Item 1. Business.
Anuhco, Inc. ("Anuhco"), through its subsidiary, Crouse Cartage Company
("Crouse Cartage"), operates a diversified motor freight transportation
system primarily serving the upper central and midwest portion of the United
States. Crouse Cartage, acquired by Anuhco as of September 1, 1991, is a
regular-route motor common carrier of general commodities in less-than-
truckload ("LTL") quantities with a ten state service area, and also offers
irregular-route motor common carrier service for truckload quantities of
general and perishable commodities throughout the 48 contiguous United
States. Crouse Cartage operates as an autonomous company with the same
management and operations as before its acquisition by Anuhco. Anuhco, with
two employees, performs those functions required of a public holding company
and monitors the operations of Crouse Cartage.

operating revenue.
(2) Less-than-truckload refers to shipments weighing less than
10,000 pounds.
(3) Includes company-owned, company leased, agent and other
operating locations.
Crouse Cartage, an Iowa Corporation headquartered in Carroll, Iowa, is
engaged in the transportation of general commodities which include all types
of freight other than personal household goods, commodities of exceptionally
high value, explosives and commodities in bulk or requiring special
equipment. During 1993, LTL shipments (less than 10,000 pounds) comprised
77% of revenue and truckload shipments (10,000 pounds or greater) comprised
23% of revenue. Crouse Cartage is an LTL regular route common carrier with
LTL service in the 10 states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Kansas and Michigan. Crouse Cartage also
has a truckload general commodities and special commodities division which
operates in all 48 contiguous states. More than 90% of Crouse Cartage's
business originates or terminates within 400 miles of its headquarters.
Crouse Cartage with over 12,000 customers has a broad customer base, with no
one customer comprising 5% of its total revenue.
LTL shipments must be handled rapidly and carefully in several
coordinated stages. Shipments are first picked up from customers by local
drivers operating from the Crouse Cartage network of 48 service locations,
each of which services a particular territory. The freight is then
transported to a terminal, loaded into intercity trailers, carried by
linehaul drivers to the terminal which services the delivery area,
transferred to trucks or trailers and then delivered to the consignee by
local drivers. Much of Crouse Cartage's LTL freight is handled and/or
transferred through one of three centrally located "break bulk" terminals
between the origin and destination service areas. Competition for LTL
freight is primarily based upon service and freight rates. LTL operations
require substantial equipment capabilities and an extensive network of
terminal facilities. Accordingly, LTL operations, compared to truckload
shipments and operations, command higher rates per weight shipped and have
tended historically to be less vulnerable to competition from other forms of
transportation such as railroads. Crouse Cartage's concentrated and
efficient operations typically allow it to provide overnight service
(delivery on the day after pickup) on over 90% of the LTL freight it handles;
providing Crouse Cartage with a competitive advantage and the ability to
maintain compensatory rates.
Seasonality
Crouse Cartage's quarterly operating results, as well as those of the
motor carrier industry in general, fluctuate with the seasonal changes in
tonnage levels and with changes in weather-related operating conditions.
Tonnage levels are generally highest from September through November. A
smaller peak also generally occurs in April through June. Inclement weather
conditions during the winter months adversely affect the number of freight
shipments and increase operating costs. Historically, Crouse Cartage has
achieved its best operating results in the second and third quarters when
adverse weather conditions do not affect its operations and seasonal peaks
occur in the freight shipped via public transportation.
Insurance and Safety
Crouse Cartage is largely self-insured with respect to public liability,
property damage, workers' compensation, cargo loss or damage, fire, general
liability and other risks. In addition, Crouse Cartage maintains excess
liability coverage for risks over and above the self-insured retention
limits. All claims pending against Crouse Cartage are fully covered by
outside insurance or, in the opinion of management, are adequately reserved
under Crouse Cartage's self-insurance program.
Because most risks are largely self-insured, Crouse Cartage's insurance
costs are primarily a function of the success of its safety programs and less
subject to the large increases in insurance premiums experienced in recent
years by the motor carrier industry. Crouse Cartage conducts a comprehensive
safety program to meet its specific needs. Crouse Cartage's drivers have
good driving records and have won the Iowa State Truck Driving Championship
13 times in the past 15 years. Auto liability and workers' compensation
claims consistently are below industry average in number of claims and
amounts paid for such claims (approximately 2.1% of revenue in 1993).
Competition
Crouse Cartage's operations are subject to intense competition with
other motor common carriers and, to a lesser degree, with contract and
private carriage. The enactment of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980
substantially deregulated the trucking industry, eased entry requirements
into the transportation industry and increased competition among motor
carriers. Intense competition for freight has resulted in a proliferation of
discount programs among competing carriers. Crouse Cartage competes in such
price discounting on an account by account basis, taking into consideration
the cost of services relative to the net revenue to be obtained, the
competing carriers and the need for freight in specific traffic lanes.
