PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company is a construction materials company focusing primarily on
products for roofing, sealing and paving applications. The Company develops,
manufactures and markets several separate but related product lines including
roof and driveway coatings and paving products, industrial emulsions, air
barriers, polyurethane foam for roofing and commercial uses, sealants for
construction and marine uses and specialty products.
Beginning in 1988, the Company's management focused on expanding the Henry
brand from its Southern California base initially through the acquisition of
regional roof coatings manufacturers and distributors in contiguous regions of
the Southwest, the Northwest, Northern California and the Rocky Mountain region.
In 1998, the Company became a national organization by acquiring Monsey Bakor,
which has served the U.S. and Canadian markets for over 50 years as a leading
manufacturer and distributor of a broad spectrum of building products for
residential and commercial use with a product line consisting of roof coatings,
adhesives and membranes, roofing and air barrier systems as well as specialized
industrial emulsions. In 1999, the Company acquired Grundy Industries, a leading
roof coatings manufacturer focused on servicing the professional trade in the
Midwest and Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.
DIVISIONS
The Company's two major divisions are the Henry Coatings Division and the
Resin Technology Division.
HENRY COATINGS DIVISION
The Henry Coatings Division, which accounted for the bulk of the Company's
1999 net sales, develops, manufactures and markets coatings, sealants and
membranes for construction, industrial, building materials and other specialty
applications. The Company also manufactures wax-based emulsions for the gypsum
industry.
PRODUCTS
Roofing products represent the majority of the Coatings Division's total
revenues. Henry's roofing products are designed to address the problems of water
invasion, wind erosion and ultraviolet damage. Henry offers a full line of
liquid roof coatings and adhesives including both solvent and water-based
products. In addition to roof coatings and mastics, Henry manufactures
high-quality modified bitumen roofing membrane products (SBS) designed to be
used in roofing systems that can meet the challenge of the elements encountered
throughout North America.
The Company offers a full line of reflective coatings designed to improve
roof aesthetics and aid in the conservation of energy through their reflective
qualities. Henry's reflective coatings product line includes both white acrylic
and solvent-based coatings and high-quality aluminum products and the
accessories needed to protect roofs for years.
Henry's industrial emulsions are used as coating, sizing, strengthening and
moisture-proofing additives by manufacturers of fiber products such as gypsum
wallboard, insulation board, gaskets, paper board, and glass fibers. The
Company's primary emulsion product, wax-based industrial emulsions, are
specifically used by manufacturers of gypsum wallboards. Sales of industrial
emulsions have increased in recent years partially due to increased
environmental restrictions on volatile organic compound emissions, which has
created a demand for emulsion-based products over solvent-based products. The
Company's wax-based
2
emulsions are manufactured with proprietary and patented processes that
management believes contributes to higher margins relative to those of
competitors.
Driveway maintenance and paving products manufactured by Henry are used for
the asphalt highway market and the preventative maintenance of asphalt parking
lots and driveways. Henry Company produces polymerized asphalt, an asphalt
binder that is a key ingredient of paving asphalts.
The Company's air barrier systems are designed to reduce air flows through
exterior walls of buildings. The movement of air into a building (infiltration)
and out of a building (exfiltration) is caused by pressure differences produced
by wind, chimney effect and pressurization. If air flows through a building and
exfiltrates, it can deposit moisture on the cold masonry cladding, causing brick
or stone to undergo major changes due to moisture absorption. This dampness can
cause dimensional changes and accelerate the deterioration process.
Moisture-laden air from a humidified building can also develop into ice under
freezing conditions, causing displacement of the exterior masonry cladding,
corrosion, and lower energy efficiency. The advantage of the Company's
prefabricated modified bitumen sheet is that it provides a flexible air barrier
membrane capable of bridging construction gaps and absorbing deflection. The
Company's line of air barriers can be installed into existing buildings on
either internal or external walls or used in the construction of new buildings.
In 1986, Canada required air barriers in all buildings as an amendment to the
National Building Code. In the United States, however, there is no national
standard and the air barrier market remains in its infancy.
The Company's specialty products include protective coatings for a variety
of industrial and commercial applications, such as specialty asphalt coatings to
protect wood, metal, mortar or thermal insulation. The Company manufactures
undercoatings for mobile homes, as well as both solvent and water-based rust-
proofing products for the automobile industry. The Company also produces a broad
range of paint products for interior and exterior use and a number of coatings
for wood preservation and agricultural purposes.
The Company's sealant line has three distinct product categories: sealants
for construction applications, hatch cover sealants for ocean freighters, and
preformed adhesive waterstops for expansion joint applications on construction
projects. Products include a preformed plastic gasket for precast concrete
structures, which provides watertight sealing for joints such as those on
underground concrete drainage and manhole structures. These products are also
used for sealing hatch covers on ships to prevent water damage to cargoes that
can occur in heavy seas. There is also a preformed plastic adhesive waterstop
which is used as a construction joint sealant in poured-in-place concrete
structures. Henry Company believes this product allows for an easier, more
reliable and more efficient sealing method than the traditional PVC-type
waterstop.
MANUFACTURING
For purposes of organizing its manufacturing process, the Company uses seven
related product groups. The product groups are: cold applied liquid coatings,
cements and adhesives; asphalt, coal tar and wax emulsions; acrylic-based roof
and insulation coatings; hot melt rubberized asphalt roofing and waterproofing
products; styrene-butadiene-styrene ("SBS") modified bitumen membranes, air
barrier and waterproofing membranes; specialty adhesives; and specialty
preformed asphaltic tapes. The facilities at which these products are produced
are shown in Item 2 ("Properties").
The key materials used in the production of roofing and pavement products
are asphalt, mineral spirits, various fibers, resins, and polyester and glass
matting. For the production of industrial emulsions, the primary material is
refined wax. These raw materials are generally available on a regional basis and
supply disruptions are very rare. The Company maintains multiple sourcing
arrangements for all of its key materials and has experienced low price
volatility over the past several years. In addition to raw materials, packaging
supplies represent a meaningful portion of production cost.
