Item 1. Business
The Andersons Management Corp. (The "Corporation") was formed in August 1987, principally for the purpose of providing management services to The Andersons, a partnership (the "Partnership") and to act as the Partnership's sole General Partner. The Corporation began operations in 1988 when it completed an offering of its Class A and Class B Common Shares, transferred $500,000 of offering proceeds to the Partnership as its capital investment, and became the sole General Partner of the Partnership. Ownership of the Corporation's Class A and Class B Common Shares is restricted to limited partners of The Andersons.
The Corporation provides all management services to the Partnership pursuant to a Management Agreement entered into between the Partnership and the Corporation. The fee paid to the Corporation for its services is an amount equal to (a) the salaries and cost of all employee benefits, and other normal employee costs, paid or accrued on behalf of the Corporation's employees who furnish services to the Partnership, (b) reimbursable expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with its services to the Partnership, or on the Partnership's behalf, and (c) an amount equal to $5,000 for each 1% of return on partners' capital up to a 15% annual return on partners' capital, plus $7,500 for each 1% of return on partners' capital between 15% and 25%, plus $10,000 for each 1% of return on partners' capital greater than a 25% annual return to cover that part of the Corporation's general overhead which is attributable to Partnership services and to provide an element of profit to the Corporation. In addition to the fee payable to the Corporation, the Management Agreement also provides for certain other customary terms and conditions, including termination rights, and requires the Corporation to make its books and records available to the Partnership for inspection at reasonable times.
Business and Properties of the Partnership
The Partnership is engaged in agriculture which includes grain merchandising, operating grain elevator facilities located in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, and distributing agricultural supplies such as fertilizers, seeds and farm supplies. The Partnership is also engaged in the operation of retail general stores; the production, distribution and marketing of lawn care products and corncob products and the repair and leasing of rail cars.
For more complete information as to the Partnership's business and properties, and other information regarding the Partnership's operations, reference is made to the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 (the "Partnership Form 10-K"), which is filed as an exhibit hereto through incorporation by reference.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $1.2 and $1.3 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The largest component of the Corporation's working capital was a receivable from the Partnership. This receivable represents the costs incurred by the Corporation in providing management and labor services to the Partnership but not yet paid by the Corporation and therefore not yet collected from the Partnership. The Corporation has no short-term or long- term debt. During 1994, the Corporation offered Class A and Class B Common Shares and received $21,369 under that offering. Class A and Class B Common Shares redeemed during 1993 totalled $18,405. Management believes, given the relationship between the Corporation and the Partnership whereby the Corporation is reimbursed by the Partnership for its cost in providing management and labor services to the Partnership, and given the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment of $1.2 million, that the Corporation's liquidity is adequate to meet both short-term and long-term needs.
Results of Operations
Years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993:
Net income in 1994 was $252,351 or $54.72 per Class A Common Share, compared to $146,399 or $31.66 per share in 1993. Income earned by the Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $73,318 in 1994 and the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's return on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was up $213,563. These increases were due to improved 1994 operating results of the Partnership and an increase in space utilized by the Partnership in the Corporation's office building. Interest earned and other income decreased by $27,096, primarily due to less space leased by outside tenants in the Corporation's office building. Federal income tax expense increased due to the increase in income.
Years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992:
Net income in 1993 was $146,399, or $31.66 per Class A Common Share, compared to $9,083, or $1.96 per share in 1992. Income earned by the Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $51,398 in 1993 and the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's return on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was up $175,185. These increases are a result of the improved 1993 operating results of the Partnership and an increase in reimbursable expenses. Federal income tax expense was up due to the increase in income.
During 1993 the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The Corporation elected to recognize the accrued benefits earned by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation) prospectively, which means this cost will be recognized as a component of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately 20 years. The effect of adopting the new rules increased the 1993 net periodic postretirement benefit cost by approximately $850,000. This cost was included in the management fee charged to the Partnership in 1993 and, therefore, had no impact on the operating results of the Corporation. Also during 1993, as a result of lower prevailing interest rates, the Corporation decreased the discount rate used to determine its projected benefit obligation for its pension plan and for its postretirement health care benefits from 8.0% to 7.5%. Because the Corporation charges all employee benefit costs to the Partnership as part of the management fee, the change in the discount rate will not impact the future operating results of the Corporation.

The Andersons Management Corp. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1994
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents
The Corporation considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Securities
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" in 1994. There was no cumulative effect as a result of the adoption.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held- to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The impact of this change was not significant.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Temporary differences relating to costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership are passed on to the Partnership through offsetting differences in the recognition of management fees by the Corporation. Deferred tax assets of the Corporation relate primarily to temporary differences associated with the Corporation's share of Partnership net income and amounted to $29,900 and $17,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Taxes paid during 1994 and 1993 amounted to $135,500 and $5,000, respectively, and tax refunds amounted to $5,900 in 1992.