Crouse Cartage's main competition over its shorter routes is with Con-Way
Central Express, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Central Transport, Sterling Heights,
Michigan; H&W Motor Express, Dubuque, Iowa; Hyman Freightways, St. Paul,
Minnesota; and Midland Transportation, Marshalltown, Iowa. For freight
moving over greater distances, Crouse Cartage must compete with national and
large inter-regional carriers. Crouse Cartage's reliable overnight service
on key lanes, very low level of freight loss and damage claims and general
shipper satisfaction have allowed it to maintain steady growth with a
compensatory level of rates.
Regulation
The interstate operations of Crouse Cartage are subject to regulation by
the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") and the Department of
Transportation ("DOT"). Crouse Cartage is also subject to state public
utilities commissions and similar state regulatory agencies with respect to
its intrastate operations. The ICC regulates entry into motor carrier
operations, rates and charges, tariffs, accounting systems and certain
mergers and consolidations. The DOT generally regulates driver
qualifications and safety and equipment standards. Crouse Cartage is also
subject to safety regulations of the states in which it operates, as well as
regulations governing the weight and dimensions of equipment.
Passage of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 represented, among other
things, an effort to increase competition among motor carriers and
substantially reduce industry regulation. Entry into the motor carrier
market has been facilitated by making ICC operating authority more readily
available. Carriers have been given the opportunity to greatly expand the
scope of their operations. (See "Competition".) In addition, the Motor
Carrier Act of 1980 limited the immunity from the antitrust laws previously
applicable to the trucking industry in setting prices for transportation
services. After July 1, 1984, collective discussions by motor carriers may
only involve general rate increases or tariff restructuring relating to
average costs for the industry as a whole. Such discussions may not relate
to individual single-line rates or specific markets. In addition, the Motor
Carrier Rate-Making Study Commission, established by the Motor Carrier Act of
1980, has, by majority vote, recommended to the Congress that antitrust
immunity for all motor carrier collective ratemaking be eliminated. The DOT
also has recommended an end to collective ratemaking.
Employees
Crouse Cartage employs approximately 806 persons, of whom approximately
664 are drivers, mechanics, dockworkers or terminal office clerks. The
remainder are engaged in managerial, sales and administrative functions.
Labor costs represent the largest single component of Crouse Cartage's
operating expenses, totaling 54.4% of consolidated revenue for 1993. In the
opinion of its management, Crouse Cartage has a good working relationship
with its employees.
Approximately 72% of Crouse Cartage employees, including primarily
drivers, dockworkers and mechanics, are represented by the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America
("Teamsters Union"). Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union are parties to
the National Master Freight Agreement ("NMFA") which expires on March 31,
1994. Negotiations by and between Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union for
the next contract period are ongoing. Crouse Cartage believes the final
impact of such negotiations will not significantly affect the results of
operations or financial position of the Company. As an employer signatory to
the agreement, Crouse Cartage must contribute to certain pension plans
established for the benefit of employees belonging to the Teamsters Union.
Under provisions of the NMFA, Crouse Cartage has maintained a profit
sharing program for all employees since 1988 ("Profit Sharing"). Profit
Sharing was implemented after 76% of the union employees and 84% of its non-
union employees voted for approval in 1988. In 1991, Profit Sharing was
extended for at least another 3 years after 90% of the union employees and
97% of the non-union employees voted for such extension. Although the
outcome is uncertain, Crouse Cartage believes the Profit Sharing will be
further extended coincident with the conclusion of the NMFA contract
negotiations. Profit Sharing is structured to allow all Crouse Cartage
employees to ratably share 50% of Crouse Cartage's income before income taxes
(excluding extraordinary items and gains and losses on the sale of assets) in
return for a 15% reduction in wages. Profit Sharing distributions, made
quarterly, totalled $3.3 million in 1993.
American Freight System, Inc.
Anuhco was a public holding company with several operating motor carrier
subsidiaries from 1983 through 1988, under the name American Carriers, Inc.
("ACI"). Following ACI's 1987 acquisition of a large motor carrier, and the
merger of its operations into American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS"), ACI's
largest LTL subsidiary, substantial operating losses were incurred in the
last half of 1987 and the first half of 1988. As a result of the heavy
operating losses and cancellation of ACI's bank credit, following ACI's
inability to obtain credit from other sources, AFS and ACI's other LTL
subsidiary, USA Western, Inc. ("USAW"), ceased operations and filed petitions
for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the
United States Code) and later in 1988 other subsidiaries of ACI also filed
under Chapter 11 ("Debtor Companies"). By the end of 1988 ACI was also under
the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; as a result of a
petition filed by multiemployer pension plans who were creditors of AFS and
who also asserted claims against ACI under the Multiemployer Pension Plan
Amendments Act of 1980. On July 11, 1991, ACI and the Debtor Companies were
discharged from bankruptcy under a reorganization plan confirmed by the U. S.
Bankruptcy Court, District of Kansas ("Joint Plan"). ACI's name was changed
to Anuhco, Inc., its authorized common stock was increased to 13 million
shares and it may only issue voting capital stock. Shareholders retained
their shares of ACI's common stock and no new securities were issued by ACI.
The other Debtor Companies were merged into AFS and AFS assumed all
liabilities of the bankruptcy estates and gained control of all assets of ACI
and its other subsidiaries; except for $3.8 million in cash and the capital
stock of AFS retained by ACI.
