PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Description of Business
Tredegar Industries, Inc. ("Tredegar") was formed under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia as a subsidiary of Ethyl Corporation ("Ethyl") on
June 1, 1988. On July 10, 1989, Ethyl distributed all of the outstanding
Tredegar common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), to the holders of
Ethyl common stock at the close of business on that day. Since July 10,
1989, Tredegar has been a publicly held operating company. Tredegar is
engaged directly or through subsidiaries in plastics, metal products, energy
and other businesses (primarily software and rational drug design research).
Tredegar's Energy segment is composed of its coal subsidiary, The Elk Horn
Coal Corporation ("Elk Horn"), and oil and gas properties located in Western
Canada. On February 4, 1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas
properties. In addition, in November 1993, Tredegar announced that it is
pursuing the sale of Elk Horn. Assuming Elk Horn can be sold on terms
agreeable to Tredegar, the sale is expected to be completed by mid-1994.
Tredegar's Energy segment has been reported as discontinued operations.
The following discussion of Tredegar's businesses should be read in
conjunction with the information contained in the "Financial Review" section
of the Annual Report referred to in Item 7 below.
Plastics
The Plastics segment is composed of the Film Products division ("Film
Products"), Tredegar Molded Products Company ("Molded Products") and
Fiberlux, Inc. ("Fiberlux"). Film Products and Molded Products manufacture
a wide range of products including specialty films, injection-molded products
and custom injection molds. Broad application for these products is found in
films for packaging, industrial, agricultural and disposable personal
products, including diapers, and in molded products for industrial,
household, personal-care, medical and electronics products. Fiberlux
produces vinyl extrusions, windows and patio doors. These products are
produced at various locations throughout the United States and are sold both
directly and through distributors. Tredegar also has films plants located in
the Netherlands and Brazil, where it produces films primarily for the
European and Latin American markets, respectively. The Plastics segment
competes in all of its markets on the basis of the quality and prices of its
products and its service.
Film Products
Film Products produces films for two major market categories:
disposables and industrial.
Disposables. Film Products is the largest U.S. supplier of embossed and
permeable films for disposable personal products. In each of the last three
years, this class of products accounted for more than 20% of the consolidated
revenues of Tredegar.
Film Products supplies embossed films to domestic and international
manufacturers for use as backsheet in such disposable products as baby
diapers, adult incontinent products, feminine hygiene pads and hospital
underpads. Film Products' primary customer for embossed films for backsheet
is The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G"), the leading disposable diaper
manufacturer. Film Products also sells embossed films to several producers
of private label products. Film Products competes with several foreign and
domestic film products manufacturers in the backsheet market.
In response to environmental concerns, Film Products has been involved
in the development of new materials to replace the existing backsheet for
disposable diapers with a more environmentally friendly material.
In 1991, Film Products' U.S. disposable diaper backsheet volume declines
due to downgauging (i.e., making thinner films) were offset by higher volume
from increased P&G market share. In 1992, Film Products' U.S. disposable
diaper backsheet volume declined significantly due to lower P&G market share.
The economic recession caused many consumers to seek lower priced private
label diapers. In 1993, P&G's U.S. diaper market share stabilized resulting
in backsheet volumes roughly equal to 1992. On an international basis, 1993
backsheet sales were slightly higher than 1992. Overall, 1993 backsheet
volumes were higher than 1992 but below 1990 and 1991 levels.
Film Products supplies permeable films to P&G for use as topsheet in
adult incontinent products, feminine hygiene products and hospital underpads.
The processes used in manufacturing these films were developed jointly by
Film Products and P&G and are covered by applicable patents held by P&G and
Tredegar. Film Products also sells significant amounts of permeable films to
international affiliates of P&G.
In 1991, permeable film volumes improved over 1990 due to higher
international sales, primarily in the Far East. In 1992, volumes improved
over 1991 due to higher sales in all geographic areas. In 1993, permeable
film volumes declined in the U.S. and Far East, partially offset by increases
in Europe and Latin America. Overall, 1993 permeable film volumes were below
1992 and level with 1991.
P&G also purchases molded plastic products from Molded Products. P&G
and Tredegar have had a successful long-term relationship based on
cooperation, product innovation and continuous process improvement. The loss
or significant reduction of business associated with P&G would have a
material adverse effect on Tredegar's business.
Industrial. Film Products produces a line of oriented films under the name
MONAX(R). These are high strength, high moisture barrier films that allow both
cost and source reduction opportunities over current packaging mediums.
During 1994, Film Products will concentrate on increasing awareness of MONAX(R)
film and the development of heat sealable versions that can be used by end-
users in food, industrial, and medical packaging markets.
Film Products also produces coextruded and monolayer permeable formed
films under the name of VisPore(R). These films are used to regulate fluid
transmission in many industrial, medical, agricultural and packaging markets.
Specific examples include rubber bale wrap, filter plies for surgical masks
and other medical applications, permeable ground cover and cook-in-bag for
rice and pasta.
Differentially embossed monolayer and coextruded films are also produced
by Film Products. Some of these films are extruded in a Class 10,000 clean
room and act as a disposable, protective coversheet for photopolymers used in
the manufacture of circuit boards. Other films, sold under the name of
ULTRAMASK(R), are used as masking films that protect polycarbonate, acrylics
and glass from damage during fabrication, shipping and handling.
In January 1994, Film Products announced its intention to sell or close
its Flemington, New Jersey, plant in order to exit the non-strategic
conventional films business (single layer, blown polyethylene film used
primarily for general purpose industrial packaging).
Raw Materials. The primary raw materials for films produced by Film Products
are low-density and linear low-density polyethylene resins, which Film
Products obtains from domestic and foreign suppliers at competitive prices.
Tredegar's management believes that there will be an adequate supply of
polyethylene resins in the immediate future. Changes in resin prices, and
the timing thereof, could have a significant impact on the profitability of
this division.
Research and Development. Film Products has a technical center in Terre
Haute, Indiana. Film Products holds 35 U.S. patents and nine U.S.
trademarks. Expenditures for research and development have averaged
approximately $3.3 million per year during the past three years.
Molded Products
Molded Products manufactures five major categories of products:
packaging products, industrial products, parts for medical products, parts
for electronics products and injection-mold tools. Packaging products
represent more than half of Molded Products' business.
Packaging Products. The packaging group produces deodorant canisters, lip
balm sticks, custom jars, plugs, fitments and closures, primarily for
toiletries, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and personal hygiene markets. Molded
Products is the leading U.S. producer of lip balm sticks. Molded Products
competes with various large producers in the packaging market.
Industrial Products. Molded Products produces molded plastic parts for
business machines, media storage products, cameras, appliances and various
custom products. In the business machine area, closer tolerances, made
possible by computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and modern
resins, have led to expanded high-performance applications. Molded Products
works closely with customers in the design of new industrial products and
systems. The market for such products is very competitive.
Parts for Medical and Electronics Products. Effective July 31, 1993, Molded
Product's subsidiary, Polestar Plastics Manufacturing Company, acquired the
assets of a custom molder of precision parts for the medical and electronics
markets. Products supplied to the medical market include, among others,
disposable plastic parts for laparoscopic surgery instruments, staple guns,
needle protector devices and syringe housings. Products supplied to the
electronics market include, among others, connectors for computer cables and
circuit boards.
Injection-Mold Tools. Molded Products' tooling group produces injection
molds for internal use and for sale to other custom and captive molders.
Molded Products operates one of the largest independent tool shops in the
United States in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Raw Materials. Polypropylene and polyethylene resin are the primary raw
materials used by Molded Products. Molded Products also uses polystyrene
resins. Molded Products purchases these raw materials from domestic
suppliers at competitive prices. Changes in resin prices, and the timing
thereof, could have a significant impact on the profitability of this
division. Molded Products' management believes that there will be an
adequate supply of these resins in the immediate future.
Research and Development. Molded Products owns eight U.S. patents and has
spent an average of $.3 million each year for the last three years for
research and development. Molded Products maintains a technical center as
part of its St. Petersburg, Florida, complex.
Fiberlux
Fiberlux is a leading U.S. producer of rigid vinyl extrusions, windows
and patio doors. Fiberlux products are sold to fabricators and directly to
end users. The subsidiary's primary raw material, polyvinyl chloride resin,
is purchased from producers in open market purchases and under contract. No
critical shortages of polyvinyl chloride resins are expected.
Metal Products
The Metal Products segment is composed of The William L. Bonnell
Company, Inc. ("Bonnell"), Capitol Products Corporation ("Capitol") and
Brudi, Inc. ("Brudi"). Bonnell and Capitol ("Aluminum Extrusions") produce
soft alloy aluminum extrusions primarily for the building and construction
industry, and for transportation and consumer durables markets. Brudi,
acquired by Tredegar in April 1991, primarily produces steel attachments and
uprights for the forklift truck market.
Aluminum Extrusions
Aluminum Extrusions manufactures plain, anodized and painted aluminum
extrusions for sale directly to fabricators and distributors that use
aluminum extrusions in the production of curtain walls, moldings,
architectural shapes, running boards, tub and shower doors, boat windshields,
window components and furniture, among other products. Sales are made
primarily in the United States, principally east of the Rocky Mountains.
Sales are substantially affected by the strength of the building and
construction industry, which accounts for a majority of product sales.
Raw materials for Aluminum Extrusions, consisting of aluminum ingot,
aluminum scrap and various alloys, are purchased from domestic and foreign
producers in open market purchases and under short-term contracts. Profit
margins for products in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to significant
fluctuations in aluminum ingot and scrap prices, which account for more than
40 percent of product cost. Tredegar does not expect critical shortages of
aluminum or other required raw materials and supplies.
Aluminum Extrusions competes primarily based on the quality and prices
of its products and its service with a number of national and regional
manufacturers in the industry.
Brudi
Headquartered in Ridgefield, Washington, Brudi is the second largest
supplier of uprights and attachments for the forklift truck segment of the
domestic materials handling industry. Brudi markets its products and
services, which include in-house engineering and design capabilities,
primarily to dealers and original equipment manufacturers of forklift trucks.
Markets served include warehousing and distribution, food, fiber, primary
metals, pharmaceuticals, beverage and paper. Brudi products are made
primarily from steel, which is purchased on the open market and under
contract from domestic producers. Tredegar does not foresee critical
shortages of steel or other required raw materials and supplies.
During 1992, Brudi acquired the assets of a materials handling company
in Halifax, United Kingdom to serve the European market.
Energy
The Energy segment is composed of Elk Horn and oil and gas properties
located in Western Canada. On February 4, 1994, Tredegar sold its remaining
oil and gas properties. In addition, in November 1993, Tredegar announced
that it is pursuing the sale of Elk Horn. Assuming Elk Horn can be sold on
terms agreeable to Tredegar, the sale is expected to be completed by mid-
1994. Tredegar's Energy segment has been reported as discontinued
operations.
Coal
Elk Horn, an approximately 97 percent owned subsidiary, obtains income
from royalties by leasing part of its Eastern Kentucky mineral rights
(approximately 142,000 acres) for mining coal. The coal is generally
characterized as high-volatility, bituminous A-rank with low sulphur content.
Based on recent changes to the methodology used in classifying coal reserves,
Elk Horn estimates that, as of January 1, 1993, its proven and probable raw
recoverable reserves (reserves before any losses due to beneficiation)
approximate 124 million tons and 86 million tons, respectively. During the
last five years, Elk Horn's reserves have been mined at volumes ranging from
4 million to 6.2 million tons per year. Elk Horn leases its mineral rights
to coal operators, who mine the coal and pay royalties based on their sales
revenues. Elk Horn also uses independent contractors to mine coal. Elk Horn
sells coal on the open market on the basis of price and quality.
In January 1991, Elk Horn entered the coal trading business through a
new subsidiary. The Elk Horn Coal Sales Corporation facilitates the sale of
coal to customers from Elk Horn's production and from independent operators
mining non-Elk Horn reserves throughout Central Appalachia. Tredegar is
negotiating the sale of Elk Horn's coal trading business independently from
its other coal operations.
Oil and Gas
Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties on February 4, 1994
for approximately $8 million. This transaction resulted in a gain of
approximately $6.1 million ($3.9 million after income taxes), which will be
recognized in 1994.
Other Businesses
The Other segment is composed primarily of investments in high-
technology businesses and related research.
In December 1992, Tredegar acquired APPX Software, Inc. (formerly
Kennedy & Company, Inc.) ("APPX Software"), a supplier of flexible software
development environments and business applications software. Headquartered
in Richmond, Virginia, APPX Software's leading product is a proprietary
application software development tool called APPX(R). APPX enables software
designers and programmers to develop and modify business applications
software much faster than customary programming techniques. APPX can run on
a variety of computers and is designed to adapt to changing hardware
environments. The market for software products is very competitive and
characterized by short product life cycles.
During 1992, Molecumetics, Ltd., a subsidiary of Tredegar
("Molecumetics"), commenced operation of its rational drug design research
laboratory in Seattle, Washington. Molecumetics provides proprietary
chemistry for the synthesis of small molecule therapeutics and vaccines.
Using synthetic chemistry techniques, researchers can fashion small molecules
that imitate the bioactive portion of larger and more complex molecules. For
customers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, these
synthetically-produced compounds offer significant advantages over naturally
occurring proteins in fighting diseases because they are smaller and more
easily absorbed in the human body, less subject to attack by enzymes, more
specific in their therapeutic activity, and faster and less expensive to
produce.
APPX Software owns four U.S. copyrights. Molecumetics has filed a
number of patent applications with respect to its technology. Businesses
included in the Other segment spent $5.6 million in 1993 and $1.9 million in
1992 for research and development.
Miscellaneous
Patents, Licenses and Trademarks. Tredegar considers patents, licenses and
trademarks to be of significance to its Plastics segment and its APPX
Software and Molecumetics subsidiaries. Tredegar routinely applies for
patents on significant patentable developments with respect to all of its
businesses. Tredegar and its subsidiaries now own numerous patents with
remaining terms ranging from 1 to 16 years. In addition, the Plastics
segment and certain of Tredegar's other subsidiaries have licenses under
patents owned by third parties.
Research and Development. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, approximately $9.1
million, $5.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, was spent on company-
sponsored research and development activities in connection with the
businesses of Tredegar and its subsidiaries. See "Business of Tredegar -
Plastics and Other Businesses."
Backlog. Backlogs are not material to Tredegar.
Government Regulation. Laws concerning the environment that affect or could
affect Tredegar's domestic operations include, among others, the Clean Water
Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act,
the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), regulations promulgated under
these acts, and any other federal, state or local laws or regulations
governing environmental matters. The operations of Tredegar and its
subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations and permits. In order to maintain substantial compliance with
such standards, Tredegar may be required to incur expenditures, the amounts
and timing of which are not presently determinable but which could be
significant, in constructing new facilities or in modifying existing
facilities.
Municipal, state and federal governments continue to consider
restrictions on the disposal of plastic products. Several states have
enacted such restrictions. The Plastics segment is conducting research into
source reduction through improved product quality and reduced plastic product
content and into the development of degradable films at its Terre Haute,
Indiana, research and development facility. At present, Tredegar cannot
determine the likely impact of proposed restrictions on the Plastics segment.
From time to time the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") may
identify Tredegar or one of its subsidiaries as a potentially responsible
party with respect to a Superfund site under CERCLA. To date, Tredegar,
indirectly, is potentially responsible with respect to four Superfund sites.
As a result, Tredegar may be required to expend amounts on remedial
investigations and actions at such Superfund sites. Responsible parties
under CERCLA may be jointly and severally liable for costs at a site,
although typically costs are allocated among the responsible parties.
In addition, Tredegar, indirectly, is potentially responsible for one
New Jersey Spill Site Act location. Another New Jersey site is being
investigated pursuant to the New Jersey Environmental Cleanup Responsibility
Act.
Capital expenditures for pollution abatement and OSHA projects were
about $.4 million, $.8 million and $3.6 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. In 1991, approximately $2.3 million in capital expenditures
was related to the finishing operations in Aluminum Extrusions. Future
capital expenditures for pollution abatement and OSHA projects are expected
to approximate 1993 and 1992 levels.
Employees. Tredegar and its subsidiaries employ approximately 3,500 people.
Tredegar considers its relations with its employees to be good.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
General
Most of the improved real property and the other assets of Tredegar and
its subsidiaries are owned, and none of the owned property is subject to an
encumbrance material to the consolidated operations of Tredegar and its
subsidiaries. Tredegar considers the condition of the plants, warehouses and
other properties and assets owned or leased by Tredegar and its subsidiaries
to be generally good. Additionally, Tredegar considers the geographical
distribution of its plants to be well-suited to satisfying the needs of its
customers.
Tredegar believes that the capacity of its plants to be adequate for
immediate needs of its businesses. Tredegar's plants generally have operated
at 70-85 percent of capacity. Tredegar's corporate headquarters offices are

