantly expanded its position as a supplier of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels to the recreational vehicle market with the acquisition of Filon. Filon was integrated with the company's Kemlite unit in the fourth quarter of 1993. The company acquired Burks Pumps, Inc., a manufacturer of engineered pumps, in December 1993. This acquisition will complement the company's Chempump and Deming pump businesses and significantly increases its involvement in niche markets in the pump industry.
In 1990 the company sold Sea-Pac Sales Co., a distributor of floor covering products, and its McAvity division, a Canadian manufacturer of waterwork valves and hydrants for an aggregate sales price of approximately $19 million. In April 1993, the company sold its precision ordnance business, UniDynamics/Phoenix for approximately $6 million.
During March 1992 the company sold $100,000,000 8 1/2% notes that will mature on March 15, 2004.
See page 24 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the contributions to the company's sales and operating profit of each of its business segments and the assets employed in each segment.

PART I ------
Item 1. Business (continued) --------
Canadian wholesale operations are conducted through the Crane Canada Supply Division of Crane Canada, Inc. This division, a distributor of plumbing supplies, valves and piping, maintains thirty-seven branches throughout Canada and is the largest single distributor for Crane manufactured products. This division also distributes products which are both complementary to and partly competitive with Crane Canada's own manufactured products.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS ----------------------
The company's lines of business are conducted under actively competitive conditions in each of the geographic and product areas they serve. Because of the diversity of the classes of products manufactured and sold, they do not compete with the same companies in all geographic or product areas. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the precise number of competitors or to identify the principal methods of competition. Although reliable statistics are not available, management believes the company and its subsidiaries are important manufacturers or suppliers in a number of market niches and geographic areas it serves.
The company's products have primary application in the industrial, construction, aerospace, automated merchandising, transportation, and fluid handling industries. As such, they are dependent upon numerous unpredictable factors, including changes in market demand, general economic conditions, residential and commercial building starts, capital spending, energy exploration and energy allocations during times of scarcity. Since these products are also sold in a wide variety of markets and applications, management does not believe it can reliably quantify or predict the possible effects upon its business resulting from such changes.
Seasonality is a considerable factor in Huttig and the Canadian operations.
Order backlog totalled approximately $226 million as of December 31, 1993, compared with $262 million as of December 31, 1992. Management believes backlog is not material to understanding its overall business because long- term contracts are not customary to significant portions of its business, except within the defense and aerospace related businesses.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -------------------
On March 18, 1994 pursuant to a tender offer, Crane Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane ("Crane Acquisition"), acquired 5,620,383 shares of the common stock of ELDEC Corporation ("ELDEC") at $13.00 per share. With this purchase, Crane Acquisition Corp. acquired 98.7 percent of the outstanding shares of ELDEC and thereafter consummated the merger of ELDEC into Crane Acquisition Corp., each remaining share of ELDEC common stock would be converted into the right to receive $13.00 in cash. Therefore, ELDEC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane. Funds in the amount of up to $74,000,000 required for the acquisition of ELDEC have been made available through short-term credit lines.
ELDEC, a Washington based corporation, designs, manufactures and markets custom electronic and electromechanical products and systems for applications that are technically and environmentally demanding. The company serves both the commercial and military aerospace markets, and its major customers are airframe and aircraft engine manufacturers and electronic systems manufacturers. The company has four product lines; sensing systems that monitor the status of aircraft landing gear, doors and flight surfaces; low voltage and high voltage power supplies for avionic and defense electronic systems; monitor and control devices for aircraft engines, including flowmeters and engine diagnostic systems; battery chargers, transformer- rectifiers and other devices that regulate DC power on an aircraft.
For the year ended March 31, 1993, ELDEC had net sales of $108,415,000, net income of $2,430,000, and total assets of $112,235,000.
PART I ------
Item 1. Business (continued) --------
The company's engineering and product development activities are directed primarily toward improvement of existing products and adaptation of existing products to particular customer requirements. While the company owns numerous patents and licenses, none are of such importance that termination would materially affect its business. Product development and engineering costs aggregated approximately $18,300,000 in 1993 ($19,200,000 and $18,600,000 in 1992 and 1991, respectively). In addition, approximately $139,000, $4,100,000, and $6,900,000 were received by the company in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively, for customer sponsored research and development relating to projects within the Engineered Industrial Products segment.
Costs of compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations involving the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment are not expected to have a material effect upon the company or its competitive position.

Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings -----------------
Neither the company, nor any subsidiary of the company has become a party to, nor has any of their property become the subject of any material legal proceeding other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their businesses.