3
The Company, like many of its competitors, uses fibers such as chrysotile
asbestos in its production process. Management believes that its use of
chrysotile asbestos is in accordance with regulations of the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration ("OSHA"). OSHA requires that chrysotile asbestos
fibers not be exposed to an open-air environment. In the Company's production
process, the cellulose or chrysotile asbestos fiber is pumped through a negative
pressure fluffer that separates the fibers for optimal dispersion in the product
mixture. The fibers are then mixed into and fully encapsulated by the asphalt.
Once encapsulated the fibers are "locked" into the asphalt cutback and cannot be
physically separated from the product. OSHA and other regulatory bodies have
determined that encapsulation renders the chrysotile asbestos harmless. The
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") does not regulate or enforce any special
procedures for the application of chrysotile asbestos-containing roof coatings
or sealants.
Management believes that chrysotile asbestos-fibered roofing cements have
better application quality and durability as compared to those containing
chrysotile asbestos substitutes. The primary industries that currently continue
to use chrysotile asbestos are those manufacturing chrysotile asbestos-cement
pipe and shingles, automobile brake pads, gaskets and roof coatings and
sealants. Although chrysotile asbestos-cement pipe and shingles are no longer
manufactured in the United States, these products are still currently sold in
various parts of the country. Domestic manufacturers of brake pads, gaskets and
roof coatings used roughly 22,000 tons of chrysotile asbestos in 1996 because of
its strength, durability and heat resistance. Although some roofing products
manufacturers have switched to an exclusively non-asbestos line, some of the
leading firms in the industry continue to use asbestos in at least some of their
products.
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Due to the many products manufactured by the Henry Coatings Division, the
Company markets its products by focusing on four business segments. These
segments are: Retail; Industrial, Commercial and Institutional ("ICI");
Specialty Products; and International.
The Retail segment is focused on selling products to national home center
chains, retail building material suppliers, hardware distributors, paint and
sundry distributors, farm and hardware cooperatives, and mass merchandisers. To
reach customers, the Company employs a trained sales organization and has an
in-house Creative Services Department which produces customized brochures and
promotional materials and coordinates national and regional advertising
programs.
The ICI products are used by contractors throughout North America and sold
through both national and regional roofing distributors. Henry maintains a
technical selling staff engaged in both sales and training to help ensure that
the Company's products are applied properly.
The Specialty Products segment markets a broad array of products using a
technical sales force trained to help customers in the use of the various
products. The two leading products in the Specialty Products segment are wax
emulsions and asphalt emulsions. Wax emulsions are sold to the gypsum wallboard
industry while major roofing companies are the primary market for asphalt
emulsions for use as a sizing agent in insulation board.
The International segment is engaged in the sale of all Henry products to
the international market with special focus on the Company's basic product line
of roof coatings and cements and industrial emulsions.
ROOFING SYSTEMS
Henry Company has developed a roofing systems segment for one-stop
commercial roofing or re-roofing or roofing maintenance with warranty
protection. The Company's personnel work with architects, building owners and
contractors to develop custom specifications utilizing Henry products for the
design, construction and maintenance of commercial roofs. An important component
of the Company's roof systems program's success is that building owners are
assured that Henry Company will stand behind the
4
roof from beginning to end. A Henry Company sales consultant will write a custom
specification for the roof and the roofing system will be applied by a Henry
Company-approved contractor generally using Henry Company products. A Henry
Company technical inspector will inspect the roof application during
installation and regular follow-up inspections and in some instances maintenance
will be performed throughout the life of the warranty. Henry Company offers
20-year warranties on its reroofing systems and 5-year warranties on its
maintenance systems calculated on a fee per square-foot basis. Since its
inception, expenses for warranty claims experience has been very low. In part,
this is due to Henry Company's continuing inspection program. Management
believes that the roofing systems business represents a significant growth
opportunity.
RESIN TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
The Resin Technology Company ("RTC"), founded as an independent company in
1982 and now a division of the Company, produces polyurethane foam products for
roofing and other industrial applications. RTC also sells coating products
manufactured for it by third parties for application on foam. The acquisition of
RTC in 1988 has enabled the Company to offer a broader range of roofing products
to meet the needs of the commercial and residential roofing markets.
PRODUCTS
RTC's primary product categories are polyurethane foam and coatings.
Polyurethane foam has two liquid components, resin and hardener, which are mixed
together in a spray unit during application. A chemical reaction causes the
liquid to expand many times in thickness creating a rigid layer of closed-cell
foam. In roofing applications, this foam is strong enough to be walked on
minutes after the application. The result is a seamless barrier against water
penetration that is durable and easy to maintain. In roofing applications, an
elastomeric coating must be applied as protection against the sun's ultraviolet
radiation. RTC sells acrylic, urethane, silicone and polyurea coatings.
RTC's products offer users several advantages, including a seamless barrier
that minimizes the likelihood of leaks and provides superior insulation
characteristics that can reduce energy costs. It is relatively light in weight
and is therefore particularly adaptable to large arenas or other structures that
may benefit from a lighter weight roof. Furthermore, it can be applied directly
over an existing roof, potentially avoiding the costly "tear-offs" that may be
required with other roofing systems.
RTC's products are also used in a number of original equipment manufacturer
applications. The insulation and weight characteristics of polyurethane foam
make it an integral part of the thermal panel, spa and packaging industries,
among others.