the share transfer books of the Corporation. Meetings may be held without
notice if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting are present
in person or by proxy or if notice is waived in writing by those not
present, either before or after the meeting.
Section 5. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by the Articles of
Incorporation, any number of shareholders together holding at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote with
respect to the business to be transacted, who shall be present in person or
represented by proxy at any meeting duly called, shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business. If less than a quorum shall be in
attendance at the time for which a meeting shall have been called, the
meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the
shareholders present or represented by proxy without notice other than by
announcement at the meeting.
Section 6. Voting. At any meeting of the shareholders each
shareholder of a class entitled to vote on the matters coming before the

not more than seventy (70) days prior to the meeting. Every proxy shall be
in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder entitled to vote or his
duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
Section 7. Voting List. The officer or agent having charge of the
stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten
(10) days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof,
with the address of and the number of shares held by each. Such list, for
a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at
the registered office of the Corporation or at its principal place of
business or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar and shall be
subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business
hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and
place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any
shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock
transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders
entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting
of shareholders. If the requirements of this section have not been
substantially complied with, the meeting shall, on the demand of any
shareholder in person or by proxy, be adjourned until the requirements are

annual meeting of shareholders, business must be (i) specified in the
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii)
otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. In
addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must
have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be given, either by
personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
Secretary of the Corporation not later than ninety (90) days in advance of
the annual meeting. A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set

meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the annual meeting (including the specific proposal to be presented)
and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii)
the name and record address of the shareholder proposing such business,
(iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are
beneficially owned by the shareholder, and (iv) any material interest of
the shareholder in such business.
In the event that a shareholder attempts to bring business before an
annual meeting without complying with the provisions of this Section 8, the
Chairman of the meeting shall declare to the meeting that the business was
not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the foregoing
procedures, and such business shall not be transacted.
No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8, provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to preclude
discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the
annual meeting.
Section 9. Inspectors. An appropriate number of inspectors for any
meeting of shareholders may be appointed by the Chairman of such meeting.
Inspectors so appointed will open and close the polls, will receive and
take charge of proxies and ballots, and will decide all questions as to the
qualifications of voters, validity of proxies and ballots, and the number
of votes properly cast.

ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
6.01. No Right To Employment
The Plan does not in any way limit the right of the
Company or an Affiliate at any time and for any reason to
terminate the Participant's employment or such Participant's
status as an Eligible Employee. In no event shall the Plan,
by its terms or by implication, constitute an employment
contract of any nature whatsoever between the Company or an

or whose employment with the Company and its Affiliates is
terminated either with or without cause, for reasons other

shall immediately cease to be a Participant under this Plan
and shall forfeit all rights under this Plan. Further, in
no event shall an individual who was a Participant but who
is not a Participant at the time of such individual's death,
Retirement or Total and Permanent Disability, be entitled
to any benefit under the Plan. A Participant on authorized
leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliate shall not
be deemed to have terminated employment or lost his status
as an Eligible Employee for the duration of such leave of
absence.
6.03. Change In Control
Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, in the
event the employment of a Participant who is in the employ
of the Company or an Affiliate on a Control Change Date is

whether or not he is a Participant at the time of his
termination, he shall be fully vested in a benefit payable
under Article III and IV, as applicable, as of the date his
employment is terminated. A Participant who following a

increases, bonuses, and incentive awards comparable to the
increases, bonuses and awards that he received in prior years
or that other executives in comparable positions receive in
the current year; or (ii) his compensation or employment-
related benefits are reduced; or (iii) his status, title(s),
offices, places of employment, working conditions, or
management responsibilities are diminished (other than
changes in reporting or management responsibilities to
reflect sound practices commonly followed by enterprises
comparable to the Company employing Participant or required
by applicable federal or state law) or within sixty days
after the last in a series of such events will be deemed to
have terminated under circumstances requiring full vesting
under this Section 6.03.
6.04. Reemployment
A Participant who ceases to be an employee of the
Company and who is subsequently reemployed by the Company
shall not accrue any additional benefits on account of such
later service for periods in which he is not a Participant.

are subject to the condition that neither its Board of
Directors nor the Committee shall take any action to

individual's designation as a Participant after a Control
Change Date or after the Participant's death, Retirement or
Total and Permanent Disability.
7.04. Effect Of Termination
Except as provided in Sections 6.03, 7.01 and 7.03,
upon the termination of this Plan by the Board of Directors,
the Plan shall no longer be of any further force or effect,
and neither the Company nor any Participant shall have any
further obligation or right under this Plan. Subject to the
limitations in Sections 6.03, 7.01 and 7.03, the rights of
any individual who was a Participant and whose designation

Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other
benefits available to such Participant under any other plan
or program of the Company for its employees, and, except as
may otherwise be expressly provided for, the Plan shall
supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other
plan or program of the Company in which a Participant is
participating.

to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be
void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be
liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities,
or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. If any
Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan should become
bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber or charge any right to a benefit hereunder,
then such right or benefit, in the discretion of the

ARTICLE XI ADOPTION OF PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The Savings Plan Benefit Restoration Plan for Employees of Tredegar
Industries, Inc. was adopted effective October 1, 1993. The purpose of the
Plan is to supplement the benefits payable to certain employees under the
Savings Plan for the Employees of Tredegar Industries, Inc. by restoring
benefits that would be available to such employees but for the application of
certain Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company has determined that
the adoption of the Benefit Restoration Plan will assist it in attracting and
retaining those employees whose abilities and experience will contribute to
its continued success.
The Company intends for the Benefit Restoration Plan to be an individual
account plan within the meaning of section 3(34) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company further intends for the
Plan to be funded through a trust to which Company contributions are deductible.
All questions arising in the construction and administration of the Plan must
be resolved in a manner that is consistent with that intent.

more than fifty Employees as such officers. For purposes of this section,
Earnings will be determined without regard to Code sections 125, 402(e)(3),
402(h)(1)(B), and in the case of employer contributions made pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement, without regard to Code section 403(b). The deter-
minations made under this section must be made in conformity with the rules
in Code section 414(q) and the related Treasury regulations. According to Code
section 414(q)(6)(A)(ii), any Earnings paid to a Family Member (and any
applicable contribution or benefits on behalf of such individual) must be
treated as if it were paid to (or on behalf of) the relevant Highly Compensated

as soon as practicable after the date of entry of the order regardless of
whether the Member has terminated employment as of that date. If the Member
dies before that date, the Alternate Payee is entitled to benefits only if the
order requires survivor benefits to be paid. In the case of such order, the
amount to be paid to the Alternate Payee is computed using the benefit that
would be payable to the Member if he had terminated employment immediately prior
to the date such payment is to be made. The payment of benefits with respect
to a Member who has not yet terminated employment is not considered to violate
the prohibition against providing increased benefits.

