Business (a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF REGISTRANT BUSINESS The major business developments of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("Registrant" or "KCSI") and the Registrant's subsidiaries for 1994 are as follows: Transportation Services Illinois Central Transaction. On July 19, 1994, the Registrant announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with Illinois Central Corporation ("IC") for merger of the Registrant's Transportation Services operations with IC. The Registrant incurred expenses related to this transaction in 1994 totalling $.04 per share. On October 24, 1994, the Registrant and IC jointly announced that they mutually agreed to terminate the letter of intent between them. The Registrant and the IC were not able to reach a definitive agreement on a number of issues. Pursuant to the letter of intent with IC, the Registrant is unable to enter into certain types of business combinations prior to October 1995, without payment of a fee to IC of $25 million. MidSouth Acquisition. As previously disclosed in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, the Registrant closed the acquisition of MidSouth on June 10, 1993. Effective January 1, 1994, MidSouth was operationally and administratively merged into The Kansas City Southern Railway Company ("KCSR", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant).The previous MidSouth geographic area is now called the KCSR Eastern Division. SWEPCO Litigation. As was previously disclosed in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, KCSR was a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Bowie County, Texas by Southwestern Electric Power Company ("SWEPCO"). In that case, SWEPCO alleged that KCSR was required to reduce SWEPCO's coal transportation rate due to changed circumstances allegedly creating a "gross inequity" under the provisions of the coal transportation contract existing among SWEPCO, KCSR and the Burlington Northern Railroad. SWEPCO is KCSR's largest single customer. KCSR and SWEPCO have settled this litigation and the case against KCSR has been dismissed. This matter was concluded without material adverse effect on the financial condition or future results of operations of the Registrant. Other Transportation Services Activity. In May 1992, KCSR signed an agreement with the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway ("Santa Fe") to purchase portions of its rail line in the Dallas, Texas area. The sale consists of approximately 90 miles of track and an 80 acre intermodal facility. The agreement will be implemented in phases over several years and has gained KCSR direct access to the Dallas market for the first time in the Registrant's history. Phase I of this agreement, completed on October 31, 1993, included the portion of Santa Fe's line between Farmersville, Texas and a switch at Zacha Junction, Texas. Phase II was partially completed in April 1994 and included the Zacha Junction intermodal facility. It is anticipated that the final portion of Phase II of the acquisition, which includes certain industry access', is anticipated to be completed in the first half of 1995. During 1994, KCSR continued emphasis of important safety and quality programs, which includes the Safety Training Observation Program (S.T.O.P. - originally established by E.I. DuPont). The S.T.O.P. program is designed to curtail employee injuries through elimination of unsafe acts in the workplace. Increased safety awareness achieved positive results in 1992 and 1993 with an approximate 31% reduction in Federal Railroad Administration reportable employee injuries in 1993 as compared to 1992 and an approximate 28% reduction in employee injuries in 1992 when compared to 1991. In 1994, however, the Company experienced a doubling of Federal Railroad Administration reportable [Page 1] employee injuries compared to 1993. This significant increase in injuries is primarily attributable to the merger of the MidSouth into KCSR, (MidSouth statistics are not included prior to 1994). KCSR continued its substantial commitment towards a safer work environment in 1994 and remains committed to continuing safety awareness. During 1994, KCSR revenues, including full year MidSouth for comparative purposes, rose 3% compared to 1993. General commodity revenues, excluding intermodal traffic, rose on slightly higher traffic volumes. The higher traffic volumes resulted, in part, from a strengthening of economic conditions in the Registrant's service area. Higher traffic volumes were experienced in carloadings of chemicals, petroleum products, non-metallic ores, food products, and stone/clay. Offsetting these somewhat were lower carload volumes in farm products where the reduced grain supplies as a result of the flood of 1993 caused export grain shipments to decline; and paper and wood due mainly to connection problems from the strike affected SOO Line. Intermodal units increased (+46%) in 1994. Increased volume on the Kansas City/Dallas corridor and initiation of through train service from Atlanta, Georgia through the Meridian, Mississippi gateway, to Dallas, Texas, in conjunction with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company commencing in mid-November 1994, contributed to the increased carloadings. Unit coal revenues were down 4% from 1993, due for the most part to the absence of shipments to the Monticello, Texas, electric generating plant. This plant was shut down in 1994 due to a smoke stack collapse in late 1993. The plant is expected to be back on line in late 1995. In late 1994, KCSR completed a transaction for the private placement of financing