Description of Common Shares
Common shares of the Corporation are held by limited partners of The Andersons. The holders of Class A shares are entitled to dividends, if declared, and to any surplus, earned or otherwise, of the Corporation upon liquidation or dissolution. The holders of Class B shares have sole voting power, but are not entitled to share in any dividends or surplus of the Corporation. Net income per share of Common Stock is computed based on the weighted average number of Class A Common Shares outstanding during the year.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
2. Investment in The Andersons
The Corporation is the sole general partner of The Andersons (the Partnership). As sole general partner, the Corporation provides all management and labor services required by the Partnership in its operations. In exchange for providing management services the Corporation charges the Partnership a management fee equal to: a) the salaries and cost of all employee benefits and other normal employee costs, paid or accrued for services performed by the Corporation's employees on behalf of the Partnership, b) reimbursable expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with its services to the Partnership, or on the Partnership's behalf, and c) an amount based on an achieved level of return on partners' invested capital of the Partnership to cover the Corporation's general overhead and to provide an element of profit to the Corporation.
The Corporation leases an office building under a lease that commenced on May 1, 1990. The Corporation is required to pay annual lease payments of $771,397 through 2000. The Corporation charges the Partnership rent for the space utilized in its operations, which amounted to $635,714, $529,982 and $516,344 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Partnership generally pays the Corporation for salaries and employee benefits as those costs are paid by the Corporation. Amounts due from the Partnership relating to postretirement benefits that will not be received within one year have been classified as a noncurrent asset.
The components of the management fee and rent charged by the Corporation to the Partnership consisted of the following:
Year ended December 31 1994 1993 1992 Costs and expenses: Salaries and wages $53,726,460 $47,706,731 $43,356,247 Employee benefits 15,673,685 14,619,453 13,426,059 Rent for office space and other reimbursable expenses 803,830 641,491 516,344 Achieved level of return of the Partnership 190,880 139,656 89,618 Total management fees $70,394,855 $63,107,331 $57,388,268
3. Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation sponsors several employee benefit programs which include the following: Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Retirement Savings Investment Plan, Cash Profit Sharing Plan, Management Performance Program and health insurance benefits.
Substantially all permanent employees are covered by the Corporation's Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The benefits are based on the employee's highest five consecutive years of compensation during their last ten years of service. The Corporation's policy is to pay into trusteed funds each year an amount equal to the annual pension expense calculated under the Entry Age Normal method.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Corporation's balance sheets as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
1994 1993 Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $5,743,223 in 1994 and $4,815,512 in 1993 $6,107,230 $5,159,779
Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $9,524,599 $8,222,470 Plan assets at fair value 7,297,051 6,568,985 Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets 2,227,548 1,653,485
Unrecognized net asset at adoption of FAS 87, net of amortization 193,338 243,817 Unrecognized net gain (loss) (435,467) 530,128 Prior service cost (29,044) (147,663) Net pension liability recognized in balance sheet (includes current portion of $415,365 in 1994 and $645,966 in 1993) $1,956,375 $2,279,767
Net periodic pension cost includes the following components:
Year ended December 31 1994 1993 1992 Service cost - benefits earned during the period $1,082,143 $1,135,948 $1,088,099 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 563,333 571,278 461,896 Return on plan assets 70,796 (493,623) (331,498) Net amortization and deferral (655,230) 10,420 (32,317) Net periodic pension cost $1,061,042 $1,224,023 $1,186,180
The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 7.5% and 4%, for 1994 and 1993. The weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining the expected return on plan assets included in net periodic pension cost was 8% for 1994, 1993 and 1992. Substantially all of the plan assets are invested in a family of mutual funds.