MANUFACTURING
RTC manufactures all of its polyurethane foam products in its Ontario,
California manufacturing facility. Its polyurethane resin system is made up of
two components: a hardening agent that is purchased by the Company and resin
that is manufactured in the Ontario facility. Raw materials are automatically
pumped from one or more of the 11 raw material storage tanks within the
facility, blended and then poured into 55-gallon drums, tote capsules or bulk
tanker trucks. The production process is highly automated. The bulk of RTC's
coatings products for polyurethane foam applications are produced by a
third-party manufacturer also located in Ontario. The Company believes that it
derives its success in the polyurethane foam market from its superior
understanding of technology and the Company has secured a number of original
equipment manufacturer accounts because of its ability to produce products for a
customer's very specific technical requirements.
5
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Resin Technology Company sells primarily to roofing contractors and
original equipment manufacturers in the western United States. RTC's roofing
products are sold directly to pre-qualified contractors experienced in applying
and spraying polyurethane foam onto roofs. Sales to original equipment
manufacturers include those to spa equipment manufacturers, and management
believes the Company is the leading supplier to this market. RTC also supplies
manufacturers in many other industries including those producing freezer panels,
thermal food transportation equipment, boat floatation and packaging products.
RTC's remaining sales are made to several distributors, particularly in the
Northwest and upper Midwest.
RTC supports its sales efforts with a sales staff organized according to
market segment and regional location. Henry Company believes that RTC's
marketing advantages are based on a commitment to technical development and
customer support and also believes that RTC has captured a number of original
equipment manufacturer accounts from its competitors by efficiently responding
to the customer's technical requirements. In both the roofing and original
equipment manufacturer segments Henry Company provides just-in-time delivery
capability which is essential in time and labor-sensitive roofing applications.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1999, Henry Company employed approximately 630 persons,
the majority of whom were involved in production and distribution, with the
balance engaged in administration, sales and clerical work. Of these employees,
approximately 505 were employed in the United States and 125 in Canada.
Approximately 46 employees located in Huntington Park, California, 37 employees
in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, 8 employees in Rock Hill, South Carolina, 28
employees in Ville St. Pierre, Quebec and 2 employees in Mirabel, Quebec are
unionized and covered by collective bargaining agreements. These collective
bargaining agreements expire on June 30, 2000, March 31, 2000, February 3, 2001,
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company believes that its
relationship with its employees is good. The Company has not experienced a work
stoppage at any of its facilities in over 20 years.
RISK FACTORS
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE
The Company has consolidated indebtedness that is substantial in relation to
the book value of its shareholders' equity. As of December 31, 1999, Henry
Company had approximately $84.7 million of debt (the sum of long-term debt,
including current maturities of long-term debt, notes payable and capitalized
lease obligations) and approximately $0.8 million book value of shareholders'
equity.
The Company's significant borrowings have several important consequences for
the Company including but not limited to the following: (i) a substantial
portion of the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to debt
service and will not be available for other purposes; (ii) the Company's ability
to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, acquisitions
or capital expenditures may be significantly impaired and (iii) the Company's
substantial leverage may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit
its ability to withstand competitive pressures or to take advantage of business
opportunities.
The Company's ability to make cash payments to satisfy its debt obligations
will depend on its future operating performance, which will be affected by
financial, business, competitive, general economic and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Company's control. Based upon current levels of operations
and anticipated cost savings and future growth, the Company believes that its
expected cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under its
credit facility and its other sources of liquidity, will be adequate to meet its
anticipated requirements for working capital, scheduled principal and interest
6
payments, lease payments and capital expenditures. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and
Capital Resources".
ABILITY TO ACHIEVE ANTICIPATED COST SAVINGS OR REVENUE GROWTH
Any statements concerning potential cost savings and revenue growth
contained in this annual report are forward-looking statements that are based on
estimates and assumptions made by the Company's management. Although believed to
be reasonable, such statements are inherently uncertain, and results are
difficult to predict. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon such
statements. The following important factors, among others, could cause the
Company not to achieve the results contemplated herein or otherwise cause the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations to be adversely
affected in future periods: (i) loss of key customers or continued or increased
competitive pressures; (ii) changes in customer spending levels; (iii)
unanticipated costs related to the acquisition of Monsey Bakor and the
integration of the companies; (iv) absence of inclement weather; (v) loss or
retirement of key members of management; (vi) increases in interest rates or the
Company's cost of borrowing or a default under any material debt agreement;
(vii) unavailability of funds for capital expenditures or research and
development; (viii) changes in governmental, environmental or other regulations
or (ix) changes in general economic conditions. Certain of these factors are
discussed in more detail elsewhere in this annual report. Given these
uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to
update factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or
developments.
FLUCTUATION OF RAW MATERIAL COST
The Company utilizes a number of raw materials in its manufacturing
processes, some of which have historically fluctuated in price at particular
times. These price fluctuations have been based on such factors as the capacity
of the raw material supply chain, demand in the market, weather, general
economic factors and the availability of alternative raw materials. Raw
materials utilized by the Company that have historically experienced some price
fluctuation include asphalt, aluminum paste, rubber and certain diisocynates,
among others. For example, asphalt, which is a byproduct of crude oil refining,
has fluctuated in price with changes in worldwide crude oil prices and capacity
and with changes in the supply and demand in the oil, gasoline and fossil fuel
markets. Significant increases in asphalt prices or in the prices of other raw
materials, if not offset by product price increases, could have a material
adverse impact on the profit of the Company. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to pass any future cost increases through to its customers
in the form of price increases.
IMPACT OF WEATHER
Because many of the Company's products are designed to patch or fix damaged
roofs, the Company's revenues are affected by weather conditions. Sales of
roofing products have historically tended to increase in areas which have
experienced severe weather. The results of severe weather or the anticipation of
severe weather may motivate property owners to undertake required roof
maintenance or to replace an old or worn roof. The absence of inclement weather
in some or all of the Company's markets could have an adverse impact on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
PRODUCT LIABILITY AND ASBESTOS LITIGATION
The Company's business entails an inherent risk of product liability claims,
including a particular risk with respect to chrysotile asbestos-containing
products that the Company manufactures. Although some roofing products
manufacturers have switched to an exclusively non-asbestos line, some of the
leading firms in the industry continue to use chrysotile asbestos in at least
some of their products. The Company believes that its use of chrysotile asbestos
fibers, which are encapsulated by asphalt in the manufacturing
7
process, is in accordance with applicable laws. However, the Company has been
named as a defendant in suits alleging certain asbestos-related injuries.