of locomotives and rolling stock using Equipment Trust Certificates ("ETC's"). The ETC's were placed for an aggregate of $54.7 million representing 31 locomotives, 625 boxcars and 300 covered hopper cars, which had been placed in service during 1993 and 1994. The financing represents 85% of equipment value, bears interest at a rate of 8.56%, and matures in 2006. During 1994, KCSR completed the major portion of a rail track and structure program which first began in 1986. In addition, as part of the MidSouth Corporation acquisition, a planned upgrade of the existing MidSouth roadbed was added to the program. Increased traffic levels on both the original KCSR route and the recently acquired MidSouth, however, accentuated the need to accelerate the MidSouth portion of the program. By the end of 1994, KCSR had essentially completed the MidSouth upgrade program, thereby improving the capacity, efficiency and safety of the East/West MidSouth route, now called the KCSR Eastern Division. Accordingly, total capital expenditures for 1994 were $207.9 million, versus $108.9 million in 1993. During 1994, Pabtex, Inc. ("Pabtex") the Registrant's petroleum coke export facility, continued improvements in operating income on increased volumes. Southern Leasing Corporation, the Registrant's leveraged lease finance subsidiary, also showed improvement in operating income on improved business volumes. In February 1995, KCSR filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") seeking approval for construction of an approximate nine mile rail line from KCSR's main line into the Geismar, Louisiana industrial area. The Geismar area is a large industrial corridor, which includes companies engaged in the petro-chemical industry, and is currently served by only one rail carrier. The rail line would expect to be completed in approximately 12 to 18 months after ICC approval. The Geismar project extends KCSR's rail line and could be a significant source of traffic and revenues thereby complementing its business in the petro-chemical industry. The KCSR Geismar line extension has received the support of certain shippers in the Geismar industrial area and would provide those shippers with additional rail storage facilities, production efficiencies and competitive transportation service. [Page 2] Information and Transaction Processing DST Systems, Inc. ("DST") DST Public Offering. On January 26, 1995, the Registrant announced that its Board of Directors had authorized development of a plan for a public offering by DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, of approximately 51% of DST's common equity. The purpose of the offering would be to obtain better market recognition of DST's performance and to obtain proceeds for the retirement of debt, including debt owed to the Registrant, and for general corporate purposes. Payments received by the Registrant from DST for debt repayment may be used by the Registrant to reduce its own debt, to repurchase Registrant common stock, and for general corporate purposes. Any such offering would be made only pursuant to a prospectus filed as part of a DST registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Any repurchase of the Registrant's common stock would occur only after public announcement and in compliance with SEC regulations. Sale of Investors Fiduciary Trust Company. On July 19, 1994, the Registrant announced that DST and Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("Kemper") had entered into a letter of intent for the acquisition of their jointly owned affiliate Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC") by State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street"). On September 27, 1994, the Registrant announced that DST and Kemper entered into a definitive agreement with State Street for the sale to State Street of all of the outstanding stock of IFTC Holdings, Inc., which wholly owns IFTC. On January 31, 1995, the Registrant announced that DST had completed the sale of its 50% interest to State Street. At closing of the transaction DST received 2,986,111 shares of State Street common stock in a tax free exchange. This represents an approximate 4% ownership interest by DST in State Street. DST recognized a net gain, after consideration of appropriate tax effects, of approximately $4.7 million on the transaction in first quarter 1995. With the closing of the transaction, IFTC ceases to be an unconsolidated affiliate of DST and no further equity in earnings of IFTC will be recorded by DST. DST recognized equity in earnings from IFTC of $6.5, $4.8 and $4.8 million in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. If State Street continues its prior history with respect to the payment of dividends, DST will record dividend income on any dividends from State Street. Kemper Transactions. In early March 1995, DST signed a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and business operations of Supervised Service Company, Inc. ("SSC"), a subsidiary of Kemper. SSC, headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, provides mutual fund transfer agency services to non-Kemper mutual fund companies (approximately 250,000 accounts), financial institutions and financial services firms. In conjunction with and subject to the SSC transaction, DST also agreed to enter into long term contracts with Kemper to provide mutual fund shareholder system services and portfolio accounting system services for the Kemper Mutual Funds. Kemper is the investment advisor to the Kemper Mutual Fund Group. As a result of these transactions, DST expects to continue to process approximately 2 million Kemper accounts, which