AFS was discharged from bankruptcy with an obligation to administer the
provisions of the Joint Plan under the control of a reconstituted AFS Board
of Directors, which currently consists of three individuals who formerly
served on creditors' committees of ACI and AFS, and two additional persons
selected by Anuhco. AFS is to sell its remaining non-cash assets and
distribute its assets as provided in the Joint Plan. AFS is to resolve
creditor claims against the estates of ACI and the Debtor Companies and make
distributions to holders of allowed claims as cash is available. The Joint
Plan also provides for certain distributions from AFS to Anuhco as unsecured
creditor distributions occur in excess of 50% of allowed claims, as shown in
the following table:
Cumulative Unsecured
Creditors' Distribution Anuhco Participation
50.01 - 70% $100,000 per percentage point
70.01 - 80% $ 25,000 per percentage point
80.01 - 130% $250,000 per percentage point
Anuhco receives the full benefit of any remaining assets through its
ownership of the capital stock of AFS if unsecured creditors receive
distributions equivalent to 130% of their allowed claims.
Anuhco and unsecured creditors have received distributions from AFS
during 1993 and 1992 as follows:
Cumulative Unsecured Cumulative Anuhco
Date Creditor Distribution % Participation
February 18, 1992 60% $1.00 Million
September 11, 1992 80% 2.25 Million
April 15, 1993 90% 4.75 Million
October 13, 1993 95% 6.00 Million
AFS currently projects that cumulative unsecured creditor distributions
will equal or exceed 110% of allowed claims and that additional distributions
to Anuhco will approximate $4 million, excluding any effects of the judgment
held against Westinghouse Credit Corporation.
AFS had 14 remaining employees and $37 million of assets as of December
31, 1993. As the Joint Plan provides that liabilities of AFS will be settled
solely with the assets of AFS, the liabilities have been set equal to assets
in the accompanying financial statements in which AFS is treated as a
discontinued operation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. (See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements -
Discontinued Operations for further discussion.)
Item 2. Properties.
Anuhco owns property through Crouse Cartage which operates a modern
intercity fleet and maintains a network of terminals to support the intercity
movement of freight. Crouse Cartage owns most of its fleet but leases some
equipment from owner-operators to supplement the owned equipment and to
provide flexibility in meeting seasonal and cyclical business fluctuations.
As of December 31, 1993 Crouse Cartage owned 446 tractors and 37 trucks.
During 1993 Crouse Cartage leased 173 tractors and 30 flatbed trailers from
owner-operators. On December 31, 1993, it also owned 248 temperature
controlled trailers, 594 volume vans (including 176 53-foot high-cube van
trailers), and 27 flatbed trailers.
The table below sets forth the number of operating locations at year end
for the last three years:
1993 1992 1991
Owned terminals....... 10 9 9
Leased terminals...... 19 19 20
Agency terminals...... 19 16 13
Total............ 48 44 42
Effective January 1, 1994, Crouse Cartage exercised its purchase options
under certain operating leases to purchase eleven (11) of the "Leased
Terminals", above (See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for
further discussion).
The depreciated net book value of Crouse Cartage's property and
equipment at December 31 was:

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On February 5, 1991, ACI and the Debtor Subsidiaries filed a Joint Plan
of Reorganization ("Joint Plan") and a related Disclosure Statement with the
United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Kansas, Topeka Division
("Bankruptcy Court"). After approval by each class of creditors entitled to
vote and the equity security holders, on June 10, 1991, following the
confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Joint Plan with an
Effective Date of July 11, 1991. The Joint Plan provided for the
reorganization of ACI with $3.8 million in cash, no debt and the expressed
intent of acquiring one or more operating companies; and the administration
of the Joint Plan by AFS. (See Item 1, American Freight System, Inc. for
further discussion.)
On January 12, 1994 a complaint was filed in the District Court of
Johnson County, Kansas, against Anuhco, AFS and certain employees of those
companies by a former employee of AFS. Such complaint alleges breach of
contract, promissory estoppel, tortious interference, and misrepresentation
and fraud, as it relates to an alleged incentive compensation arrangement
between the former employee and AFS. The suit claims, from Anuhco and
others, actual damages in excess of $2 million and punitive damages of $5
million. Management believes such claims will not likely have a material
adverse effect on Anuhco's financial position or business.
Anuhco's subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation, other than
litigation being conducted pursuant to the Joint Plan, primarily involving
claims for personal injury and property damage incurred in the
transportation of freight and the collection of receivables. Anuhco and its
subsidiaries maintain insurance programs and accrue for expected losses in
amounts designed to cover liability resulting from personal injury and
property damage claims. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such
claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's financial
position.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the
fourth quarter of 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial statements for the registrant
include both Anuhco and Crouse Cartage for the full year. The 1991 results
include Anuhco from July 11, 1991, the effective date of the Joint Plan and
the operations of Crouse Cartage from September 1, 1991, the date it was
acquired by Anuhco. The 1991 operations were affected by a recession which
continued to have some impact on operations in 1992.