to the debts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Members.
(b) Despite any other Plan provisions to the contrary, the Administrator
must comply with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Plan
is not liable for any payments pursuant to a domestic relations order until
the Administrator has received the order and determined that it is a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order. The Administrator must establish reasonable written
procedures for determining the qualified status of a domestic relations order
and for administering distributions under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
The Administrator must promptly notify the Member and each Alternate Payee of
the receipt of a domestic relations order and of the procedures for determining
its qualified status.
10.05. Headings and Subheadings
The headings and subheadings in this Plan have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the
provisions hereof.
10.06. Use of Masculine and Feminine; Singular and Plural
In the construction of the Plan the masculine shall include the feminine
and the singular the plural in all cases where such meanings are indicated by
the context.
10.07. Unclaimed Benefits
If the Administrator, or the Trustee with the assistance of the
Administrator, cannot make payment of any amount to a Member or Beneficiary
within five (5) years after such amount becomes payable because the identity
or whereabouts of such individual cannot be ascertained, the Administrator,
at the end of such five (5) year period, will direct that the amounts which
would have been payable to such Member or Beneficiary be segregated by the Trus-
tee and thereafter dealt with according to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia relating to abandoned intangible personal property held in a fiduciary
capacity.
10.08. Beneficiary Designation
At the time of enrollment in the Plan, each Member, with the consent of
his spouse pursuant to Plan section 1.04, if applicable, must designate a
Beneficiary to receive settlement of his Plan account in the event of his death
during employment. A Member, with the consent of his spouse pursuant to Plan
section 1.04, if applicable, may, from time to time, change a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries under the Plan. In the event that no designated Beneficiary is
surviving at the time of the Member's death, settlement under the Plan will
be made as provided in Plan section 1.04.
10.09. Errors and Omissions
It shall be the responsibility of those individuals and entities charged
with the administration of the Plan to see that it is administered in accordance
with its terms so long as it is not in conflict with ERISA. In the event an
innocent error or omission is discovered in the operation or administration
of the Plan, which in the judgment of the Committee would cost more to correct
than is warranted by the error or omission and which in such Committee's
judgment did not result in discrimination in operation, in favor of the
prohibited group of officers, shareholders, and highly compensated employees,
then, to the extent such adjustment will not in such Committee's judgment result
in such prohibited group, the Committee deems necessary or desirable to correct
the error or omission, including but not limited to the authorization of
additional Company contributions designed, in a manner consistent with the
goodwill intended to be engendered by the Plan, to put Members in the same rela-
tive position they would have been in but for such error or omission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Net income for 1993 declined 38% to $9.5 million, or $.88 per share, compared
with $15.3 million, or $1.41 per share, in 1992. As described in Note (b) to
Notes to Financial Tables on page 26, results for 1993 and 1992 include several
special items that affect the comparability of operating results between years.
Excluding these items, net income for 1993 declined 35% to $10.3 million, or
$.95 per share, compared with $15.8 million, or $1.46 per share, in 1992. The
lower operating results are due primarily to losses from new business
development activities included in the Other segment (primarily investments in
high-technology businesses, including APPX Software, Inc., Molecumetics, Ltd.
and Emisphere Technologies, Inc.), and lower volume and higher operating costs
related to unused capacity in Film Products and Molded Products, partially
offset by improved results in the Metal Products segment. Ongoing operations
from the Other segment contributed net losses of $6.6 million ($.60 per share)
and $1.4 million ($.12 per share) in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Net income for 1992 increased to $15.3 million, or $1.41 per share, compared
with $5.6 million, or $.52 per share, in 1991. Excluding special items (see Note
(b) to Notes to Financial Tables on page 26), net income for 1992 increased by
$9.7 million to $15.8 million, or $1.46 per share, compared with $6.1 million,
or $.56 per share in 1991. The improvement in operating results in 1992 was led
by turnarounds in Aluminum Extrusions and Molded Products.
In July 1993, Film Products announced the closing of its Fremont, California,
plant and the consolidation of capacity at its new plant in Tacoma, Washington.
The Fremont plant is expected to close by May 1994. No provision for the
shutdown was recorded in 1993 since the estimated net realizable value of the
facility exceeds the total of its carrying value and expected shutdown and
disposal costs. In January 1994, Film Products announced its intention to sell
or close its Flemington, New Jersey, plant in order to exit the non-strategic,
conventional films business (single layer, blown polyethylene film used
primarily for general purpose industrial packaging). A pretax loss of $1.8
million was accrued at the end of 1993 to cover the expected loss on the
disposal of this facility.
During the third quarter of 1993, Molded Products acquired the assets of
Polestar Plastics, Inc., thereby gaining access to growing medical and
electronics markets for its products.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, Tredegar recorded a provision of $.9 million for
the decentralization and downsizing of certain corporate functions.
In November 1993, Tredegar announced that it is pursuing the sale of its coal
subsidiary, The Elk Horn Coal Corporation ("Elk Horn"). Assuming Elk Horn can be
sold on terms agreeable to Tredegar, the sale is expected to be completed by
mid-1994, and a gain is expected to be recognized. In addition, in February
1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties for approximately $8
million. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $6.1 million ($3.9
million after taxes), which will be recognized in 1994. As a result of the
potential sale of Elk Horn and the sale of Tredegar's remaining oil and gas
properties, the Energy segment is reported as discontinued operations.
Accordingly, information about results of operations, financial condition, cash
flows and industry segments has been reclassified where appropriate. Combined
financial statements for the Energy segment are presented in Note 2 of Notes to
Financial Statements on page 33.
Results from continuing operations are not indicative of future performance
because they exclude income that would be generated from reinvestment of
divestiture proceeds. Tredegar expects to use these proceeds to repay
outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, with remaining
proceeds invested until other opportunities, in existing businesses or
elsewhere, are identified.
1993 Compared with 1992
Revenues
Net sales from continuing operations increased 1% in 1993,
compared with 1992. Metal Products sales improved significantly due primarily
to higher volume in Aluminum Extrusions. Plastics revenues declined,
particularly in Molded Products. For more information, see Net Sales by Industry
Segment on page 19.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Tredegar's gross profit margin for continuing operations decreased to 15.6% in
1993 from 16.8% in 1992 due to lower volume and higher costs related to unused
capacity in Film Products and Molded Products, and the inclusion of APPX
Software in 1993 results. The unfavorable effect of these items on gross margin
was partially offset by the impact of higher volumes and manufacturing
efficiencies, including lower scrap rates and customer returns, in
Aluminum Extrusions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for continuing operations decreased
slightly in 1993 due to cost-reduction efforts, partially offset by the
inclusion in 1993 of APPX Software.
Research and development expenses increased to $9.1 million in 1993 from $5
million in 1992 due to higher spending at Molecumetics (Tredegar's research
subsidiary involved in the synthesis of peptide mimetics used in rational drug
design); software development costs at APPX Software; and ongoing product
development efforts in Film Products.
Unusual items in 1993 of $.5 million include estimated costs related to the
closing of the Film Products plant in Flemington, New Jersey ($1.8 million),
and the reorganization of corporate functions ($.9 million), partially offset
by a gain on the sale of Tredegar's remaining investment in Emisphere ($2.3
million).
Interest Expense
Interest expense has been allocated between continuing operations and
discontinued operations based on relative capital employed (see Note 2 of
Notes to Financial Statements on page 33). Interest expense for continuing
operations declined 10% in 1993 due to lower interest rates and lower average
consolidated debt outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on
consolidated debt outstanding was 5.6% for the year, compared with 6.1% in
1992. Average consolidated debt outstanding during these periods totaled $95.8
million and $101.3 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for continuing operations in 1993 was 46%, compared with
40% in 1992. The increase was primarily due to an adjustment of deferred income
taxes for the 1% increase in the federal income tax rate in 1993, a higher
effective state income tax rate, and an increase in non-deductible goodwill
amortization, partially offset by the research and development tax credit. See
Note 16 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 38 for details on effective
tax rates.
Discontinued Operations
Energy segment net sales increased 2% to $33.4 million in 1993 from $32.9
million in 1992. The increase was driven by higher coal trading and gas
revenues, partially offset by lower coal royalties and slightly lower coal
sales volume.
Operating profit increased 8% to $11 million from $10.2 million due primarily to
gains totaling $1.4 million on the sale of certain oil and gas properties,
partially offset by a $.4 million charge for Elk Horn's required annual
contribution to fund medical and death benefits for assigned miners and
dependents under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992
(see Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 33) .
Interest expense allocated to the Energy segment was approximately $.7 million
in 1993 and 1992 as a result of higher average capital employed, offset by
lower interest rates. The effective tax rate declined to 34.7% in 1993 from
39.6% in 1992 due to relatively higher percentage depletion.
Extraordinary Item
On June 16, 1993, Tredegar paid a prepayment premium to an institutional lender
in the amount of $1.8 million ($1.1 million after taxes) to refinance its $35
million, 8.6% fixed-rate debt that was due in September 1994. The new note
carries a fixed rate of 7.2% and matures in June 2003. Annual principal
payments of $5 million will begin in 1997.
Accounting Changes
Tredegar provides postretirement life insurance and health care benefits for
certain groups of employees. Tredegar and retirees share in the cost of
postretirement health care benefits, with employees retiring after July 1,
1993, receiving a fixed subsidy from Tredegar to cover a portion of their
health care premiums. Effective January 1, 1993, Tredegar adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 106 requires recognition
of the cost of postretirement benefits during the employees' service periods.
Previously, such expenses were accounted for on a cash basis. Tredegar elected
to immediately recognize the liability for prior years' service as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Accordingly, in the first
quarter of 1993, Tredegar recorded an unfunded, accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation of $6.7 million and a noncurrent, deferred income tax
benefit of $2.5 million, resulting in an after-tax charge of $4.2 million.
Effective January 1, 1993, Tredegar adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires the asset and liability
method of accounting for deferred income taxes, whereby enacted statutory tax
rates are applied to the differences between the financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle was a reduction in deferred income taxes and a
corresponding increase in net income of $4.3 million in the first
quarter of 1993.
1992 Compared With 1991
Revenues
Net sales from continuing operations in 1992 increased 1% over 1991. Sales
increases in Metal Products were partially offset by sales declines in
Plastics. Metal Products benefited from higher sales in Aluminum Extrusions
and the inclusion of a full year of Brudi, Inc., sales in 1992
(Brudi was acquired in April 1991). The sales decline in Plastics was primarily
due to the divestiture, in the fourth quarter of 1991, of Molded Products'
beverage closure business. See Net Sales by Industry Segment on page 19 for
more information.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Tredegar's gross profit margin from continuing operations increased to 16.8% in
1992 from 15% in 1991 due to higher profits in Aluminum Extrusions and Molded
Products, partially offset by lower profits in Film Products. Aluminum
Extrusions' profits improved due to lower unit conversion costs, reflecting
higher sales and production volumes and internal improvements. The increase in
Molded Products' profits resulted primarily from restructuring efforts. The
decline in Film Products' profits was due to higher domestic unit conversion
costs, reflecting lower sales and production volume, partially offset by higher
profits from foreign operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for continuing operations decreased
3% in 1992 due to divestitures, restructuring-related cost reductions and a
continued focus on internal improvements.
Research and development expense increased to $5 million in 1992 from $4.5
million in 1991 due to product development projects in the Plastics segment and
research and development of certain new technologies.
Unusual items in 1992 include the accelerated write-off of certain goodwill
associated with the restructuring of Molded Products ($1.2 million),
partially offset by the gain on the sale of a portion of Tredegar's investment
in Emisphere ($1.1 million).
Interest Expense
Interest expense allocated to continuing operations declined 25%, or $1.9
million, in 1992 due to lower average interest rates and lower
average debt levels. Weighted average interest rates on consolidated debt
outstanding during 1992 and 1991 were 6.1% and 7.2%, respectively. Average
consolidated debt outstanding during these periods totaled $101.3 million and
$117.7 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for continuing operations in 1992 was 40%, compared with
37% in 1991. The increase was primarily due to lower tax benefits attributable
to the foreign sales corporation partially offset by a lower effective state
income tax rate. See Note 16 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 38 for
details regarding effective tax rates.
Discontinued Operations
Energy segment net sales declined 4%, to $32.9 million in 1992 from $34.3
million in 1991, due primarily to lower coal volume and lower oil and gas
revenues resulting from the termination of the horizontal drilling partnership
in 1991. Lower coal volume was partially offset by improved royalty rates,
improved prices in the coal sales business and higher minimum royalty
income. Mild weather and industry over-capacity relative to demand contributed
to coal volume declines.
Operating profit increased by $4.6 million or 81%, to $10.2 million from $5.6
million, due primarily to the termination in 1991 of the horizontal drilling
partnership and the elimination of related operating losses as well as improved
coal trading income.
Interest expense allocated to the Energy segment declined to $.7 million in 1992
from $.8 million in 1991 due to lower average interest rates, partially offset
by higher average capital employed.
The effective tax rate in 1992 increased to 39.6% from 36.4% in 1991 due
primarily to lower percentage depletion.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets
Total assets at December 31, 1993, were $353.4 million, a decrease of $1.5
million from December 31, 1992. Net assets of discontinued operations increased
to $31 million from $29.8 million in 1992 due to higher coal trading
inventories. Total assets of continuing operations decreased $2.7 million.
The current ratio remained strong at 2.1 to 1 and 2.0 to 1 as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
Liabilities
Total liabilities decreased 4% to $184.3 million at December 31, 1993, due
primarily to lower deferred income taxes caused by the adoption of SFAS No. 109
and reductions in consolidated long-term debt and accrued costs related to
divestitures, partially offset by an increase in other noncurrent liabilities
due to the adoption of SFAS No. 106 and the acquisition of Polestar.
Consolidated debt decreased to $97 million in 1993 from $101.5 million in 1992.
Consolidated debt at December 31, 1993, consisted of $35 million maturing in
2003 with annual principal payments of $5 million beginning in 1997 and a fixed
annual interest rate of 7.2%, and $62 million borrowed under variable-rate
agreements with various maturities and an average interest rate of 4.2%. The
weighted average interest rate on debt as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 was
5.3% and 6.1%, respectively. This overall decline is due to lower rates on both
fixed-rate and variable-rate credit arrangements. Debt as a percentage of total
capitalization was 36% at December 31, 1993, compared with 38% at December 31,
1992. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements on page 35 for details
of credit agreements.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity increased to $169.1 million at December 31, 1993,
reflecting consolidated net income of $9.5 million and dividends declared of
$2.6 million. The total market capitalization of Tredegar's 10.9 million common
shares decreased to $163.4 million at December 31, 1993, from $168.9 million at
December 31, 1992, due to a lower stock price at year end.
Tredegar has not purchased shares of its capital stock since 1990. In 1989 and
1990, Tredegar purchased an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of its capital stock
in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions at an average price
of $12.76 per share. Tredegar may make stock purchases, up to an aggregate of
3.2 million shares, under a standing authorization from the Board of Directors
at prices management deems appropriate.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities decreased to $17.6 million
in 1993 from $30.9 million in 1992 due to lower operating results and
additional working capital investment to support higher sales at the end of
the year. Net cash used in 1993 for the prepayment premium on extinguishment of
debt was $1.1 million. Net cash provided by discontinued operating activities
increased to $4.3 million in 1993 from $.5 million in 1992 due to lower
incremental working capital investment in the coal trading business.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations
declined to $14.2 million in 1993 from $29.8 million in 1992 as a result of
lower capital expenditures and lower spending for acquisitions. Proceeds from
asset disposals totaled $8.6 million in 1993 and $9.2 million in 1992. Lower
capital expenditures for continuing operations in 1993 were primarily due to
unused capacity in Film Products and Molded Products as a result of unfavorable
market conditions and higher spending for capacity expansions in Film Products
from 1989 through 1992. Net cash was provided by investing activities of
discontinued operations in 1993 due to the sale for $1.7 million of certain oil
and gas properties, partially offset by capital expenditures.
In 1993, overall net cash provided by consolidated operating activities
exceeded net cash used in consolidated investing activities by $7.9 million,
which was sufficient to pay dividends of $3.3 million and to repay $4.5 million
of debt.
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities declined to $30.9 million
in 1992 from $34.9 million in 1991 due primarily to divestiture-related working
capital liquidations in 1991. Net cash provided by discontinued operating
activities declined to $.5 million in 1992 from $6.6 million in 1991 due to
additional investment in coal working capital in 1992 to support expansion of
the coal trading business.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations declined to $29.8
million in 1992 from $35.7 million in 1991 due to lower spending on
acquisitions. In 1991, the net cash used in investing activities of discontinued
operations totaling $5 million was primarily due to the purchase of coal
reserves. During 1992, capital expenditures returned to a normal level for
supporting existing Energy segment operations.
In 1992, overall net cash provided by consolidated operating activities
exceeded capital expenditures and dividends by $7.8 million. This excess cash
flow, combined with proceeds from asset disposals, net borrowings and cash
available from 1991, funded acquisitions and other investments of $17.6
million.
In 1991, overall cash flows from operations were $41.5 million, up from $34.6
million in 1990. Cash flows from operations in 1991 exceeded capital
expenditures and dividends by $12.3 million, permitting Tredegar to pay down
debt incurred to finance the Brudi acquisition. Proceeds from the sale of
businesses and other property disposals allowed Tredegar to liquidate all
additional debt incurred in 1991, and end the year with $100 million
in long-term debt.
Normal operating cash requirements over the next 3-5 years are expected to be
met from continuing operations. Tredegar expects that proceeds from the
possible sale of its energy businesses will be used to repay outstanding
borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, with remaining proceeds
invested until other opportunities, in existing businesses or elsewhere, are
identified. The amount and timing of any additions to capital will depend on
Tredegar's specific cash requirements and the cost of such capital.
Net Sales by Industry Segment
1993 Compared With 1992
Plastics net sales decreased 7% in 1993 due to lower sales in Film Products and
significantly lower revenues in Molded Products. Film Products 1993 sales were
down due primarily to lower volume in industrial films, domestic disposable
permeable films, domestic disposable backsheet film supplied to private-label
manufacturers, and the discontinuance of certain unprofitable agricultural
product lines, partially offset by higher sales volume from foreign operations
and domestic disposable backsheet film supplied to The Procter & Gamble Company
("P&G").
Film Products is the largest U.S. supplier of embossed and permeable films for
disposable personal products. In each of the last three years, this class of
products accounted for more than 20% of the consolidated revenues of Tredegar.
Film Products supplies embossed films for use as backsheet in such disposable
products as baby diapers and adult incontinent products, feminine hygiene
products and hospital underpads. Film Products' primary customer
for embossed films for backsheet is P&G, the leading disposable diaper
manufacturer.
Film Products also supplies permeable films to P&G for use as liners in adult
incontinent products, feminine hygiene products and hospital underpads. In
addition, P&G purchases molded plastic products from Molded Products. P&G and
Tredegar have had a successful, long-term relationship based on cooperation,
product innovation and continuous process improvement. The loss or significant
reduction of business associated with P&G would have a material adverse effect
on Tredegar's business.
Molded Products sales declined due primarily to significantly lower technical
services revenues and lower volume in tooling and packaging and industrial
products, partially offset by the inclusion of Polestar since its acquisition
effective July 31, 1993.