had been anticipated to be converted from the DST system in 1995. The SSC transaction is subject to regulatory approval. Vantage Computer Systems, Inc./The Continuum Company, Inc. Transaction. Effective September 30, 1993, the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, DST, completed the merger of its 90.5% owned subsidiary, Vantage Computer Systems, Inc. ("Vantage"), into a subsidiary of The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum"). In the transaction, DST received approximately 3.6 million shares of Continuum stock. As a result of this transaction, and additional Continuum stock purchases made by DST, DST owned approximately 24% of the outstanding common stock of Continuum at December 31, 1993. In 1994, DST purchased additional Continuum shares through privately negotiated transactions. Accordingly, at December 31, 1994, DST owned approximately 29% of Continuum's outstanding common stock (5.5 million shares). For the year ended December 31, 1994, Continuum contributed $7.2 million before tax to the Registrant's earnings. [Page 3] Continuum is a publicly traded international consulting and computer services firm based in Austin, Texas, which primarily serves the needs of life and property and casualty insurance companies for computer software and services. Other DST Activity. Financial institutions within the industries served by DST will continue to evaluate whether to internalize or outsource their servicing and technology needs. This process will have both positive and negative effects on DST's results; however, on an overall basis, DST's customer base is expected to grow. In 1994, DST experienced an overall increase in the number of mutual fund accounts serviced; at December 31, 1994, DST serviced a record total of 32.1 million mutual fund accounts, a 4.1 million account increase over the 28 million accounts serviced at December 31, 1993. The 1994 account increase is a result of overall mutual fund account growth. Kemper Financial Services ("Kemper"), a DST customer, continued the processing of approximately 2 million of its mutual fund shareowner accounts, which were anticipated to be removed in 1994 from the DST system. DST serviced 28 million mutual fund accounts at December 31, 1993, a 5.6 million increase from the 22.4 million accounts serviced at December 31, 1992 and 18.7 million accounts at December 31, 1991. During 1994, DST continued marketing of its Automated Work Distributor TM System ("AWD "), an image-based clerical work management system which was completed and placed in service during 1990. The AWD System's image technology can also be combined with principles of an intelligent work station. AWD was initially implemented in several mutual fund transfer agencies, but through expansion, now resides on more than 8,000 work stations in companies worldwide (a 90% increase since December 31, 1993) and is used to service approximately 54% of the mutual fund shareowner accounts on DST's system. AWD is also used in industries such as insurance, banking and health care. DST and Continuum reached a license agreement, whereby Continuum will market AWD for use in insurance industry applications. During 1994, DST continued marketing of its record keeping system for 401(k) plans, TRAC-2000 TM. TRAC-2000 TM, introduced in late 1991, represents a major commitment by DST to offer the mutual fund industry a fully integrated service for such plans. Integrated with TA2000 TM, DST's mutual fund record keeping system, TRAC-2000 TM delivers comprehensive 401(k) record keeping and ancillary services including full compliance testing in accordance with Department of Labor regulations. DST's output processing businesses, Output Technologies, Inc. ("OTI") continued to expand in 1994. OTI serves as a holding company for businesses which perform printed output processing, commercial printing, telecommunications and fulfillment, graphics design, computer output microfilm/microfiche and printing and mailing of laser printed output, primarily for DST's mutual fund clients but also for a wide range of customers. During 1994 OTI's laser click volume was 802 million pages of printed output, an increase of 20% over the 669 million pages in 1993. Management expects growth in the OTI business will result from DST mutual fund account growth along with expansion and acquisitions in future years. DST's core business operations continued to experience improvements in both revenue growth and profitability in 1994. DST's mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced continued to grow in 1994 rising 15% from 1993, even in a difficult year for many mutual funds. This growth in shareowner accounts also lead to an increase of 20% in the volume of pages printed by DST's output processing businesses. While improved core business volumes resulted in revenue and profitability growth, these profitability improvements were, however, unfavorably affected by lower results from DST's developmental and international business units. As previously disclosed in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, DST began an expansion of certain of its product offerings and geographic locations. It increased its Portfolio Accounting product offerings with the acquisition of Clarke & Tilley, Ltd. ("Clarke & Tilley", a United Kingdom entity) and Belvedere Financial Systems, ("Belvedere"). Clarke & Tilley develops and distributes investment accounting software, primarily in Europe, South Africa, and Australia. Belvedere develops and markets an investment accounting product (the Global Portfolio System) that has potential worldwide applications. DST expanded its mutual fund