Anuhco, through its subsidiary Crouse Cartage, was able to continue its
growth in total revenue and number of LTL shipments in 1993. In 1993 total
tonnage of shipments increased by 3.8% over 1992; with LTL tonnage increasing
9.7% and truckload tonnage decreasing by 0.3%. The decrease in truckload
tonnage resulted in a 0.1% increase in truckload revenue per hundredweight
due to the retention of the more profitable traffic. In spite of a January
1993 rate increase, LTL revenue per hundredweight only increased 0.1% due to
the continued effects of rate discounting.
In 1992 total tonnage of shipments increased by 4.9% over 1991; with LTL
tonnage increasing 19.0% and truckload tonnage decreasing by 2.8%. The
decrease in truckload tonnage resulted in a 3.7% increase in truckload
revenue per hundredweight due to the retention of more profitable traffic.
In spite of a 3.0% rate increase, LTL revenue per hundredweight decreased
2.3% largely as a result of industry freight rate discounting; fueled by the
continued softness of the economy and excess capacity in the motor carrier
industry. Led by a 1.3% increase in salaries and wages in 1992 under the
labor contract effective April 1, 1991, and with a 3.9% increase in number of
employees, operating expenses increased 12.1% over 1991, while revenue
increased by 12.3%; resulting in a 22.3% increase in Anuhco's operating
income.
Crouse Cartage increased its total revenue and number of LTL shipments
in the full year 1991 from the full year 1990, albeit at a lower rate of
growth and with a lower level of profitability than in the previous year,
while truckload shipments dropped. In 1991 total tonnage of shipments
decreased by 8.5% from 1990; with LTL tonnage increasing 10.3% and truckload
tonnage decreasing by 16.3%. The reduction in truckload tonnage resulted in
a 9.9% increase in truckload revenue per hundredweight due to the retention
of the more profitable traffic. In spite of a 5.5% rate increase, LTL
revenue per hundredweight decreased 1.3% largely as a result of industry
freight rate discounting; fueled by the soft economy, excess capacity in the
motor carrier industry and lower fuel prices. Led by a 7.3% increase in
salaries and wages in 1991, under the new labor contract effective April 1,
1991 and with a 2% increase in number of employees, operating expenses
increased 4.4% over 1990, while revenue only increased by 3.7%; resulting in
a 7.4% decrease in Crouse Cartage's operating income, excluding any expenses
resulting from its acquisition by Anuhco.
As a result of inflationary cost increases and in anticipation of labor
and other cost increases in 1994, freight rate increases were made effective
January 1, 1994 which could favorably impact revenues, if the economy
improves and industry wide discounting does not accelerate. Indications are
that expenses will increase generally in line with increases experienced in
1993.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Anuhco continued to strengthen its financial position during 1993 and
1992. At the beginning of 1992 assets totaled $18.2 million while
shareholders' equity amounted to $6.1 million. By the end of 1993 total
assets had increased to $24.5 million and shareholders' equity had increased
to $17.1 million. During this period long-term debt was reduced from $6.9
million to $1.9 million, while the Company's cash position increased from
$2.8 million to $4.7 million. Major factors contributing to these
improvements were successful operations creating $2.7 million and $2.3
million of net income and discontinued operations which generated $3.75
million and $2.25 million of net income for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
increased capital is being utilized to further upgrade the company's
equipment and for additions and enhancement of terminal facilities. Capital
expenditures totaled $2.7 million and $4.3 million in 1993 and 1992,
respectively; including $2.0 million to acquire and improve a Chicago area
freight terminal and over $4.8 million in equipment upgrades.
Anuhco expects available cash and cash generated from 1994 operations to
be sufficient to fund its operations, service its debt and to meet other cash
needs for 1994. Should additional cash be required, Crouse Cartage has a
$2.5 million secured revolving credit agreement with Bankers Trust Company of
Des Moines, Iowa, with no balance outstanding on December 31, 1993, which is
available to meet short term operational needs and long-term requirements.
In addition to principal payments on long-term debt, the $1.9 million of long
term debt bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% per annum.
At December 31, 1993, Crouse Cartage owns or leases 28 parcels of real
property which are utilized in their operations. Because many of these
facilities maintain underground or other fuel storage tanks, some ongoing
environmental liability exists; however, management is not aware of any
material contamination.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 which will become effective in 1994. This
statement requires the recording of certain post employment benefit
obligations over the service life of such employees. This statement will not
have a material impact on financial position or results of operations.
AFS is accounted for as a discontinued operation in the financial
statements with a net asset value of zero; due to provisions of the Joint
Plan which provide that all assets of AFS are dedicated to payments of
obligations under the Joint Plan and that AFS' liabilities, including
administrative costs, will be paid out of its net assets.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of Anuhco, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Anuhco, Inc.
(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 consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anuhco,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedules IV, V, VI, VIII and X are
presented for the purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

ANUHCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1993 and 1992
1. Acquisition and Plan of Reorganization
On August 2, 1991, Anuhco, Inc. ("Anuhco") entered into an agreement for
the acquisition of Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse Cartage"), a regional
less-than-truckload motor carrier. The acquisition was consummated effective
September 1, 1991 with the final purchase price composed of $5.5 million
cash, a $4.0 million convertible note and 1,342,524 shares of common stock in
exchange for the outstanding shares of Crouse Cartage. This transaction has
been accounted for as a purchase and the operating results of Crouse Cartage
have been consolidated with Anuhco beginning September 1, 1991.