The following proceeding is included herein because it has been reported in the media. On September 22, 1992 the company was served with a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri naming the company and its former subsidiary CF&I Steel Corporation ("CF&I") as defendants and alleging violations of the False Claims Act in connection with the distribution of CF&I to the company's shareholders in 1985 (Civil Actions Nos. 91-0429-C-1 and 4:92CV00514JCH). The complaint alleges a continuing agreement and concert of action between the company and CF&I to distribute CF&I to the company's shareholders, thereafter to terminate CF&I's pension plan so as to cause the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") to assume CF&I's liability for $140 million in unfunded pension liabilities and to prevent the PBGC from obtaining any reimbursement from the company, and to publish and file misleading information in furtherance of that objective. The complaint seeks treble damages and attorney's fees. The company believes it has defenses to the complaint on the grounds, among others, that the allegations are without merit, the plaintiff has no standing and the False Claims Act does not apply. On June 1, 1993 the federal court in the Eastern District of Missouri dismissed the complaint for lack of standing of the plaintiff. The plaintiff has filed an appeal. The company expects the dismissal to be affirmed by the appellate court.
The following proceedings are not considered by the company to be material to its business or financial condition and are reported herein because of the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the descriptions of administrative or judicial proceedings by governmental authorities arising under federal, state or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
In a letter dated October 15, 1992 the office of the Attorney General of the State of Ohio advised Cor Tec, a division of Dyrotech Industries, Inc. which is a subsidiary of the company, that Cor Tec's plant facility in Washington Court House, Ohio, had operated numerous air contaminant sources in its manufacturing process which emitted air pollutants for an extended period of time without the required state permits. The Ohio Attorney General's office also alleged that certain contaminant sources at the Cor Tec facility were installed without obtaining permits to install. The main air contaminant in question is styrene, a volatile organic compound that is alleged to be a carcinogen. Cor Tec recently constructed an air remediation system in its plant which included the installation of a hood, vent and incinerator to capture and incinerate the styrene emissions. At a meeting in Columbus, Ohio on March 4, 1993 the Attorney General's office proposed that Cor Tec and the company sign a Consent Decree which would include general injunctive relief and civil penalties in the amount of $4.6 million. Cor Tec has refused to execute such a Decree or pay a penalty. No formal complaint has been filed by the Ohio Attorney General against the company or Cor Tec with regard to the styrene emissions. Cor Tec believes it has adequate defenses to the allegations made by the Attorney General and it plans to vigorously resist paying any damages, fines, or penalties.
On July 12, 1985 the company received written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") that the EPA believes the company may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensations and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") to pay for investigation and corrective measures which may be required to be taken at the Roebling Steel Company site in Florence Township, Burlington County, New Jersey (the "Site") of which its former subsidiary, CF&I Steel Corporation ("CF&I") was a past owner and operator prior to the enactment of CERCLA. The
PART I ------
Item 3. Legal Proceedings (continued) -----------------
stated grounds for the EPA's position was the EPA's belief that the company had owned and/or operated the Site. The company had advised the EPA that such was not the case and does not believe that it is responsible for any testing or clean-up at the Site based on current facts. CF&I also has received notice from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Regulatory Services ("NJDEP)", advising CF&I that an investigation by the NJDEP had identified what was considered an existing and potential environmental problem at the Site. As a past owner and operator at the Site, CF&I was notified of the NJDEP's belief that further investigatory action was needed to identify all potential environmental problems at the Site and thereafter formulate and implement a remedial plan to address any identified problems. The NJDEP has subsequently requested information from CF&I, and CF&I has cooperated in providing information, including results of tests which CF&I has conducted at the Site. The EPA identified sources of contamination, which must be examined for potential environmental damage, including: chemical waste drums, storage tanks, transformers, impressed gas cylinders, chemical laboratories, bag house dust, rubber tires, inactive railroad cars, wastewater treatment plants, lagoons, slag disposal areas, and a landfill. On November 7, 1990 CF&I filed a petition for reorganization and protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The EPA has disclosed that two surface clean-ups have been performed at a cost in excess of $2,000,000 and a further surface clean-up has been announced at an estimated cost of approximately $5,000,000.
On July 1, 1991 the company received a letter from the EPA providing an update of the clean-up at the Site. The EPA's July 1, 1991 letter describes a proposed third phase of the investigation, including a Focused Feasibility Study which defined the nature of contaminants and evaluated remedial alternatives for two portions of the Site. The estimated cost for the preferred remedy selected by the EPA for these locations is $12,000,000. In the bankruptcy proceeding of CF&I the EPA was allowed an unsecured claim against CF&I for $27.1 million related to EPA's environmental investigations and remediation at the Roebling Site. Based on the analysis above, the company does not believe it is responsible for any portion of the clean-up.