product offerings with the 1993 [Page 4] acquisition of Corfax Benefit Systems, Ltd. ("Corfax", a Canadian Company), and the formation of Clarke & Tilley Data Services, Ltd., ("CTDS", a United Kingdom entity). Corfax develops and distributes mutual fund shareowner accounting software and provides pension administration processing services. CTDS is developing a unit trust accounting system for the U.K. and Luxembourg markets incorporating DST work management technology. In 1994 DST entered into a series of transactions with State Street wherein DST acquired State Street's 3.75% ownership interest in Clarke & Tilley in exchange for one sixth ownership in Clarke & Tilley Data Services from DST. The net ownership result after these transactions is that DST now owns 100% of Clarke & Tilley and 50% of Clarke & Tilley Data Services, with State Street owning the other 50%. DST also acquired DBS Systems, Inc., a 60% owned subsidiary, which has developed software to provide billing services for DirecTV TM, a commercial direct broadcast satellite system. As a result of rising levels in business volumes, DST began a physical expansion of its Winchester Data Center in 1994. This expansion, which is expected to be completed in 1995, will approximately double the square footage of this facility and is projected to cost slightly over $24 million. Financial Asset Management Janus Capital Corporation Janus Compensation Arrangements Termination. In the fourth quarter 1994, the Registrant recorded certain one time charges to earnings for Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus") resulting from the Janus early termination of employment and earnings related compensation arrangements for certain key employees. The Janus compensation arrangements, which began in 1991, permitted individuals to earn units which vested over time, based upon Janus earnings. These arrangements were scheduled to be fully vested at the end of 1996. The Company negotiated the early termination of the arrangements, which resulted in payments of $48 million, by Janus, in cash in late 1994 and early 1995, of which approximately $21 million had been accrued, upon vesting, in 1994 and previous years. Termination of the arrangements resulted in a net reduction in Janus' contribution to KCSI's consolidated earnings of $13.6 million or $.30 per share. By terminating these arrangements, future years will benefit from a decline in Janus operating expenses amounting to approximately $8 million pretax annually, based on 1994 earnings. Minority Interest Ownership Restructuring. Agreements between the Registrant and Janus minority owners contain, among other provisions, mandatory stock purchase provisions whereby, under certain circumstances, the Registrant would be required to purchase the minority interest. In late 1994, the Registrant was notified that certain Janus minority owners made effective the mandatory purchase provisions for a certain percentage of their ownership. In the aggregate, the shares made effective for mandatory purchase totalled $59 million. Concurrent with the early termination of the Janus compensation arrangements, discussed above, recipients of amounts paid to terminate the arrangements used their after tax net proceeds to purchase certain portions of the shares made effective for mandatory purchase in early 1995. The Janus minority group was restructured to allow for minority ownership by other key Janus employees. These employees purchased other portions of the minority shares effective for mandatory purchase through payment of cash and creation of recourse loans financed by KCSI in the amount of $10.5 million. The remaining minority shares effective for mandatory purchase were purchased by Janus for treasury, $6.1 million, and by the Registrant for $12.7 million. As a result of the combination of the Registrant acquiring additional Janus shares and the reduction of outstanding shares with Janus' treasury purchase, the Registrant increased its ownership in Janus from approximately 81% to 83%, upon closing of the transaction in January 1995. The shares purchased by the Registrant resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the value of underlying tangible assets and will be amortized over its estimated economic life. Other Janus Activity. Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus"), which manages [Page 5] investments for the Janus group of mutual funds, the IDEX equity funds, insurance companies and other institutional accounts, experienced moderate growth in terms of assets under management during 1994. Janus assets under management grew from $22.2 billion at December 31, 1993, to $22.9 billion at December 31, 1994. This growth was chiefly attributable to continued strong fund sales of $6.5 billion, exceeding fund redemptions of $5.3 billion and net fund depreciation of $.5 billion. Growth occurred in a difficult year for investment managers as rising interest rates affected market conditions in general. Total number of shareholders remained essentially unchanged from December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994, at 2 million. Janus operations experienced significant growth in 1993 and 1992 with operating income comprising 38% and 36%, respectively, of the Registrant's consolidated operating income. In 1994, however, operating income declined compared to 1993 while revenues rose 11%. This decline in operating income is primarily attributable to the one time charge to earnings of $13.6 million, $27.1 million pre-tax, from the early termination of compensation arrangements, discussed earlier. Excluding this charge, operating income would have risen