Refer to Notes to Financial Tables on page 26.
Metal Products sales increased 12% in 1993 due primarily to higher volume in
Aluminum Extrusions. Improved economic conditions and efforts to increase volume
with new and existing customers contributed to the improvement.
Net sales reported under the Other segment are primarily APPX Software revenues.
1992 Compared With 1991
Plastics net sales declined 2% in 1992 due primarily to the divestiture of
Molded Products' beverage closure business in the fourth quarter of 1991. Film
Products sales in 1992 declined slightly compared with record sales in 1991.
Domestic disposable volume declined due to reduced customer market share. For
Film Products overall, lower domestic volumes were partially offset by higher
average selling prices and higher sales volume from foreign operations.
Excluding beverage closure sales for 1991, Molded Products showed a slight
improvement in sales for 1992, reflecting higher sales volume and average
prices.
Metal Products sales increased 8% in 1992 due primarily to significantly higher
volume in Aluminum Extrusions and a full year of Brudi sales (acquired in April
1991). Higher sales volume in Aluminum Extrusions resulted from increased
capacity and orders for wood-clad window and automobile after-market products,
improved economic conditions, increased focus on targeted customers and
customer response to lower average prices. The decline in average selling prices
reflected lower aluminum costs.

Operating Profit By Industry Segment
Segment operating profit includes certain charges for general and administrative
expenses incurred at the corporate level. These charges are readily identifiable
with each industry segment. However, segment operating profit excludes corporate
charges that, by their nature, cannot be identified with or assigned to an
industry segment.
1993 Compared With 1992
Plastics segment operating profit declined $5.7 million, or 22%, from 1992 due
to unusual items (see applicable references to Notes to Financial Tables) and
lower profits from ongoing operations in both Film Products and Molded
Products. A major cause of the decline in operating results in Film Products
was lower-than-expected demand for industrial films, disposable permeable films
for domestic markets and disposable backsheet film for private-label diaper
manufacturers. In recent years, Film Products has invested in new capacity and
printing capabilities aimed at meeting anticipated customer needs. These
expected sales have not materialized and, as such, the costs associated with
these investments have reduced profitability. Also, the commercialization of
Monax Plus packaging films is taking longer than expected. In response to the
changing competitive environment, Tredegar is exiting the conventional films
business through the planned divestiture of its Flemington, New Jersey, plant;
consolidating manufacturing capacity with the planned disposal of its Fremont,
California, facility; and cutting costs and seeking new avenues to sales
growth.
Reduced demand from manufacturers of branded consumer products has also
affected results in Molded Products. Molded Products operating profit declined
due to lower volume, especially lower tooling and technical sales, and higher
conversion costs. The decline was partially offset by the inclusion of Polestar
results since July 31, 1993, the effective date of acquisition.
Metal Products operating profit increased significantly in 1993, driven by a
11% increase in volume in Aluminum Extrusions. Operating profits were also up as
a result of Aluminum Extrusions' successful efforts to improve manufacturing
efficiency, including lower scrap rates and customer returns, and lower selling,
general and administrative costs.
Tredegar's overall results continue to be adversely affected by operating
losses at APPX Software and spending at Molecumetics. Expenses in these areas
have been higher than expected. In addition, software revenues are not
developing as quickly as anticipated. The resulting losses were partially
offset by pretax gains of $2.3 million realized on the sale of Tredegar's
remaining investment in Emisphere common stock. Ongoing activities resulted in
an operating loss of $9.7 million in 1993. Looking forward, it is anticipated
that these activities will continue to generate losses in the near term.
1992 Compared With 1991
Plastics segment operating profit increased $3.7 million in 1992 due to higher
profits in Molded Products, partially offset by lower profits in Film Products
and the $1.2 million accelerated write-off of certain goodwill associated with
the Molded Products restructuring. The significant increase in Molded Products
operating profit is primarily due to restructuring efforts. Film Products
operating profit declined as a result of lower domestic sales in
disposables and related higher unit conversion costs, partially offset by higher
sales from foreign operations.
Metal Products operating profit in 1992 increased by $7.1 million over 1991,
reflecting significantly higher sales volume and lower unit conversion costs in
Aluminum Extrusions. Internal improvements, including lower administrative
costs, also contributed to higher profits.
The Other segment reflects research and development efforts at Molecumetics and
other new technologies, partially offset by a pretax gain of $1.1 million
realized on the sale of a portion of Emisphere common stock.