On June 10, 1991, the Joint Plan of Reorganization ("Joint Plan") was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court resulting in the formal discharge of
American Carriers, Inc. ("ACI"), American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS"), and
other subsidiaries from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings. ACI filed with
the Secretary of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of
incorporation changing its name to Anuhco, Inc., prohibiting the issuance of
non-voting capital stock and increasing the authorized common stock to 13
million shares.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
Anuhco and all of its subsidiary companies ("the Company"), all of which are
wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Depreciation and Maintenance - Depreciation is computed using the straight-
line method and the following useful lives for new equipment:
Revenue Equipment -
Linehaul Tractors 3 - 5 years
Linehaul Trailers 3 - 5 years
Terminal Facilities 19 - 31.5 years
Other Equipment 2 - 10 years
Upon sale or retirement of operating property, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected
in non-operating income. The Company expenses costs related to repairs and
overhauls of equipment as incurred.
Cost of Tires - The cost of tires, including those purchased with new
equipment, is expensed when the tires are placed in service.
Recognition of Revenues - Operating revenues, and related direct expenses,
are recognized when freight is delivered. Other operating expenses are
recognized as incurred.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
liability method as specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are
determined based upon the difference between the book and the tax basis of
the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are provided at the
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse.
Discontinued Operations - American Freight System, Inc. has been accounted
for as a "discontinued operation" with only the "net assets" of this
operation reflected on the Anuhco financial statements. Anuhco recognizes
income from discontinued operations upon receipt of a distribution in
accordance with the Joint Plan (See Note 12).
Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of the consolidated statement of
cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
3. Employee Benefits
Multiemployer Plans
Crouse Cartage contributed $2,780,082, $2,573,270 and $805,164 to the
multiemployer pension plans for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Crouse
Cartage contributed $3,600,635, $3,128,312 and $1,005,485 to the
multiemployer health and welfare plans for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Contribution amounts for 1991 relate only to the post-acquisition period of
September 1 through December 31.
Non-Union Pension Plan
Crouse Cartage has a defined contribution profit sharing (as defined by the
Internal Revenue Code) plan ("the Non-union Plan") providing for a mandatory
Company contribution of 5% of annual earned compensation of the non-union
employees. Additional discretionary contributions can be made by Crouse
Cartage depending upon profitability of Crouse Cartage. Any discretionary
funds contributed to the Non-union Plan will be invested 100% in Anuhco
Common Stock.
Crouse Cartage had a defined benefit pension plan covering employees not
covered under collective bargaining agreements. Crouse Cartage terminated
this plan effective December 31, 1992, at which time all benefit accruals
ceased. Benefits under the plan were based on years of service and the
employees' compensation during the last three years of employment. All par-
ticipants who had met this plan's requirements, who had been entered into
this plan and who were actively employed by Crouse Cartage as of the
termination date, are 100% vested in their accrued plan benefits. Crouse
Cartage has purchased an annuity contract to satisfy the individual accrued
plan benefits as of the termination date. Crouse Cartage intends to
distribute any excess plan assets to plan participants as additional
annuities or through rolling them into the Non-union Plan. The Company
believes the plan assets will be sufficient to settle all termination
obligations and expenses, including the participants' accrued plan benefits.
Final settlement of the terminated plan is expected in 1994.
Pension expense, exclusive of the multi-employer pension plans, was
$80,000, $0 and $184,845 for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes a pension liability of
$152,158 and $375,000 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Profit Sharing
In September, 1988, the employees of Crouse Cartage approved the
establishment of a profit sharing plan ("the Plan"). The Plan is structured
to allow all employees (union and non-union) to ratably share 50% of Crouse
Cartage's income before income taxes (excluding extraordinary items and gains
or losses on the sale of assets) in return for a 15% reduction in their
wages. The Plan calls for profit sharing distributions to be made on a
quarterly basis. The Plan was recertified in 1991, and shall continue in
effect through March 31, 1994, or until a replacement Collective Bargaining
Agreement is reached between the parties, whichever is the later. Although
the outcome is uncertain, Crouse Cartage believes the Plan will be further
extended coincident with the conclusion of the overall union contract
negotiations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes profit
sharing accruals of $986,583 and $742,408 for 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The accompanying consolidated statement of income includes profit sharing
expense of $3,307,862, $3,071,057 and $874,268 for 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
401(k) Plan
Effective January 1, 1990, Crouse Cartage established a salary deferral
program under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"). To
date, participant contributions to the 401(k) plan have not been matched with
Company contributions. All employees of the Company are eligible to
participate in the 401(k) plan after they attain age 21 and complete one year
of qualifying employment.
4. Insurance Coverage
Claims and insurance accruals reflect accrued insurance premiums and the
estimated cost of incurred claims for cargo loss and damage, bodily injury
and property damage and workers' compensation not covered by insurance.