compared to 1993, but not at levels seen in prior years. In late 1994, Janus embarked on a new marketing program, which incorporates an extensive multimedia advertising campaign. Initial outlays for production and placement of advertisements were completed in 1994, with further expenditures for placing advertisements continuing into 1995. In 1994 Janus introduced two new fund portfolios; Janus Overseas Fund, an international equity fund in the Janus family, and; Janus International Fund, part of the Aspen Series, both of which opened in May 1994. During 1993, Janus continued to expand the distribution channels of the Janus funds by participating in Schwab's Mutual Fund "OneSource" service of Charles Schwab as well as a similar program offered by Fidelity Investments, both begun in 1992. In addition, Janus introduced two new Janus fund portfolios; Janus Mercury Fund, an equity fund; Janus Federal Tax Exempt Fund, a tax exempt income fund; and the Janus Aspen Series, which consists of six portfolios funded through variable annuity contracts, such as the Janus Retirement Advantage. During 1992, Janus introduced three funds; Janus Enterprise Fund, an equity fund; Janus Balanced Fund, a combination equity/fixed income fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund, an income fund. Additional portfolio managers and research analysts have joined the Janus staff concurrent with the growth in assets under management and new investment products. Janus has expanded its assets under management by marketing advisory services directly to pension plan sponsors, insurance, banking and brokerage firms for their proprietary investment products. These relationships generated approximately $948, $920, and $340 million in new assets in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Berger Associates, Inc. On October 14, 1994, the Registrant completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger"). Berger is the investment advisor to The Berger One Hundred Fund, The Berger One Hundred and One Fund and The Berger Small Company Growth Fund, as well as to private and other accounts, (collectively, "Berger Funds"). Berger had a total of approximately $3 billion in assets under management at December 31, 1994. The Registrant made payments of $47.5 million, in cash, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, (the "Agreement"). The Agreement also provides for additional purchase price payments, totalling approximately $62.4 million, contingent upon Berger attaining certain levels (up to $10 billion) of assets under management, as defined in the Agreement, over a five year period. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, increased the Registrant's ownership in Berger from approximately 18% (acquired in 1992) to over 80%. Adjustments to appropriate asset and liability balances have been recorded based upon estimated fair values of such assets and liabilities. The transaction resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the fair value of underlying tangible assets. The intangible amounts [Page 6] will be amortized over their estimated economic life of 15 years, subject to completion of an economic life analysis. The financial statements of Berger were consolidated into the Registrant effective with the closing of the transaction. Assuming the transaction had been completed on January 1, 1994, the addition of Berger's revenues and net income, including adjustments to reflect the effects of the acquisition, on a pro forma basis, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994, would have had an immaterial effect on the consolidated results of the Registrant. Berger established minority stock ownership for certain key employees which resulted in a one-time pretax increase in Berger's operating expenses of $1.8 million in fourth quarter 1994. The additional minority stock provides ownership incentive to key employees for future growth of Berger and had been anticipated in the acquisition discussed earlier. Combined, the one-time Janus and Berger transactions reduced KCSI's consolidated 1994 earnings by $.32 per share. Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income increases are a direct result of increases in assets under management and processing services. Assets under management and shareholder accounts have grown in recent years from a combination of new money investments or fund sales and market appreciation. Fund sales have risen in response to marketing efforts, favorable fund performance and the current popularity of no-load mutual funds. Market appreciation has resulted from increases in stock investment values. However, a decline in the stock and bond markets and/or an increase in the rate of return of alternative investments could negatively impact Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income. In addition, the mutual fund market, in general, faces increasing competition as the number of mutual funds continues to increase, marketing and distribution channels become more creative and complex, and investors place greater emphasis on published fund recommendations and investment category rankings. These factors could also affect Financial Asset Management and negatively impact revenues and operating income. Unconsolidated Affiliates (primarily DST related) A significant portion of DST and Registrant's consolidated earnings are derived from operations of unconsolidated affiliates, primarily connected with DST. 1994 earnings from such unconsolidated affiliates increased 76% over 1993, from $14.1 million to $24.8 million. Major developments for unconsolidated affiliates during 1994 were: (i) Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC", a 50% owned affiliate of DST) equity earnings for 1994 were up 35% ($1.7 million) from 1993. Although assets under custody were only slightly higher at $125.9 billion compared to $125.1 at December 31, 1993, higher interest earnings and gains on securities sales accounted for the improvement. As disclosed earlier, DST sold its 50% interest in IFTC to State Street effective January 31, 1995. (ii) The Continuum Company ("Continuum", approximately 29% owned affiliate of DST) increased equity earnings $6.5 million over 1993's $700,000 contribution. This was due primarily to DST recognizing their share of Continuum for an entire year as opposed to three months (fourth quarter) in 1993, but also to improved year to year revenues and earnings for Continuum. Improved revenues included several new agreements for Continuum to provide outsource data processing for customers. (iii) Boston Financial Data Services ("BFDS", a 50% owned affiliate of DST) equity earnings for 1994 were 143% ($3 million) over 1993. Increased earnings were driven by a combination of credits on account balances from State Street (the owner of the remaining 50% of BFDS) and higher mutual fund volumes. (iv) Argus Health Systems, Inc. ("Argus", a 50% owned affiliate of DST) equity earnings for 1994 were 57% ($1.3 million) higher than 1993 on record volumes of pharmaceutical benefit claims processed. Argus processed approximately 106 million claims in 1994 compared to 78 million in 1993, a 36% increase. (v) Midland Data Systems, Inc. and Midland Loan Services, L.P. (collectively "Midland", 45% owned affiliates of DST) had higher earnings ($850,000 or 99%) than 1993, mainly on improved margins on loan securitizations. [Page 7] Corporate and Other New KCSI Credit Agreements. During 1994 the Registrant established or increased credit agreements with several lending institutions. These new or expanded credit lines increased the Company's borrowing ability by $150 million to $450 million. The agreements bear interest rates below prime. In 1994, these agreements were utilized to finance the Berger acquisition and subsidiary working capital requirements. Remaining credit capacity under these agreements is intended for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 1994, the Registrant had an aggregate of $115 million of indebtedness outstanding on these agreements. Debt Securities Registration and Offerings - 1993. The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 29, 1993, (File No. 33-60192), registering $200 million in debt securities to be offered in the form of Medium Term Notes. The Registrant's Form S-3 was amended on May 3, 1993 and declared effective on May 10, 1993. Proceeds from the sale of the debt securities were expected to be added to the general funds of the Registrant and used to principally repay debt and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions of or investments in businesses or assets. On June 24, 1993, pursuant to an Indenture and Purchase Agreement, the Registrant issued $100 million of debt securities under this Registration Statement. The transaction, which closed on July 8, 1993, is comprised of Notes bearing interest at a rate of 5.75% maturing in 1998. The net proceeds of this transaction of $99 million, along with certain proceeds from the Registrant's $250 million credit agreement, were used to refinance certain MidSouth debt in July 1993. $500 Million "Universal Shelf" Registration. On September 29, 1993, the Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (File No. 33-69648), registering $500 million in securities. The securities may be offered in the form of Common Stock, New Series Preferred Stock $1 par value, Convertible Debt Securities, or other Debt Securities (collectively, "the Securities"). Net proceeds from the sale of the Securities are expected to be added to the general funds of the Registrant and used principally for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions of or investments in businesses and assets. The SEC has cleared the Registration Statement without review, but the Registrant has not yet requested that it be declared effective and no securities have been issued. Termination of Common Stock Rights. In third quarter 1994, the Registrant's Board of Directors authorized redemption of the Common stock "Rights" issued pursuant to its Rights Plan in 1986. The Board action terminates the exercisability of such Rights and resulted in a payment on September 20, 1994 of one and one-quarter cents ($.0125) per share to Common stockholders of record on August 26, 1994, amounting to approximately $540,000 in the aggregate. Establishment of Par Value for Common Stock. On May 6, 1994, the Registrant amended its certificate of incorporation to set a par value for the Common stock. The amendment established a par value of $.01 per Common share, which had previously been no par, and had the effect of reallocating amounts between categories within stockholders' equity but had no overall effect upon the total amount of stockholders' equity. Increase in Authorized Common Shares. On May 6, 1994, the Registrant amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized Common shares from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000. (b) INDUSTRY SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION Financial information by industry segment for the three years ended December 31, 1994, which appears on pages 68 through 71 of Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, is hereby incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13.1). [Page 8] (c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS The Registrant is a Delaware corporation, organized in 1962, with executive offices located at 114 West 11th Street, Kansas City, Missouri. The Registrant is a holding company which supervises the operations of its subsidiaries, supplying them with managerial, legal, tax, financial and accounting services, and manages its portfolio of other "non-operating" and more passive investments. Employees - As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant and its majority owned subsidiaries employed approximately 8,217 persons, with approximately 2,889 employed in the Transportation Services, 4,490 in Information & Transaction Processing, 800 in Financial Asset Management, and 40 in Corporate and Other. In addition, unconsolidated affiliates of the Registrant and its subsidiaries employed approximately 6,225 persons, including 2,700 and 1,860 at The Continuum Company Inc. ("Continuum") and Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., ("BFDS"), respectively, the largest employers of such ventures. The Registrant's business activities, by industry segment, with principal subsidiary companies are: Transportation Services - The Kansas City Southern Railway Company, its trucking affiliates (collectively "KCSR"), Pabtex, Inc. ("Pabtex") and Southern Leasing Corporation ("Southern Leasing"); along with other subsidiaries supporting the transportation segment. Information & Transaction Processing - DST Systems, Inc. ("DST") and its subsidiaries. Financial Asset Management - Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus") its subsidiaries, and Berger Associates, Inc. Eliminations, Corporate & Other - Registrant's Corporate general and administrative operations, and passive investments. Unconsolidated Affiliates, (primarily DST related) - DST Joint Ventures, The Continuum Company, Inc., Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., Argus Health Systems, Inc., First of Michigan Capital Corporation, Clarke & Tilley Data Systems, Ltd., Midland Data Systems, Inc. and Midland Loan Services, L.P. Transportation Services General Description of the Business-Commodities. The Kansas City Southern Railway Company ("KCSR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, comprises the largest percentage of the Registrant's revenue and assets employed. KCSR operates a rail system of 2,880 main and branch line route miles and 4,104 total track miles in a nine state region. KCSR serves the states of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas, and in conjunction with Union Pacific haulage rights, the two additional states of Nebraska and Iowa. KCSR has the shortest rail route between Kansas City and the Gulf of Mexico, serving the ports of Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas; and New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Reserve and West Lake Charles, Louisiana. Through haulage rights, KCSR also serves the ports of Houston and Galveston, Texas. Kansas City, Missouri, as the second largest rail center in the United States, represents an important gateway for KCSR where it interchanges freight with eight major rail carriers. KCSR also has important interchange gateways in the cities of New Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana; and Dallas and Beaumont, Texas. The Registrant completed the acquisition of MidSouth Corporation ("MidSouth") in June 1993 at which time it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. MidSouth was a regional railroad holding company, which operated over 1,100 track miles. MidSouth, through four operating subsidiaries, served the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee. The MidSouth acquisition provides an important East/West rail line, as a complement to KCSR's predominantly North/South route, and adds interchange gateways in Jackson and Meridian, Mississippi and Birmingham, Alabama. This East/West rail line running from Dallas, Texas to Meridian, Mississippi will allow the Registrant [Page 9] to be more competitive in the transcontinental intermodal transportation market, among others. The acquisition of the MidSouth adds a base of customers in the South Central U.S. to KCSR's traffic base and presents opportunities for the rerouting of certain commodity movements over less circuitous routes. Through haulage rights, MidSouth also serves the city of Gulfport, Mississippi. Effective January 1, 1994, MidSouth was operationally and administratively merged into KCSR. Major commodities handled by KCSR include coal, grain and farm products, petroleum, chemicals, paper and forest products as well as other general commodities and intermodal traffic. Coal continues to be the largest single commodity handled by KCSR since the advent of unit coal train shipments in the mid-1970's from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, via the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific interchange at Kansas City, for movement south by KCSR. KCSR delivers coal to six electric generating plants located at Amsterdam, Missouri; Flint Creek, Arkansas; Welsh, Texas; Mossville (near Lake Charles), Louisiana, Kansas City, Missouri and Pittsburg, Kansas. KCSR also delivers lignite, originating on its line at Thermo, Texas, to an electric generating plant at Monticello, Texas ("Tumco"), a distance of approximately 30 miles. During 1993, the Tumco plant was shut down when one of its smoke stacks collapsed. The plant is not scheduled to be back in service until late 1995. The MidSouth merger is strategically important in reducing KCSR's dependence on coal traffic. MidSouth derived only minimal revenues from coal. On a stand alone basis, KCSR coal