Identifiable Assets By Industry Segment
The amounts reported as identifiable assets are total assets of all
subsidiaries and divisions in each segment. Identifiable assets in the Other
segment represent primarily APPX Software, Molecumetics and investments in
Emisphere common stock as well as certain other investments. General corporate
assets are primarily corporate property, plant and equipment. Net assets
held for sale, primarily land and buildings held for sale related to closed
facilities, are shown separately at estimated net realizable value.
Identifiable assets by industry segment were $306.8 million at December 31,
1993, a decrease of approximately $2.3 million from 1992. The increase in the
Plastics segment was primarily due to the acquisition of Polestar. The decrease
in Metal Products was attributable to depreciation in excess of capital
spending and asset disposals, partially offset by higher inventories and
receivables to support higher sales. The decrease in Other segment
identifiable assets was primarily due to depreciation and amortization in
excess of capital spending and the sale of Emisphere common stock, partially
offset by new investments totaling $.6 million and the write-up of certain
intangibles to their pretax amounts under SFAS No. 109.
Identifiable assets by industry segment were $309 million at December 31, 1992,
an increase of $21.5 million from 1991 identifiable assets. The increase is
primarily Film Products' investment in the new Tacoma facility, and the
acquisition of APPX Software at the end of 1992. The decrease in net assets held
for sale resulted primarily from the sale of the Pittsfield, Massachusetts,
tooling facility in the fourth quarter of 1992. The increase in the assets of
Plastics and Metal Products reflected the acquisitions of Folium Plasticos
Especiais and Fielden Engineers, Ltd., respectively.

Refer to Notes to Financial Tables on page 26.
Depreciation and Amortization By Industry Segment
Segment depreciation and amortization increased to $25.1 million from $22.2
million in 1992 due to the Other segment (APPX Software and Molecumetics) and
higher depreciation in Film Products as a result of starting up the Tacoma,
Washington, plant in 1993. Metal Products had lower depreciation due to lower
levels of spending in 1992 and 1991. The Other segment includes primarily
amortization of intangibles acquired in the acquisition of APPX Software.
In 1992, total segment depreciation and amortization declined $2.3 million as
Molded Products and Aluminum Extrusions had lower depreciation due to
restructuring and lower levels of capital spending in 1992 and 1991.
Maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment were $17.3 million,
$17.9 million and $19.4 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The
decreases reflect fewer plants and the modernization of remaining
plants.
Capital Expenditures By Industry Segment
Segment capital expenditures in 1993 were $14 million, down from $20.4 million
in 1992. Plastics capital expenditures decreased due to unused capacity in Film
Products and Molded Products as a result of unfavorable market conditions and
higher spending for capacity expansions in Film Products from 1989 through 1992.
Capital spending in Metal Products declined as a result of relatively higher
capital spending in prior years. The Other segment reflects capital spending at
APPX Software and Molecumetics. Acquisitions and other investments in 1993
include primarily Polestar.
Segment capital expenditures in 1992 were $20.4 million, down slightly from
1991. Plastics segment expenditures reflect the addition of capacity in Film
Products, including the Tacoma, Washington, plant. These expenditures were
offset by lower spending in Molded Products. Metal Products capital
requirements were significantly lower than in prior years as major projects
were completed. Other expenditures were primarily related to leasehold
improvements and equipment purchases at the Molecumetics research laboratory.
Acquisitions in 1992 include APPX Software, Folium Plasticos Especiais (plastic
film) and Fielden Engineers (materials handling). In early 1992, Tredegar
exercised its right to acquire additional shares of Emisphere common stock
which were sold at a gain in 1993.

(d) Unusual items in 1993 include estimated costs related to the closing of
a Film Products plant in Flemington, New Jersey ($1,815), and the reorga-
nization of corporate functions ($900), partially offset by the gain on the sale
of Tredegar's remaining investment in Emisphere Technologies, Inc. ($2,263).
(e) Unusual items in 1992 include the accelerated write-off of certain
goodwill associated with the restructuring of Molded Products ($1,182)
partially offset by the gain on the sale of a portion of an investment in
Emisphere Technologies, Inc. ($1,092).
(f) Unusual items in 1991 include costs related to plant closings in Molded
Products ($4,412) offset by a credit ($2,797) related to management's
decision to continue operating the vinyl extrusions business, and the gain on
the sale of Molded Products' beverage closure business ($894).
(g) Unusual items in 1990 include costs related to divestitures and
reorganization, including results of operations from August 1. The Metal
Products segment also includes provisions for environmental review and cleanup
and costs related to certain legal proceedings for ongoing operations.
(h) In the fourth quarter of 1993, Tredegar announced that it is pursuing
the sale of its coal subsidiary, The Elk Horn Coal Corporation. On February 4,
1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties. As a result of these
events, Tredegar is reporting its Energy segment as discontinued operations.
Results of continuing operations are not indicative of the results to be
expected in the future since they exclude income that would be generated from
the reinvestment of divestiture proceeds. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial
Statements on page 33.
(i) Return on average equity is equal to net income per share divided by
average equity per share.
(j) Total return to shareholders is computed as the sum of the change in
stock price during the year plus dividends per share, divided by the stock price
at the beginning of the year.
(k) Unleveraged after-tax earnings (loss) are net income (loss) plus after-
tax interest expense.
(l) Return on average capital employed is unleveraged after-tax earnings
(loss) divided by average capital employed.
(m) Net sales include sales to P&G totaling $145,631, $145,560 and $154,953
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
(n) Includes results to August 1.
(o) In 1993, Tredegar began reporting its business development activities,
primarily investments in high-technology businesses (APPX Software, Inc.,
Molecumetics, Ltd. and Emisphere Technologies, Inc.), as a separate industry
segment.
(p) Export sales totaled $52,642, $48,566 and $49,595 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. The majority of these export sales were made by the
Plastics segment.
(q) Net assets held for sale include zero, $1,721 and $9,600 in current
assets and $3,605, $2,609 and $4,000 in noncurrent assets in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tredegar Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tredegar
Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries ("Tredegar") 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 financial statements are the responsibility of Tredegar's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tredegar as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 14 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective as of the beginning of 1993, Tredegar changed its method of accounting
for postretirement benefits other than pensions to conform with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and its method of accounting for income
taxes to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.