Workers' compensation expense is included in "Salaries, wages and fringe
benefits" in the accompanying statement of income.
The Company's public liability and property damage, cargo and workers'
compensation premiums are subject to retrospective adjustments based on
actual incurred losses. The actual adjustments normally are not known for at
least one year; however, based upon a review of the preliminary compilation
of losses incurred through December 31, 1993, management does not believe any
material adjustment will be made to the premiums paid or accrued at that
date.
In connection with its public liability and property damage, cargo and
workers' compensation insurance coverage, the Company has an irrevocable
standby letter of credit ("LOC"), which at December 31, 1993, was $850,000.
The LOC, required by the Company's insurance provider, is deemed to be
automatically extended unless notice of termination is given. The fee for
the LOC is 1% of the LOC amount.
5. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt was as follows, as of December 31:
1993 1992
(In Thousands)
Convertible Note, due October 31, 1995, with
interest varying at prime rate plus 1% (7%
at December 31, 1993)..................... $ 1,860 $ 3,580
Note Payable to AFS, due through 1993, with
interest varying at prime rate (Note 12).. -- 258
Capitalized leases with interest at
approximately 9.6%........................ -- 89
Revolving Credit Agreement (Note 6).......... -- --
1,860 3,927
Less - Current maturities.................... -- 297
$ 1,860 $ 3,630
The Convertible Note is payable to sellers of Crouse Cartage, including
certain employees, Crouse Cartage officers, and a director and officer of
Anuhco. If such note remains unpaid for 15 days after maturity, October 15,
1995, the holders of the note, may at their option, elect to convert the
unpaid principal and interest thereunder into 11% cumulative $100 par value
preferred stock. The number of such shares is to be determined by dividing
the aggregate dollar amount of the unpaid principal and interest by 100.
Under certain conditions and upon 30 days prior written notice to the
Company, all but not less than all of the preferred stock may be converted to
common stock.
There are no required payments of existing long-term debt during 1994
through 1998. However, it is the Company's intent to repay the Convertible
Note prior to the option date or otherwise prevent its conversion. At
December 31, 1993, substantially all net property, equipment and accounts
receivable was subject to liens under various debt instruments.
6. Revolving Credit Agreement
In September, 1988, Crouse Cartage entered into a five-year credit
agreement with a commercial bank which provided for maximum borrowings
equaling the lesser of $2,500,000 or the borrowing base, as defined in such
agreement. Based on the value of its revenue equipment, such borrowing base
exceeds $2,500,000 at December 31, 1993. This agreement was amended and
superseded on September 30, 1991, and Anuhco was added as a guarantor. In
May, 1993 the term was extended to July 31, 1995. There was no outstanding
balance on this revolving line of credit at December 31, 1993 or 1992.
On the last day of each calendar month through the term of the agreement,
Crouse Cartage is required to pay to the bank equal payments of principal,
each in an amount equal to one forty-eighth (1/48) of the highest unpaid
principal balance of the previous 12-month period. The agreement provides
for interest on borrowings at the bank's prime rate. The effective rate at
December 31, 1993, was 6%. The agreement can be terminated by the bank on
six months notice or by Crouse Cartage on 30 days notice after full payment
of any debt to the bank. The terms of the agreement require the maintenance
of a minimum shareholder's equity and contain restrictions on declaration and
payment of dividends, acquisition of Crouse Cartage stock, loans to officers
or employees, type of investments and annual capital expenditures. The
Company was in compliance with all such restrictions at December 31, 1993.
7. Common Stock
In accordance with a resolution to amend Anuhco's Certificate of
Incorporation, duly prepared and adopted at the Company's 1993 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting, the capital stock of Anuhco was changed from stock
without par value to $0.01 par value per share effective June 1, 1993. Such
change has no impact on total shareholders' equity but does require a
reclassification of a portion of capital stock to paid-in capital. This
amendment will provide a cost savings on certain franchise taxes.
An Incentive Stock Option Plan was adopted in 1983 which provides that
options for shares of Anuhco Common Stock may be granted to officers and key
employees at fair market value of the stock at the time such options are
granted. This plan terminated under its provisions in May, 1993 and no
further options may be granted. At December 31, 1993 options for 30,000
shares were outstanding at an average option price of $2.36 per share and
options for 10,000 were exercisable. The remaining outstanding options will
become exercisable over a period through 1997.
An Incentive Stock Plan was adopted in 1992 which provides that options for
shares of Anuhco Common Stock shall be granted to directors, and may be
granted to officers and key employees at fair market value of the stock at
the time such options are granted. At December 31, 1993 options for 73,000
shares were outstanding at an average option price of $4.00 per share and
options for 14,500 shares were exercisable. The remaining outstanding
options will become exercisable over a period through 2003.
8. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability
method as required in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The impact of significant temporary
differences and carryforwards representing deferred tax assets and
liabilities is determined utilizing the enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such differences reverse.