Although the Company has not paid any amounts in judgment or settlement of any
asbestos-related claim to date, there can be no assurance that any such claim
will not in the future result in a material adverse judgment against, or
settlement by, the Company. Other than these asbestos-related claims, no
material product liability claims are currently pending against Henry Company.
However, there can be no assurance that such claims will not arise in the
future. The costs of defending the pending asbestos-related suits are currently
funded by a joint defense arrangement among the Company's insurance carriers and
the Company believes such insurance coverage is adequate. However, Henry Company
is not covered by insurance for asbestos-related claims for injuries that are
alleged to have arisen after 1985.
The Company maintains product liability insurance for non-asbestos claims in
the amount of $21,000,000. However, there can be no assurance that the product
liability coverage maintained by the Company will be adequate to cover product
liability claims or that the applicable insurer will be solvent at the time of
any required payment. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to maintain its product liability coverage on current or otherwise
acceptable terms. A product liability or asbestos-related claim that results in
a judgment or settlement in excess of the Company's insurance coverage, or a
material judgment or settlement for an asbestos-related claim for injuries
alleged to have arisen after 1985, would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's future success will depend to a significant extent on its
executive officers and other key management personnel. In addition, the success
of any acquisitions by the Company may depend, in part, on the Company's ability
to retain management personnel of the acquired companies. Although the Company
has employment agreements with several of its executive officers and key
personnel, including its President, Monsey Bakor's former Chairman of the Board
and the former President of Monsey Bakor's Canadian operations, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to retain its executive officers and key
personnel or attract additional qualified management in the future. Although the
Company is the beneficiary under key-person life insurance policies on the lives
of the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer and Monsey Bakor's former
Chairman of the Board (who has become a Vice Chairman of the Board and an
executive officer of the Company following the Acquisition), there can be no
assurance that the proceeds of these policies would be adequate to compensate
the Company for the loss of services due to the death of these individuals.
COMPETITION
The roofing products and roofing systems industries are highly competitive
in most product categories and geographic regions. Competition is largely based
on quality, service, price and distribution capabilities. The Company competes
for retail and wholesale business with both large national manufacturers and
smaller regional producers. In certain circumstances, due primarily to factors
such as freight rates and customer preference for local brands, manufacturers
with better access to certain geographic markets may have a competitive
advantage in such markets. In addition, many of the Company's competitors within
the roofing products industry have greater financial, marketing, distribution,
management and other resources than the Company, and as the industry
consolidates, the Company's competitors may further enhance these resources. The
Company also believes that excess capacity in the roofing products and roofing
systems industry, especially during slow periods for the industry, could result
in downward pricing pressure and intensified competition. Given these factors,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete
successfully against existing or new competitors, and the failure to do so would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
8
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The past and present business operations of the Company and the past and
present ownership and operation of real property by the Company are subject to
extensive and changing federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and
regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment, the
handling, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes (including solid and
hazardous wastes), the remediation of releases of toxic or hazardous materials
or otherwise relating to health, safety and protection of the environment
("Environmental Laws"). As such, the nature of the Company's operations as well
as previous operations by others at real property owned, leased or used by the
Company, expose the Company to the risk of claims under Environmental Laws, and
there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be
incurred in connection with such claims. Based on its experience to date, the
Company does not expect such claims or the costs of compliance with the scope or
enforcement of Environmental Laws to have a material impact on its earnings or
competitive position. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance
with applicable Environmental Laws. No assurance can be given, however, that the
discovery of presently unknown environmental conditions, changes in the scope or
enforcement of Environmental Laws or their interpretation, or other
unanticipated events will not give rise to expenditures or liabilities that may
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. The Company, through its acquisition of Monsey Bakor, has
been named as a potentially responsible party in litigation concerning
contamination at a former waste-oil recycling facility used by it in
Douglassville, Pennsylvania. The Company, also through its acquisition of Monsey
Bakor, is also a party to a consent decree issued by the federal Environmental
Protection Agency relating to remediation of contamination at its corporate
headquarters. It is sharing remediation costs with a former owner of the
facility that is also a party to the consent decree. Based on currently
available information, the Company believes that neither this litigation nor
this remediation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND PERMITS
The Company is subject to regulation under various federal, state and local
laws, including laws regulating its manufacturing operations and laws relating
to employee health and safety. Permits are required for operation of the
Company's business, and such permits are subject to renewal, modification and,
in certain circumstances, revocation by governmental authorities. The loss of
certain of such permits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company expects to
incur ongoing capital and operating costs and administrative expenses to
maintain compliance with its permits and with applicable laws and regulations.
The Company cannot predict the legislation or regulations that may be enacted in
the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or
interpreted. Compliance with new laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous
enforcement policies of the regulatory agencies or stricter interpretation of
existing laws, may require additional expenditures by the Company, some or all
of which may be material.

The Company also owns or leases smaller sales and administration facilities
in Costa Mesa, California, Irvington, New Jersey and Mississauga, Ontario. In
addition, the Company owns a small facility in Troy, New York that it leases to
a third party. The Company believes that its facilities are in good operating
condition and are adequate to meet anticipated future requirements.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is periodically named as a
defendant in a variety of product liability lawsuits including "slip and fall"
claims relating to pavement sealants and claims for alleged product failure. The
Company does not believe these cases will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
10
As of December 31, 1999, The Company was a party to approximately 49 state
court cases alleging certain asbestos-related injuries. There were six new cases
filed in 1999, seven in 1998, two in 1997 and four filed each in 1996 and 1995.