Management's Report on the Financial Statements
Tredegar's management has prepared the financial statements and related notes
appearing on pages 28 through 39 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In so doing, management makes informed judgments and
estimates of the expected effects of events and transactions. Financial data
appearing elsewhere in this annual report are consistent with these financial
statements.
Tredegar maintains a system of internal controls to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance of the reliability of the financial records and the
protection of assets. The internal control system is supported by written
policies and procedures, careful selection and training of qualified
personnel and an extensive internal audit program.
These financial statements have been audited by Coopers & Lybrand, independent
certified public accountants. Their audit was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and included a review of Tredegar's
internal accounting controls to the extent considered necessary to determine
audit procedures.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of outside directors
only, meets with management, internal auditors and the independent
accountants to review accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters. The
independent accountants are appointed by the Board on recommendation of the
Audit Committee, subject to shareholder approval.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tredegar Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Operations. Tredegar Industries, Inc., and subsidiaries
("Tredegar") became an independent company on July 10, 1989, when Ethyl
Corporation ("Ethyl") spun off its plastics, aluminum and energy businesses.
During 1993, Tredegar acquired Polestar Plastics, Inc., a custom molder of
precision plastic parts for the medical and electronics markets. During 1992,
Tredegar acquired APPX Software, Inc. (formerly Kennedy & Company) (software),
Folium Plasticos Especiais (plastic film) and Fielden Engineers, Ltd.
(materials handling). These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase
method; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities have
been recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods from 7 to 15 years. The operating results of entities acquired have
been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since the
date of acquisition.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated
financial statements include accounts and operations of Tredegar and all of its
subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions within Tredegar have been
eliminated. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1993 presentation.
Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of cash in excess of daily operating
requirements invested in marketable securities with maturities of three months
or less.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
principally determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis. Other
inventories are stated on either the weighted average cost or the first-in,
first-out basis. Cost elements included in work-in-process and finished goods
inventories are raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Accounts include costs of
assets constructed or purchased, related delivery and installation costs and
interest incurred on significant capital projects during their construction
periods. Expenditures for renewals and betterments also are capitalized, but
expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost and
accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are removed from
the respective accounts, and gains or losses thereon are included in
income.
Property, plant and equipment includes capitalization of interest incurred on
capital projects of $320, $607 and $813 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Depletion of coal mineral rights and
development costs are computed by the unit-of-production method based on
estimated proven recoverable reserves.
Tredegar follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
exploration and production activities whereby (i) geological and geophysical
costs are expensed as incurred, and (ii) exploratory drilling
costs that result in the discovery of proved reserves and development costs,
including development of dry holes, are capitalized. Depletion of producing oil
and gas properties is computed by the unit-of-production method based on an
estimate of proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. Leasehold costs of
unproved properties are capitalized and amortized on a composite basis at rates
based on past experience and average lease life.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill acquired prior to November 1, 1970
($19,879), is not being amortized. Goodwill acquired subsequently ($19,764,
$19,946 and $18,043 at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, net of
accumulated amortization), is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
from 7 to 40 years. Other intangibles ($6,086, $4,752 and $519 at December 31,
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, net of accumulated amortization), consisting
primarily of proprietary software technology acquired and the cost of certain
non-competition agreements, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods from 5 to 7 years.
Pension Plans. Annual costs of pension plans are determined
actuarially in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions."
Tredegar's policy is to fund its pension plans at amounts not less than the
minimum requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. Effective January 1, 1993,
Tredegar adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 106 requires recognition of the cost of
postretirement benefits during the employees' service periods. Previously, such
expenses were accounted for on a cash basis. Tredegar elected to immediately
recognize the liability for prior years' service as the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 1993
Tredegar recorded an unfunded, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of
$6,695 and a noncurrent, deferred income tax benefit of $2,545, resulting in an
after-tax charge of $4,150. Tredegar's current policy is to fund related
benefits when claims are incurred.
Postemployment Benefits. Tredegar periodically provides certain postemployment
benefits purely on a discretionary basis. Accordingly, under SFAS No.
112, "Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," related costs for these
programs are accrued when it is probable that such benefits will be paid. All
other postemployment benefits are either accrued under current benefit plans or
are not material to Tredegar's financial position or results of operations.
Income Taxes. Effective January 1, 1993, Tredegar adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires the asset and liability
method of accounting for deferred income taxes, whereby enacted statutory tax
rates are applied to the differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle was a reduction in deferred income taxes and a
corresponding increase in net income of $4,300 in the first quarter of 1993.
Deferred income taxes were determined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 11 prior to 1993.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between financial and
income tax reporting of various items, principally depreciation and accruals for
employee benefits, divestitures, plant shutdowns and environmental remediation.
Software Development Costs. Tredegar, through APPX
Software, a wholly owned subsidiary, is involved in the development and sale of
computer software. Software development costs are accounted for in accordance
with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." This statement requires that all costs incurred
to establish the technological feasibility of a computer software product to be
sold, leased or otherwise marketed be considered research and development
costs. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility is
established, all software development and production costs are capitalized and
subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.
Capitalization is discontinued once software is available for sale or lease.
Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and anticipated future revenues
for each product over periods not exceeding 5 years, with an annual minimum
equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated remaining life of
the product.
Capitalized software costs are included in "Other assets and deferred charges"
and totaled $433 and $561 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Earnings Per Share. Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the periods
presented, stock options have an immaterial dilutive effect. The number of
shares used in computing earnings per share were 10,894,802, 10,894,370 and
10,894,357 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
2. Discontinued Operations
In November 1993, Tredegar announced that it is pursuing the sale of its coal
subsidiary, The Elk Horn Coal Corporation ("Elk Horn"). Assuming Elk Horn
can be sold on terms agreeable to Tredegar, the sale is expected to be
completed by mid-1994, and a gain is expected to be recognized. In addition, on
February 4, 1994, Tredegar sold its remaining oil and gas properties for
approximately $8,000. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately
$6,100 ($3,900 after income taxes), which will be recognized in 1994. As a
result of the potential sale of Elk Horn and the sale of Tredegar's remaining
oil and gas properties, the Energy segment is being reported as discontinued
operations. Accordingly, information about results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and industry segments has been reclassified
where appropriate.
Results from continuing operations are not indicative of future performance
because they exclude income that would be generated from reinvestment of
divestiture proceeds. Tredegar expects to use these proceeds to repay
outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, with remaining
proceeds invested until opportunities, in existing businesses or elsewhere,
are identified.
The combined statements of income and net assets of the
discontinued Energy segment are presented below:

Total liabilities 11,280 5,654
Net assets of discontinued operations $30,976 $29,804
Transactions between Tredegar and the Energy segment are reflected in the
combined financial statements as though they are settled immediately and there
are no amounts due to or from Tredegar at the end of any period. All of the
Energy segment's full-time employees participate in Tredegar's noncontributory
defined benefit plan for salaried employees. These employees also participate
in Tredegar's welfare (medical, life and disability) and savings plans.
Accordingly, related costs have been allocated to discontinued operations.
Interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations based upon the ratio
of the Energy segment's capital employed (net assets) to Tredegar's consolidated
capital employed.
For federal income tax purposes, results of the Energy segment's operations have
been included in Tredegar's consolidated tax return. The Energy segment's
provision for income taxes represents its allocated share of Tredegar's income
tax expense. The allocated share approximates income tax expense that would have
been incurred had the Energy segment (i) filed a separate consolidated tax
return, and (ii) separately computed income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109 in 1993 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 prior to 1993.
Unusual items totaling $1,424 in 1993 include gains on the sale of certain oil
and gas properties. The significant changes in coal lands and deferred income
taxes from December 31, 1992 to December 31, 1993, were due to the write-up of
coal lands to their pretax amount in accordance with SFAS No. 109.
Under a new law (the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992) (the
"Act"), assigned operators (former employers) are responsible for a portion of
the funding of medical and death benefits of certain retired miners and
dependents of the United Mine Workers of America. Elk Horn was notified in
October 1993 that it is responsible for 57 retirees and 143 dependents
under the Act. In accordance with applicable pronouncements, premiums of $371
have been charged to Elk Horn's operating results in 1993. Based upon an
actuarial valuation, Tredegar estimates that the present value of the
unfunded obligation amounts to approximately $6,000 ($3,720 after income taxes).
Should Tredegar sell Elk Horn and retain the obligations under the Act, the
expected gain will be reduced accordingly.
3. Industry Segments
See pages 19 to 24 for net sales, operating profit, identifiable assets

pretax gain of $1,092 ($680 after income taxes). In 1993, Tredegar sold its
remaining 428,571 shares for $5,263 and recognized a pretax gain of $2,263
($1,410 after income taxes). In total, Tredegar received $7,255 for its $3,900
investment in Emisphere common stock, resulting in a pretax gain of $3,355
($2,090 after income taxes).
As of December 31, 1993, Tredegar, through a subsidiary, owned 5% of a venture
capital limited partnership. Tredegar's total capital commitment is $2,000, with
$800 invested as of December 31, 1993. Additional contributions of $1,200 are

Total $97,000 $101,500
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, $6,000 and $6,500, respectively, were borrowed
under short-term credit arrangements at average interest rates of 3.8% and
5.1%, respectively. The balances outstanding in each year were classified as
long-term debt in accordance with Tredegar's intention and ability to refinance
such obligations on a long-term basis.
On June 16, 1993, Tredegar paid a $1,800 ($1,115 after income taxes) prepayment
premium to an institutional lender to refinance its $35,000, 8.6% fixed-rate
debt that was due in September 1994. The new note carries a fixed rate of 7.2%
and matures in June 2003. Annual principal payments of $5,000 will begin in
1997. Tredegar estimates that the carrying value of its fixed-rate note
approximated its fair value at December 31, 1993.
During the third quarter of 1993, Tredegar's variable-rate revolving credit
agreement was amended to increase the maximum debt allowed under such agreement
from $150,000 to $180,000. The maturity date under the agreement was extended by
one year to June 16, 1996. The agreement provides for a commitment fee of .375%
on the unused amount. The agreement also provides for extensions of the
maturity date in one-year increments. The interest rate on the revolving loan
was 4% and 4.4% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
During 1992, Tredegar borrowed $35,000 under a variable-rate term loan due on
June 7, 1997. The interest rate on the term loan was 4.4% and 4.9% at December
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate on all variable-rate loans outstanding
during the year was 4.2% in 1993, compared with 4.9% in 1992.
Tredegar's loan agreements contain restrictions, among others, on the payment
of cash dividends. At December 31, 1993, $37,415 was available for cash
dividend payments.
11. Shareholder Rights Agreement
Pursuant to a Rights Agreement dated as of June 15, 1989 (as amended), between
Tredegar and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company as Rights Agent (the
"Rights Agreement"), one Right is attendant to each share of Tredegar common
stock. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from Tredegar
one one-hundredth of a share of Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock,
Series A (the "Preferred Stock"), at an exercise price of $50 (the "Purchase
Price"). The Rights will become exercisable, if not earlier redeemed, only if
a person or group acquires 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Tredegar
common stock or announces a tender offer, the consummation of which would
result in ownership by a person or group of 10% or more of Tredegar common
stock. Any action by a person who, together with his associates and affiliates,
owned 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Tredegar common stock on
July 10, 1989, cannot cause the Rights to become exercisable.
Each holder of a Right, upon the occurrence of certain events, will become
entitled to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Preferred
Stock (or in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of
Tredegar or a potential acquirer) having a value equal to twice the amount of
the Purchase Price.
The Rights will expire on June 30, 1999.
12. Stock Option Plans
Tredegar has two stock option plans whereby stock options may be granted to
purchase a specified number of shares of Tredegar common stock at a price not
less than the fair market value on the date of grant and for a term not to
exceed 10 years. In addition to the stock options, recipients may also be
granted stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and restricted stock.
Activity for 1991-1993 is shown at the bottom of this page.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, options to purchase 452,352 and 247,473 shares,
respectively, were exercisable and 752,900 and 761,900 shares, respectively,
were available for grant.