Deferred tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following at
December 31:
1993 1992
(In Thousands)
Liabilities:
Property and equipment, princi-
pally due to differences in
depreciation................... $ 1,155 $ 1,258

At December 31, 1992 the Company had $25 million of net operating loss
carryforwards and $1 million of tax credit carryforwards which will be
available for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Company
generated net operating loss carryforwards in 1993. The amount of these
additional carryforwards is estimated to be in excess of $10 million. The
net operating loss carryforwards will expire over a period from 2005 to 2008.
The tax credit carryforwards expire over a period from 1998 to 2001.
The following is a reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate
to the effective income tax rate.
1993 1992 1991
Federal statutory income tax rate......... 35.0% 34.0% 34.0%
State income tax rate, net................ 7.9 7.9 7.5
Net operating losses...................... (42.9) (41.9) (41.5)
Effective income tax rate................. 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
No net provision for income tax has been made for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1992 or 1991 and no asset related to the Company's net operating
loss carryforwards has been recognized due to significant tax losses from the
discontinued operations during those years and projected future tax losses.
9. Union Contract
During 1991, Crouse Cartage negotiated with its unions for a new contract
and in June, 1991, the unions approved a three-year National Master Freight
Agreement ("the Agreement") with wage rate increases of $0.50 per hour in
1991 and $0.45 per hour in 1992 and 1993. The Agreement included a profit
sharing program provided that such program was ratified by at least 75% of
the Company's bargaining unit employees (see Note 3). Negotiations by and
between Crouse Cartage and the Teamsters Union for the next contract period
are ongoing. Crouse Cartage believes the final impact of such negotiations
will not significantly affect the results of operations or financial position
of the Company.
10. Long-Term Obligation Receivable
In connection with the sale of its terminal in Hodgkins, Illinois, Crouse
Cartage received a $1,000,000 Subordinated Tax Incremental General Obligation
Bond, Series 1991 ("the Bond"), issued by the Village of Hodgkins, Illinois.
The Bond has a face value of $1,000,000, accrues interest at a rate of 14%
and is due in December, 2009. Interest at 10% is payable semi-annually on
June 1 and December 1, and interest at 4% is due on the December 20th
immediately following the date that the principal amount is paid in full.
Payments of interest and the repayment of the Bond principal will be funded
by future tax revenues from the commercial development of the acquired
property and no payments have been made, to date. Based upon the Village of
Hodgkins' current cash flow projections and the timing of interest and
principal payments, the effective interest rate on the Bond is estimated to
be approximately 9%. Accrued interest, during 1993 and 1992 of $90,000, has
been recorded as an addition to the carrying value of this bond.
11. Contingencies and Commitments
The Company is party to certain other claims and litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of
such claims and litigation will not materially affect the Company's financial
position.
Crouse Cartage leases buildings and office equipment under various leases
which expire from 1994 to 2001. The majority of these building leases are
with a former owner of Crouse Cartage. Effective January 1, 1994, Crouse
Cartage exercised its purchase options under certain operating leases. Such
options covered the purchase of twelve (12) facilities (11 terminals and a
salvage store operation) from P&R Realty, a sole proprietorship and related
party, for approximately $2.6 million. The option prices were based on the
market value of each property, as established by an independent real estate
appraiser, and were each equal to or less than the appraised values. Crouse
Cartage financed these purchases through currently available operating funds,
which included borrowing of $0.5 million on its $2.5 million revolving credit
agreement. Crouse Cartage has utilized these facilities for its operations
for numerous years and currently anticipates their continued use without
change.
The exercise of these options will, among other things, have the effect of
reducing rental expense by approximately $314,000 annually. Rental expense
for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $492,262, $576,066 and $597,822, respectively.
At December 31, 1993, there are no future minimum lease payments under
noncancellable operating leases having initial or remaining lease terms of
more than one year.
Payments are made to tractor owner-operators under various short-term lease
agreements for the use of revenue equipment. These lease payments, which
totaled $9,554,580, $9,416,968 and $9,275,336 for 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively, are primarily based on miles traveled or on a percent of
revenue generated through the use of the equipment.
Future commitments for the purchase of operating property totaled
approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 1993, including the aforementioned
exercise of options on real property. The total amount of this commitment
was paid in January, 1994 and was funded by current operations and a $500,000
draw on the revolving credit agreement.
12. Discontinued Operations
Under the provisions of the Joint Plan, American Freight System, Inc.
("AFS") is responsible for the continued resolution of pre-July 12, 1991
creditor claims and conversion of assets owned before that date. As claims
are allowed and cash is available, distributions to the creditors will occur.
The Joint Plan also provides for distributions to Anuhco as unsecured
creditor distributions occur in excess of 50% of allowed claims in accordance
with the following table. Such distributions are recognized as "Income from
Discontinued Operations" by Anuhco at the time they are received.
Cumulative Unsecured
Creditors' Distribution Anuhco Participation
50.01 - 70% $100,000 per percentage point
70.01 - 80% $ 25,000 per percentage point
80.01 - 130% $250,000 per percentage point
Anuhco also receives the full benefit of any remaining assets through its
ownership of AFS stock, if unsecured creditors receive distributions,
including interest, equivalent to 130% of their claims.
The preceding and the following information does not disclose all the
financial impacts of the Joint Plan. For a more in-depth analysis, the
complete Joint Plan and related Disclosure Statement, incorporated in this
10-K by reference, should be reviewed.