The Company believes that its use of chrysotile asbestos fibers, which are
encapsulated by asphalt in the manufacturing process, is in accordance with
applicable laws. Although the Company has not paid any amounts in judgment or
settlement of any asbestos-related claim to date, there can be no assurance that
any such claim will not in the future result in a material adverse judgment
against, or settlement by, the Company. The costs of these suits are currently
funded by a joint-defense arrangement among the Company's insurance carriers and
the Company believes that such insurance coverage is adequate. However, Henry
Company is not covered by insurance for asbestos-related claims for injuries
that are alleged to have arisen after 1985.
The Company does not believe, based in part on the advice of outside
counsel, that the outcome of these suits and legal proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to extensive and changing environmental laws and
regulations with which it believes it is in substantial compliance. However,
there can be no assurance that the discovery of presently unknown environmental
conditions or changes in the scope, interpretation or enforcement of
environmental laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company's Kimberton facility was formerly occupied by a pharmaceutical
manufacturer whose operations resulted in groundwater contamination identified
on the site and surrounding area. The contaminant of concern was
trichloroethylene which required various remedial activities, including the
provision of alternate water supplies to users in the surrounding area and a
groundwater treatment program. Remedial work is being completed under a consent
decree the EPA negotiated in 1990 with the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the
Company and a confidential cost sharing agreement between these two companies.
The Company's costs under the consent decree in 1997, 1998 and 1999 were
approximately $67,000, $70,000 and $73,000, respectively, and are not expected
to be significantly different during 2000 and 2001. The Company has a liability
recorded for the entire expected costs of the remedial work over the remaining
term of the consent decree and cost-sharing agreement. Costs paid under the
consent decree and cost-sharing agreement of $73,000 in 1999 reduced the
liability to $3.4 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company is currently upgrading, replacing or closing underground storage
tanks that it owns or operates to meet certain corrosion protection and
overfill/spill containment standards. The Company estimates that the capital
expenditures required to comply with various regulatory programs in 2000 will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings, cash flows or
competitive position. Such estimates, however, are based on factors and
assumptions that are subject to change, including potential modifications of
regulatory requirements, detection of unanticipated environmental conditions or
other currently unexpected circumstances.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.
11
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER
MATTERS
There is no established public trading market for the Company's common
equity.
As of December 31, 1999, there were seven (7) beneficial holders of the
Company's Common Stock and one beneficial holder of the Company's Class A Common
Stock.
At the present time, the Company intends to retain all earnings for use in
the operation and development of its business and does not expect to declare or
pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination in the
future to pay dividends will depend on the Company's earnings, financial
condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other factors deemed
relevant by the Company's Board of Directors, including any contractual or
statutory restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in

(1) For periods prior to April 22, 1998, the Company's financial statements were
prepared on a combined basis with Warner Development Company of Texas
("Warner Development") as both entities were under common control with
identical shareholder ownership interests. On April 21, 1998, Warner
Development was merged into Henry Company and the outstanding shares of
Warner Development capital stock were cancelled.
(2) Prior to April 1998, Henry Company was operated as a subchapter "S"
Corporation under the Code. As a result, Henry Company did not incur federal
and state income taxes (except with respect to certain states) and,
accordingly, the provision for income taxes only includes the applicable
state income tax. Federal and state income taxes (except with respect to
certain states) on the income of Henry Company have been incurred and paid
directly by the shareholders of Henry Company. It has been the policy of
Henry Company to make periodic distributions to the shareholders in respect
of such tax liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 1998, Henry
Company paid distributions of $1.2 million for the shareholders' 1997 tax
liabilities. On April 22, 1998, the Company converted to a "C" corporation
under the Code and will subsequently pay all future tax obligations of the
Company to the appropriate taxing authorities.
(3) As described in Note (2) above, Henry Company was operated as a Subchapter
"S" Corporation for the historical years presented through 1997. The pro
forma provision (benefit) for income taxes and pro forma net income (loss)
reflect the results as if Henry Company were operated as a "C" Corporation
for the historical periods presented.
(4) EBITDA, as defined in the indenture relating to the Company's outstanding
10% Senior Notes, represents net earning before taking into consideration
taxes on earnings, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and
non-recurring, non-cash charges, less any cash expended that funds a non-
recurring, non-cash charge. While EBITDA should not be construed as a
substitute for operating earnings, net earnings, or cash flows from
operating activities in analyzing operating performance, financial position
or cash flows, EBITDA has been included because it is commonly used by
certain investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis
of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. This data is relevant to
an understanding of the economics of the Company's
13
business as it indicates cash flow available from operations (and/or trends
in cash flow available from operations) to service debt and satisfy certain
fixed obligations. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA for the
respective years and related interim periods is as follows:

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and as such, the results of operations of Monsey Bakor since the acquisition
date have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.
(6) The Company repurchased a portion of the Senior Notes which were issued in
conjunction with the Acquisition. The gain is shown net of taxes.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's consolidated results
of operations and consolidated financial position should be read in conjunction
with the Selected Financial Data and the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements, including notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
GENERAL
The Company is a construction materials company focusing primarily on
products for roofing, sealing and paving applications. The Company develops,
manufactures and markets several separate but related product lines including
roof and driveway coatings and paving products, industrial emulsions, air
barriers, polyurethane foam for roofing and commercial uses, sealants for
construction and marine uses and specialty products. The Company has nineteen
manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout North America. The
Company's business is seasonal and is dependent on weather trends which vary by
geographic region.