Total $11,909
Contractual obligations for plant construction and purchases of real property
and equipment amounted to approximately $2,029 and $2,062 at December 31, 1993
and 1992, respectively.
14. Retirement Plans & Other Postretirement Benefits
Tredegar has noncontributory defined benefit plans covering most employees. The
plans for salaried and hourly employees currently in effect are based on a
formula using the participant's years of service and compensation or using the
participant's years of service and a dollar amount. Plan assets consist
principally of common stock and U.S. government and corporate obligations.
The components of net pension income for Tredegar's plans for 1993, 1992 and
1991 are as follows:
1993 1992 1991
Return on plan assets:
Actual return $18,557 $7,509 $18,000
Expected return greater
(lower) than actual (8,097) 2,327 (8,191)
Expected return 10,460 9,836 9,809
Amortization of transition asset 1,231 1,231 1,235
Service cost (benefits earned
during the year) (3,072) (3,139) (2,953)
Interest cost on projected
benefit obligation (6,515) (6,104) (5,685)
Amortization of prior service costs (805) (738) (729)
Curtailment loss recognized - - (230)
Net pension income $ 1,299 $ 1,086 $ 1,447
The following table presents a reconciliation of the funded status of Tredegar's
pension plans at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, to prepaid pension expense:
1993 1992 1991
Plan assets at fair value $130,603 $116,587 $111,714
Actuarial present value
of benefit obligations:
Accumulated benefit obligation

$85,828, $65,400 and
$60,437, respectively) (89,221) (68,469) (63,868)
Projected compensation

benefit obligation 30,157 32,909 32,376
Unrecognized net gain (11,736) (14,475) (15,508)
Unrecognized transition asset
being amortized principally
over 16 years (6,687) (7,918) (9,149)
Unrecognized prior service costs
being amortized 5,464 5,631 6,273
Prepaid pension expense $17,198 $16,147 $13,992
Prepaid pension expense of $17,198 and $16,147 is included in "Other assets and
deferred charges" in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
Net pension income and plan obligations are calculated using assumptions of
discount rates on projected benefit obligations, rates of projected increases in
compensation, and expected rates of return on plan assets. The discount rate on
projected benefit obligations was assumed to be 7% at December 31, 1993, and 8%
at December 31, 1992 and 1991. The rate of projected compensation increase was
assumed to be 5% at December 31, 1993, and 5.5% at December 31, 1992 and 1991.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was assumed to be 9% each
year. Net pension income is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of
each year. Funded status is determined using assumptions as of the end of each
year.
In December 1993, Tredegar established a non-qualified supplemental pension plan
covering certain employees. The plan is designed to restore all or a part of the
pension benefits that would have been payable to designated participants from
Tredegar's principal pension plans if it were not for limitations imposed by
income tax regulations. The projected benefit obligation relating to this
unfunded plan ($612 at December 31, 1993) is being amortized over the average
remaining working life of participants in the plan (approximately $100
annually).
In addition to providing pension benefits, Tredegar provides postretirement life
insurance and health care benefits for certain groups of employees. Tredegar and
retirees share in the cost of postretirement health care benefits, with
employees retiring after July 1, 1993, receiving a fixed subsidy from Tredegar
to cover a portion of their health care premiums. Effective January 1, 1993,
Tredegar adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" (see Note 1 on page 32). In accordance with the
new standard, prior years' financial statements have not been restated.
Previously, such expenses were accounted for on a cash basis.
The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost are
as follows:
1993
Service cost (benefits earned during the year) $186
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation 492
Net postretirement benefit cost $678
The following table presents a reconciliation of the funded status of Tredegar's
postretirement life insurance and health care benefit plans at December 31, 1993
and January 1, 1993, to accrued postretirement benefit cost:
1993 1993
Plan assets at fair value $ - $ -
Accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation (APBO):
Retirees (3,001) (3,411)
Other fully eligible participants (2,408) (1,749)
Other active participants (1,755) (1,535)
Total APBO (7,164) (6,695)
APBO in excess of plan assets (7,164) (6,695)
Unrecognized gain (52) -
Accrued postretirement benefit cost ($7,216) ($6,695)
Accrued postretirement benefit cost of $7,216 is included in "Other noncurrent
liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1993.
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7% at December 31, 1993, and 8% at January 1, 1993. The rate of
annual pay increase for life insurance benefits was assumed to be 5% at December
31, 1993, and 5.5% at January 1, 1993. A 14% and 11.2% annual rate of increase
in the per-capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed at December
31, 1993, for the indemnity and managed care plans, respectively. A 15% and 12%
annual rate of increase in the per-capita cost of covered health care benefits
was assumed at January 1, 1993, for the indemnity and managed care plans,
respectively. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 6% and 5%,
respectively, in year 2002 and remain at that level thereafter. Net
postretirement benefit cost is determined using assumptions as of the beginning
of each year. Funded status is determined using assumptions as of the end of
each year.
If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were changed by 1%, the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993,
would be changed by approximately $25. The effect of this change on the sum of
the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement
benefit cost for 1993 would be immaterial.
15. Savings Plan
Tredegar has a savings plan whereby eligible employees may voluntarily
contribute a percentage of their compensation. Under the provisions of the plan,
Tredegar matches a portion of the employee's contribution to the plan with
shares of Tredegar common stock. Contributions accrued by Tredegar in 1993,
1992 and 1991, amounted to $2,146, $1,818 and $2,121, respectively.
16. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, Tredegar adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which requires use of the asset and liability method of accounting for
deferred income taxes (see Note 1 on page 32). As permitted under the new
standard, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. Deferred
income taxes were determined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11
for years prior to 1993.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and
income taxes are as follows:
1993 1992 1991
Income from continuing operations
before income taxes:
Domestic $4,460 $13,307 $3,252
Foreign 2,465 2,635 735
Total $6,925 $15,942 $3,987
Current income taxes:
Federal $2,190 $ 5,423 ($621)
State 759 919 849
Foreign 1,671 181 141
Total 4,620 6,523 369
Deferred income taxes:
Federal (848) (378) 1,520
State (197) (222) (537)
Foreign (721) 502 116
Adjustment for 1% increase in
federal statutory rate 348 - -
Total (1,418) (98) 1,099
Total income taxes $3,202 $ 6,425 $1,468
The significant differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the
effective income tax rate for continuing operations are as follows:
Percent of Income from Continuing
Operations Before Income Taxes
Years Ended December 31 1993 1992 1991
Income tax expense at federal
statutory rate 35.0 34.0 34.0
State taxes, net of federal
income tax benefit 5.3 2.9 5.2
Foreign Sales Corporation (3.1) (3.6) (13.6)
Adjustment of deferred income
taxes for 1% increase in
federal statutory rate 5.0 - -
Research and development tax
credit (5.8) - -
Goodwill amortization 5.1 1.0 3.8
Accelerated write-off of
certain goodwill - 2.5 -
Other items, net 4.7 3.5 7.4
Effective income tax rate 46.2 40.3 36.8
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between financial and
income tax reporting of various items. The source of these differences and the
tax effects for continuing operations were as follows:
1993 1992 1991
Depreciation ($2,002) $1,176 ($1,461)
Divestitures, plant shutdowns
and environmental accruals 1,229 (846) 2,992
Employee benefits 309 (132) (310)
Other items, net (954) (296) (122)
Total ($1,418) ($98) $1,099
Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1993 and
January 1, 1993, reflecting the adoption of SFAS No. 106 and 109, are as
follows:
December 31, January 1,
1993 1993
Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation $16,982 $18,984
Pensions 6,642 5,854

Total deferred tax assets 14,513 15,491
Net deferred tax liability $11,553 $13,123
Included in the balance sheet at December 31,1993:
Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities
in excess of assets $23,108
Current deferred tax assets in excess
of liabilities 11,555
Net deferred tax liability $11,553
17. Unusual Items
In 1993, unusual items totaling $452 include estimated costs related to the
planned disposal of a Film Products plant in Flemington, New Jersey ($1,815),
and the reorganization of corporate functions ($900), partially offset by a gain
on the sale of Tredegar's remaining investment in Emisphere ($2,263) (see Note 7
on page 35).
In 1992, unusual items totaling $90 include the accelerated write-off of certain
goodwill associated with the restructuring of Molded Products ($1,182) partially
offset by the gain on the sale of a portion of Tredegar's investment in
Emisphere ($1,092) (see Note 7 on page 35).
In 1991, the decisions to close the Pomona, California, and LaGrange, Kentucky,
Molded Products plants and to sell the Pittsfield, Massachusetts, tooling plant
resulted in unusual charges to earnings totaling $4,412. Management's decision
in 1991 to continue to operate Fiberlux resulted in a $2,797 reversal of the
unusual charge accrued in 1990. In addition, a gain on the sale of the
Molded Products beverage closure business of $894 is reflected in unusual items
in 1991.
18. Contingencies
Tredegar is involved in various stages of investigation and clean up relating
to environmental matters at certain of its plant locations. Where management
has determined the nature and scope of any required environmental cleanup
activity, estimates of cleanup costs have been obtained and accrued. As
management continues its efforts to assure compliance with environmental laws
and regulations, additional contingencies may be identified. If additional
contingencies are identified, it is management's practice to determine the
nature and scope of such contingencies, obtain and accrue the estimated cost of
remediation, and begin remediation. While it is not possible to predict the
course of ongoing environmental compliance activities, management does not
currently believe that additional costs that could arise from such activities
will have a material adverse effect on Tredegar's financial position; however,
such costs could have a material adverse effect on quarterly or annual
operating results when resolved in a future period.
Tredegar is involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal
course of business. After taking into consideration legal counsels' evaluation
of such actions, management believes that Tredegar has sufficiently accrued for
possible losses and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect
on Tredegar's financial position; however, the resolution of such actions in a
future period could have a material adverse effect on quarterly or annual
operating results at that time.
Tredegar Industries, Inc., is a diversified manufacturer of plastics and metal
products. Tredegar also has interests in energy, computer software and rational
drug design research.