Assets and Liabilities - Assets, including property and equipment remaining

Certain contingent assets have been identified and are described in the
Disclosure Statement. Among these contingent assets is a judgment against
Westinghouse Credit Corporation ("WCC").
On February 23, 1993, a judgment in favor of Anuhco and AFS was entered in
the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, Missouri ("the
Court"). This judgment was entered in a case filed by Anuhco and AFS against
WCC seeking damages as a result of WCC's failure to provide financing
pursuant to a loan commitment issued on June 3, 1988. The judgment awarded
$70 million in actual damages to be paid to Anuhco and AFS. WCC filed
motions with the Court to have this judgment set aside or to have a new trial
granted. On April 8, 1993 WCC's motions were overruled. WCC filed a notice
of appeal of this judgment with the Western District Court of Appeals of
Missouri and posted a $76.35 million surety bond in support of such judgment,
accrued interest (9% simple interest) and other costs. Oral arguments before
the appellate court were made on November 4, 1993, with an order expected
during the first half of 1994.
The Appellate Court could (i) reverse the Court's decision, thereby
eliminating the judgment; (ii) remand the case to the Court for retrial; or
(iii) affirm the Court's decision. Even with the affirmation of the
Appellate Court, WCC could request a rehearing before the Appellate Court
and/or a transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court.
Any damages paid, net of trial expenses, will be remitted to AFS and AFS
will distribute such proceeds under the Joint Plan. Under the Joint Plan, if
the judgment is affirmed and/or is otherwise substantially collected and the
other assets of the discontinued operations are liquidated, Anuhco could
receive net proceeds of $29 million to $37 million, including the additional
$4 million described under "Distributions" below. This represents $4 to $5
per share based on Anuhco's 7.5 million currently outstanding shares. Anuhco
and AFS are unable to predict when or how this matter or other contingent
asset issues will ultimately be resolved and, therefore, they have not been
included in the above assets.
AFS has provided notice to all known creditors and the deadline for filing
claims to be resolved under the Joint Plan has expired. Creditors are barred
from submitting claims after the deadline. Claims filed by the creditors are
significantly in excess of recorded liabilities. In addition, unliquidated
and/or contingent claims were filed; the potentially significant claims are
described in the Disclosure Statement. Although some of these claims may
result in an increase in liabilities, the amount and timing of such
liabilities are unknown. AFS is in the process of investigating these
claims, however until this process is completed the amount of liabilities to
be settled cannot be ascertained. The ultimate resolution of the amounts,
validity and priority of recorded liabilities and other claims is uncertain
at this time. Accordingly, liabilities are reflected at estimated amounts
due or are based on claims filed with the debtor and modified to reflect AFS
assets available to distribute on such liabilities.
Future Administrative Costs and Investment Income - AFS will continue to
incur professional fees and other administrative costs in connection with the
sale of its assets, collection of receivables and settlement of its
liabilities. In addition, investment income will be realized on funds
invested pending disbursements to creditors. The amount of such costs and
income will depend on many factors including the length of time the close-
down process continues. An accrual of $3.4 million for future administrative
costs net of investment income has been reflected in the 1993 consolidated
financial statements. The estimated costs and/or income and any deviations
therefrom are absorbed by AFS and only impact Anuhco as a result of the
aforementioned participation arrangement.
Distributions - On February 18, 1992, September 11, 1992, April 15, 1993
and October 13, 1993 AFS made interim distributions under the Joint Plan at
the rate of 20%, 20%, 10% and 5%, respectively, of each allowed unsecured
claim. Anuhco's participation in these distributions were $1 million, $1.25
million, $2.5 million and $1.25 million, respectively. A portion of these
distributions was applied as payment of a note payable to AFS. To date AFS
has distributed a total of 95% on allowed claims which is a more favorable
result than was assumed in the March 21, 1991 Disclosure Statement relating
to the Joint Plan.
Such result is due to favorable (i) settlements of certain claims, (ii)
court decisions, and (iii) asset realizations. A revised projection,
excluding any impact of the WCC judgment, is that total distributions to
Anuhco (including the $6 million previously distributed) may exceed $10
million. This revised projection continues to include the assumptions
enumerated in the Disclosure Statement regarding conditions and
contingencies. Due to the number and value of claims to be resolved and
assets to be converted to cash, the timing and amount of additional interim
distributions and the timing of the final distribution have not been included
in the revised projection.
SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Summary of Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)
Anuhco's quarterly operating results, as well as those of the motor
carrier industry in general, fluctuate with the seasonal changes in tonnage
levels and with changes in weather related operating conditions. Inclement
weather conditions during the winter months adversely affect freight
shipments and increase operating costs. Historically, Anuhco has achieved
its best operating results in the second and third quarters when adverse
weather conditions have a lessor effect on operating efficiency.
Discontinued operations reflects the continuing winddown of the AFS and
related estates. The amounts and timing of future distributions/income are
not known (see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements).
The following table sets forth selected unaudited financial information for
each quarter of 1993 and 1992 (in thousands, except per share amounts).