Under the Retirement Savings Investment Plan (RSIP) eligible participating employees may elect to contribute specified amounts up to the lesser of $9,240 or 15% of their gross pay on a tax-deferred basis to a trust for investment in a family of mutual funds. The Corporation contributes an amount equal to 50% of the participant's contributions, but not in excess of 3% of the participant's annual gross pay. Participants are fully vested in their contributions to the RSIP. Participants hired before January 1, 1993 vest immediately in the Corporation's matching contributions and participants hired after December 31, 1992 vest ratably over five years. The matching contributions to the RSIP amounted to $857,804, $761,536 and $682,099 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Substantially all permanent employees are included in the Cash Profit Sharing Plan. The Plan provides for participants to receive certain percentages of their pay as various threshold levels of return on capital of the Partnership are achieved. The Corporation also has a Management Performance Program for certain levels of management. Participants in the Management Performance Program are not eligible to participate in the Cash Profit Sharing Plan. The expense for profit sharing/management performance programs was $3,040,207, $2,050,273 and $1,331,260 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Corporation currently provides certain health insurance benefits to its employees, including retired employees. The Corporation has reserved the right in most circumstances to modify the benefits provided and in recent years has in fact made changes. Further changes were implemented in 1993 that will effect the benefits provided to future retirees. These changes include the minimum retirement age, years of service and a sharing in the cost of providing these benefits. In addition, the Medicare Part B reimbursement currently paid by the Corporation for retirees is being phased out over a five-year period.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This statement requires that the cost of providing postretirement health care benefits be accrued during the employees' working career rather than recognizing the cost of these benefits as claims are paid. The Corporation has elected to recognize the accrued benefits earned by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation) prospectively, which means this cost will be recognized as a component of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately 20 years. The effect of adopting the new rules increased net periodic postretirement benefit cost by approximately $840,000 and $850,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Postretirement benefit costs for 1992 of approximately $404,000, which were recorded on a cash basis, have not been restated. As all employee benefit costs are charged to the Partnership as described in Note 2, the change in accounting for postretirement benefit costs had no effect on the Corporation's net income.
The Corporation's postretirement benefits are not funded. The status of the plan as of December 31 is as follows:
1994 1993 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 6,281,193 $ 5,534,885 Fully eligible active plan participants 1,691,711 752,975 Other active participants 2,764,533 3,065,722 10,737,437 9,353,582
Unrecognized net transition obligation (7,570,994) (7,991,605) Unrecognized net loss (1,647,711) (582,737) Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 1,518,732 $ 779,240
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost includes the following components:
1994 1993 Service cost $ 245,186 $ 181,457 Interest cost 749,651 653,625 Net amortization 451,999 420,611 Net periodic postretirement benefit costs $ 1,446,836 $ 1,255,693
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the postretirement benefit cost was 7.5% for 1994 and 8% for 1993. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 7.5%.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of benefits covered by the plan was 11% in 1994, declining to 5% through the year 2000 and remaining at that level thereafter. A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the annual postretirement benefit cost by approximately $185,000 and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by approximately $1,670,000.
To partially fund self-insured health care and other employee benefits, the Corporation makes payments to a trust. Assets of the trust amounted to $2,639,566 and $2,710,395 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and such amounts are included in prepaid expenses.

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant
The Corporation's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the management of the Corporation's affairs, including its responsibilities as General Partner of the Partnership. Therefore, the Board directs the management and operations of the Partnership, through the Corporation, as General Partner, and pursuant to the Management Agreement. Day-to-day management decisions have been delegated by the Board to the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and various committees authorized by the Board.
Under the Corporation's Code of Regulations, the Board of Directors consists of not less than 7, nor more than 21, directors. Directors serve three year terms on a staggered basis so that no more than one-third of the entire Board is subject to election each year. Holders of Class B Shares have the opportunity to vote for the election of directors at annual meetings of the Corporation's shareholders, which are scheduled no later than May 31 each year. The Corporation's officers are appointed by the Board of Directors. The executive officers and directors of the Corporation are:

Certain Transactions - Alshire-Columbus:
The Partnership and certain of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation were limited partners in Alshire-Columbus Limited Partnership ("Alshire-Columbus"), an Ohio limited partnership, which owned the Partnership's Brice General Store in Columbus, Ohio. The store was leased to the Partnership by Alshire-Columbus at an annual base rental of $732,000.
The Partnership contributed the land, at its cost ($1,367,000), for its original limited partner interest. The other limited partners of Alshire- Columbus contributed $1,450,000, representing 35 limited partnership units. None of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation or their family members owned more than one limited partnership unit, except for Richard P. Anderson, who owned two units.
In the aggregate, 8 3/4 units were owned by directors and executive officers of the Corporation, and their family members owned an additional four units. The general partner of Alshire-Columbus experienced difficulties in refinancing the real property after the original seven year term of their note. During 1994, The Andersons obtained an independent appraisal of the property valued at $8.5 million and made an offer to purchase the property for that price. The initial lease term was scheduled to expire in 2000. The limited partners of Alshire-Columbus accepted the purchase offer from The Andersons. According to the partnership agreement, upon the sale of the real estate The Andersons received a preferential distribution from the proceeds of the sale equal to the original cost of the land contributed by The Andersons. The remaining proceeds from the sale, after payment of the debt and return of capital to limited partners, was distributed according to the partnership agreement which was 75% to the limited partners; 24% to The Andersons, as original limited partner; and 1% to the general partner.