The Company manages its business through two reportable segments or primary
business units with separate management teams, infrastructures, marketing
strategies and customers. The Company's reportable segments are: the Henry
Coatings Division, which develops, manufactures and markets roof and driveway
coatings and paving products, industrial emulsions, air barriers, and specialty
products; and the Resin Technology Division, which develops, manufactures and
sells polyurethane foam for roofing and commercial construction. The Company
evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on sales, gross profit
and operating income. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION, NOTE OFFERING, AND CHANGE IN TAX STATUS
On April 22, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Monsey Bakor and
its subsidiaries (the "Acquisition") which are engaged in the distribution and
manufacture of roof coatings, adhesives and membranes, and waterproofing and air
barrier systems for residential and commercial applications. The cash purchase
price was $42.8 million with an additional $3.2 million paid at closing to
certain selling shareholders of Monsey Bakor for noncompetition agreements. A
selling shareholder also purchased 22,500 of redeemable convertible preferred
stock of the Company for $0.6 million cash. The Acquisition has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.
Concurrent with the Acquisition, the Company conducted a senior note
offering (the "Offering") in the aggregate principal amount of $85.0 million.
The proceeds of the Offering were used to acquire Monsey Bakor, retire a
substantial portion of Monsey Bakor's existing bank debt, and retire the
Company's existing bank debt and subordinated shareholder debt.
Concurrent with the Acquisition and Offering, the Company's bank credit line
was replaced with a $35.0 million credit facility, $25.0 million of which is
available in accordance with a borrowing base and is to be used for working
capital, and $10.0 million of which may be used for capital expenditures.
15
Concurrent with the Acquisition and the Offering, the Company converted its
tax status from an S Corporation under Section 1361 of the Code to C Corporation
status. Subsequent to this conversion the Company will be required to pay
federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income.
Upon conversion to C status, the Company recognized a net deferred tax asset
of $0.9 million in accordance with the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
On March 26, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Grundy
Industries which is engaged in the manufacture of roof coatings products. The
cash purchase price was $2.0 million with an additional $0.6 million paid at
closing to a shareholder of Grundy Industries for a noncompetition agreement.

===== ===== ====== ===== ====== =====
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
NET SALES. The Company's net sales increased to $178.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $28.6 million, or 19.1%, from $150.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor
(the "Acquisition") represented $33.8 million of the increase and was partially
offset by a decrease of $5.2 million due primarily to the bankruptcy of an
account and the lack of rainfall in excess of annual averages, which resulted in
decreased net sales in both the professional and retail roofing business as the
need to repair leaking roofs was not as pronounced.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit increased to $53.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $8.8 million, or 19.6%, from $45.0
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor
represented $8.5 million of the increase. The remaining increase of $0.3 million
was primarily due to an improved sales mix of higher margin products.
16
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. The Company's selling, general and
administrative expense increased to $47.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1999, an increase of $12.2 million, or 34.9%, from $35.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor represented $7.6
million of the increase. The remaining increase of $4.6 million was primarily
due to incremental selling, general and administrative expenses associated with
the Company's continued expansion in both the retail roofing and the roofing
systems business, and integration expenses related to the Acquisition.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Amortization of intangibles increased to $3.6
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.5 million, or
71.4%, from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was
primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets created as a result of
the Acquisition.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased to $3.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 62.0%, from $7.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor resulted
in a $0.9 million increase in operating income which was offset by a decrease of
$5.8 million. The Monsey Bakor increase was offset by the amortization of
intangible assets created as a result of the Acquisition and increased selling,
general and administrative expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $9.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $2.6 million, or 39.4%, from $6.6
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was attributable to
interest expense incurred on the Senior Notes used to finance the Acquisition.
EXTRAORDINARY GAIN RELATED TO EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT. The Company
retired a portion of the outstanding Senior Notes which resulted in a $0.6
million gain, net of income taxes.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased to
$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $0.2 million,
or 40%, from $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease was
primarily due to the loss before income taxes of $(5.2) million partially offset
by a $0.4 million deferred tax benefit.
NET INCOME. Net loss was $(5.7) million for the year ended December 31
1999, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 618.2% from $1.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The Acquisition represented an increase of $0.2 million,
which was offset by increased amortization expense, increased interest expense
and other factors noted above.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
NET SALES. The Company's net sales increased to $150.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $82.7 million, or 122.7%, from $67.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor
(the "Acquisition") represented $84.4 million of the increase and was partially
offset by a decrease of $1.7 million due primarily to the lack of rainfall in
excess of annual averages, which resulted in decreased net sales in both the
professional and retail roofing business as the need to repair leaking roofs was
not as pronounced.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit increased to $45.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $24.0 million, or 114.3%, from
$21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The acquisition of Monsey
Bakor represented $22.4 million of the increase. The remaining increase of $1.6
million was primarily due to a decrease in certain raw material prices and an
improved sales mix of higher margin products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.3% for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from 26.0% for the year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease
was primarily due to the Company's ability to support increased levels of
revenues from the acquisition of Monsey Bakor without proportionately increasing
administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
$35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an
17
increase of $17.5 million, or 100.0%, from $17.5 million for the year ended
December 31 1997. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor represented $16.4 million of
the increase. The remaining increase of $1.1 million was primarily due to
incremental selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the
Company's continued expansion in both the retail roofing and the roofing systems
business.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Amortization of intangibles increased to $2.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $2.0 million or
2000%, from $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets created as a result of
the Acquisition.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased to $7.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $4.5 million, or 132.4%, from $3.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Operating income as a percentage
of net sales increased to 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 1998, from 5.0%
for the year ended December 31, 1997. The acquisition of Monsey Bakor
represented $5.7 million, or 126.7% of the increase in operating income. The
Monsey Bakor increase was partially offset by the amortization of intangible
assets created as a result of the Acquisition and increased selling, general and
administrative expenses mitigated by the improvements in the gross profit margin
as noted above.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $6.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $5.1 million, or 340.0%, from $1.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was attributable to
interest expense incurred on the Senior Notes used to finance the Acquisition.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes increased to
$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 primarily due to the
Acquisition and the conversion of the Company from an "S" Corporation to a "C"
Corporation, which resulted in the Company becoming a fully taxable entity in
the year ended December 31, 1998. These factors were partially offset by a $0.9
million deferred tax benefit recognized upon conversion.
NET INCOME. Net income was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31
1998, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 50.0% from $2.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The Acquisition represented an increase of $3.9 million,
which was offset by increased amortization expense, increased interest expense
and other factors noted above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's historical requirements for capital have been primarily for
working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Company's primary
sources of capital to finance such needs have been cash flow from operations and
borrowings under bank credit facilities. Concurrently with the consummation of
the Offering and the Acquisition on April 22, 1998, the Company entered into a
new bank credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which provides for $25.0
million which is available in accordance with a borrowing base and is to be used
for working capital, and $10.0 million which may be used for capital
expenditures. As of December 31, 1999, there was $0.1 million outstanding under
the revolving line of credit and no amounts outstanding on the capital
expenditure facility. The Company also maintains a credit line with a Canadian
bank. Balances outstanding under this line were $2.5 million at December 31,
1999.
CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998
The Company's net cash provided by (used in) operations was $(2.8) million
and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
The decrease from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999 of $12.8 million was
primarily attributable to the loss incurred in 1999 and an increase in trade
receivables and inventories. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
during the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 was
$(1.9) million and $50.4 million respectively. The decrease of $52.3 million
from the year ended December 31, 1998 to the year ended December 31, 1999 was
primarily due to the issuance of $85.0 million of senior notes in 1998, reduced
by
18
debt payments of $33.4 million in 1998, and the purchase of Company Senior Notes
of $2.6 million. Net cash used for business acquisitions for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $2.6 million and
$45.1 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year
ended December 31, 1998 additions for capital expenditures were $4.2 million and
$3.0 million, respectively. Scheduled principal payments on debt were $0.3
million and $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year
ended December 31, 1998, respectively.
The Company believes that available cash and cash equivalents, cash
generated from operations and available borrowings under the Credit Facility,
will be sufficient to finance working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, and scheduled principal and interest payments for the next twelve
months. There can be no assurance, however, that such resources will be
sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated working capital, capital
expenditure and acquisition financing requirements or that the Company will not
require additional financing within this time frame.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, "Software for Internal
Use", which provides guidance on accounting for the cost of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use. SOP No. 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of SOP No. 98-1 will have a material impact on
the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP No. 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-up Activities". SOP No. 98-5, which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998, provides guidance on the financial reporting
of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs of start-up
activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. As the Company has
expensed these costs historically, the adoption of this standard will not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives
and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
statement to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements," which provides the SEC's views on applying generally accepted
accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company is
presently evaluating the impact, if any, that this may have on the Company's
revenue recognition policy.
YEAR 2000 MODIFICATIONS
The Company used internal and external resources to remediate and test its
systems. Costs incurred in addressing the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue were expensed as
incurred and were not material to the Company's financial results.
The Company did not experience any significant malfunctions or errors in its
operating or business systems when the date changed from 1999 to 2000. Based on
operations since January 1, 2000, the Company does not expect any significant
impact to its ongoing business as a result of the Y2K issue. However, it is
possible that the full impact of the date change has not been fully recognized.
The Company currently is not aware of any significant Y2K or similar problems
that have arisen for its customers and suppliers.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value
of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As part of its overall risk
management strategies, the Company monitors and manages these risks by reviewing
key trends and indicators on a continuous basis.
Interest Rate Risk--From time to time, the Company temporarily invests its
excess cash in interest bearing temporary investments of high quality issuers or
with major financial institutions. Due to the short-term maturity of the
investments are outstanding and their general liquidity, these instruments are
classified as cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet and do not
represent a material interest rate risk to the Company. The Company's primary
market risk exposure for changes in interest rates relates to the Company's debt
obligations. The Company manages its exposure to changing interest rates
principally through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt.
The majority of the Company's long-term debt is comprised of $81.4 million of
Series B Senior Notes which represent fixed rate borrowings. The fair value of
the Senior Notes at December 31, 1999 was approximately $65.5 million. pThe
Company believes that near term changes in interest rates would not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial position as the Company has a
limited amount of interest rate risk sensitive financial instruments at December
31, 1999.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk--The Company conducts business principally in
North America and in U.S. and Canadian currencies. The Company's U.S. operations
denominates all sales transactions in U.S. dollars. The Company's Canadian
subsidiaries are paid in Canadian dollars for sales made in Canada. Excess
Canadian funds generally have been invested in the Canadian operation rather
than being remitted to the U.S. parent.
At December 31, 1999, the Company has no foreign currency exchange contracts
or hedging instruments.
Commodity Price Risk--The Company uses certain raw materials in its
manufacturing process that fluctuate with certain commodity prices. These raw
materials include asphalt, aluminum paste, rubber and certain dissoynates. The
Company continuously monitors key trends in the commodity prices impacting raw
materials. At December 31, 1999, the Company has no commodity risk hedges or
derivative instruments.

- - ------------------------
(1) On October 1, 1997 Henry Company granted the Warner W. Henry Living Trust
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Henry Company capital
stock, consisting of 12,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 388,000
shares of Common Stock (the "Henry Warrants"). The Henry Warrants expire on
September 30, 2012 and may be exercised in whole or in part at variable and
increasing exercise prices over the term of the Henry Warrants. The current
and maximum exercise prices of the Henry Warrants for both Class A Common
Stock and Common Stock are $12.94 and $38.82 per share, respectively. Warner
W. Henry is the trustee of the Warner W. Henry Living Trust and may be
assumed to have beneficial ownership of the Henry Warrants and shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Henry Warrants. The Henry Warrants were
issued as further consideration for certain loans made to Henry Company by
Mr. Henry.
(2) The warrants have an exercise price that exceeded the fair value of the
capital stock at the date of grant.
(3) The grant date present value of each warrant is estimated at $0.11 using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free rate
of return of 6.0%, expected warrant life of 15 years; forfeiture rate of
zero (0); volatility of 20%; no expected dividends; and no adjustments for
non-transferability.
EXECUTIVE DEFERRAL PLAN
Henry Company has adopted an Executive Deferral Plan (the "Plan") to allow
certain management personnel and highly compensated employees to defer a portion
of their annual salary and bonus to be paid at a future date chosen by them or
upon their retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.
Participants in the Plan are selected by an administrative committee (the "Plan
Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors which establishes eligibility
qualifications and manages and administers the Plan. To participate in the Plan
for any year, a participant must make an irrevocable election to defer at least
$2,000 to a maximum of 100% of his or her base salary and bonus for such year
prior to the beginning of the year for which the salary and bonus relate. For
each Plan year Henry Company may contribute to each participant's account at the
Plan Committee's discretion. Deferred amounts are credited with interest at the
September "Moody's Seasoned Corporate Bond" rate that is published prior to the
end of the Plan year preceding the Plan year for which the rate is used.
Participants are at all times fully vested in their deferred compensation
accounts except in the event of a termination of their employment, in which case
participants are vested to only a percentage of any Company contributions that
have been made, calculated according to the executive's number of years of
employment. At the time of deferral, participants may elect to receive future
short-term payouts with respect to each year's deferral, payable in a lump sum
not prior to the sixth Plan year following such deferral. Amounts payable to a
participant pursuant to the Plan are unfunded amounts to be paid from the
general assets of the Company
25
and are at all times subject to the risk of the Company's business. The Company
funds the Plan with whole life insurance policies.
PROFIT SHARING/401(k) PLAN
Henry Company's Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan, as amended and restated as of
January 1, 1995 (the "401(k) Plan") is a qualified profit sharing plan with a
401(k) feature covering salaried and hourly employees of Henry Company and its
affiliates, other than union employees, who have completed one year of service
and attained the age of 21. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may contribute up to
15% of their annual compensation to the 401(k) Plan through salary deferral up
to a maximum of $10,000. In addition, Henry Company may make annual
discretionary matching contributions not to exceed 10% of a participant's annual
compensation. Currently, participant contributions are matched at the rate of
$0.50 for each dollar up to 4% of the participants compensation. Participating
employees are 100% vested in participant contributions and become vested to a
certain percentage of any Henry Company discretionary matching contributions
according to the employee's years of service with Henry Company or its
affiliates.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
Henry Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Gordinier, Mr.
Doose and Mr. Mooney.
Mr. Gordinier's employment agreement entitles him to a base salary and a
bonus, subject to annual review by the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors, and to certain other benefits, including reimbursement of certain
club memberships. In 1999, Mr. Gordiner's base salary was $285,875 and his bonus
was $100,000. Mr. Gordinier is also entitled to a bonus if a distribution of
money or assets is made to the shareholders of the Company. If a distribution is
made because of a sale of the Company, Mr. Gordinier would receive 10% of the
sale amount in excess of $5,895,595, reduced by $200,000 and the outstanding
balance of any outstanding loans to Mr. Gordinier (the "Reduction Amount"). In
connection with Mr. Gordiner's employment, Henry Company has loaned him a total
of $175,000 which does not bear interest. As of December 31, 1999, the aggregate
amount outstanding under these loans was $175,000. If Mr.Gordinier voluntarily
terminates his employment or if the Company terminates his employment for any
reason other than "for cause" (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr.
Gordinier is entitled to a one-year severance payment equal to his then salary
and guaranteed bonus and a termination award (the "Termination Award"). The

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases its Huntington Park headquarters and certain operating
equipment from a family trust and living trust for which Warner W. Henry is the
trustee pursuant to three separate real property leases and one equipment lease.
These leases expire in 2002, 2006 and 2016. The total rent paid in 1998 and 1999
for the Huntington Park leases was approximately $424,904 each year. The Company
leases additional property at its Huntington Park headquarters from Alamo
Development Company. Frederick H. Muhs, a director of the Company, is a
shareholder of Alamo Development Company along with certain other members of his
family. The Company currently pays rent of $5,330 per month pursuant to this
lease which is subject to annual adjustments to reflect changes in the Bank of
America prime rate. The lease expires February 28, 2002 and provides for the
Company's option to purchase the property upon six months written notice. The
Company believes that the rent paid under the above leases represent
substantially fair market value and that the other terms and conditions of the
leases are commercially reasonable.

pursuant to various loan agreements and promissory notes originated at various
times since 1988 for one year terms that were subsequently extended for
successive one year terms. The loans currently bear interest at Bank of
America's prime rate, currently 8.5%, and may be prepaid without penalty. As of
December 31, 1999, an aggregate of $461,181 was outstanding on these loans. In
addition, Mr. Gordinier has received $175,000 of non-interest bearing loans in
connection with his employment. See "Management-Employment Agreements and

Henry Company performs certain administrative services for an affiliate,
Henry II Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to an administrative services
agreement that provides for payments from Henry II Inc. to Henry Company. These
payments totaled $0.8 million in 1999. Henry II Company's shareholders are
Warner W. Henry, Carol Henry, and certain trusts for the benefit of their
children.
At December 31, 1997, Henry Company received a note from Henry II Company
for $1.9 million representing the purchase price for its interest in certain
real property. Such real property related solely to the business of Henry II
Inc. and had a net book value of $1.9 million. The note bears interest at the
prime rate, and is repayable in a lump sum at any time up to December 31, 2002.
The balance of such note was $1.9 million at December 31, 1999. In addition, at
December 31, 1999, Henry II Company owed $2.1 million to Henry Company,
representing past advances made on behalf of Henry II Company. The note
evidencing this debt does not bear interest and is payable upon demand.
Henry Company receives business and financial consulting services from The
Muhs Company, Inc., of which Frederick H. Muhs, a director of the Company, is
the President and controlling shareholder. Henry Company paid $36,000 for these
services in 1998 and $96,000 in 1999. See "Executive Compensation."