revenues represented 30% of total revenues in 1993. However, when combined with MidSouth revenues since the June 1993 acquisition, the percentage of coal revenues to total combined freight revenues has been reduced to 23% for 1994. Conversely, MidSouth's primary commodity traffic was in the pulp/paper and forest products area, which allows KCSR to complement its revenues in that industry. Gross revenue from unit coal traffic aggregated $102, $106 and $106 million, in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Certain coal transportation contracts contain "take or pay" and volume discount clauses. Revenue from Southwestern Electric Power Company ("SWEPCO"), operator of two electric generating facilities served under long-term contracts by KCSR, continues to represent the greatest portion of coal revenues. KCSR serves the petroleum and chemicals industry, via refineries located in the Gulf states of Texas and Louisiana, through tank and hopper car service primarily to markets in the Southeast and Northeast through interchange with other rail carriers. Petroleum and chemical products as a combined group represent the largest commodity to KCSR in terms of revenues. KCSR provides rail transportation of chemical products, primarily vinyl chloride used in the production of polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") materials, as well as other chemical products, some used in paper production to customers primarily in the Mississippi and Alabama areas. These products are shipped via rail interchange to many destinations throughout the United States. As part of serving the petroleum and chemicals industry, KCSR transports hazardous materials and has a Shreveport, Louisiana based hazardous materials emergency team available to handle environmental problems which might occur in the transport of such materials. KCSR serves eleven paper mills directly and seven others indirectly through short-line connections. International Paper Co. at South Texarkana, Texas and Georgia Pacific at Ashdown, Arkansas, both served by KCSR, have completed plant expansions in recent years which increases their operating capacity. Paper/pulp and primary forest products represent the largest component of KCSR Eastern Division revenue carloadings. KCSR provides transportation of pulpwood, woodchips, poles and raw fiber used in the production of paper, pulp and paperboard. KCSR also serves as the first leg of rail transportation throughout the United States for finished paper products from major manufacturers such as, International Paper, Riverwood International Corporation, Stone Container and Packaging Corporation of America. By combining KCSR and MidSouth, KCSR is now the third largest railroad in terms of pulp and paper carload originations in the U.S. KCSR's geographic location provides a stable market due to the abundance and fast growth of timber in the area. [Page 10] KCSR farm products carloadings decreased 12% in 1994, due principally to a reduction in the export grain market. This trend, which was experienced throughout the rail industry, came as a result of reduced crop sizes as an aftermath of damage sustained in the flood of 1993. Domestic grain shipments are transported from the grain producing states of Iowa and Nebraska southward to poultry feed mills served by KCSR in the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas. Consumer demand for poultry consumption remains constant thereby generating demand for feed grains delivered by KCSR. During 1994 KCSR experienced a 46% increase in intermodal ("TOFC/COFC") traffic. Most of the increase occurred on KCSR's predominantly North/South rail line, especially between Dallas and Kansas City. A small amount of the increase is due to the availability of reliable and effective East/West service from Dallas, Texas, to Atlanta, Georgia. KCSR is better able to provide this new service as a result of the capital improvement program largely completed on the Eastern Division and the acquisition of the Zacha Junction intermodal facility in Dallas, both previously discussed. In November of 1994, KCSR began through train intermodal service between Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, in conjunction with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. In addition, KCSR has entered into agreements with several over the road trucking companies to move intermodal trailers on both its East/West and North/South routes. KCSR continued to implement its roadway capital improvement program to provide safer commodity movements. This long-term capital improvements project is designed to improve the integrity and quality of service to KCSR customers. The MidSouth acquisition required the Registrant to complete a capital improvement program for MidSouth roadbed, locomotives and facilities. This program upgraded and expanded MidSouth's track to handle greater traffic levels at higher train speeds. The KCSR marketing department has primary responsibility for developing transportation business and is supported by field sales offices at various locations throughout the United States. Heavy emphasis is placed on providing the highest quality of transportation service and on servicing the current needs of customers and also on the promotion of additional growth through efforts to locate industrial and manufacturing companies in the KCSR service area. Other wholly-owned subsidiaries comprising the Transportation Services industry segment include Trans-Serve, Inc.; Carland, Inc.; Southern Leasing Corporation; Pabtex, Inc.; Rice-Carden Corporation; Tolmak, Inc.; Southern Development Company and Mid-South Microwave, Inc. Trans-Serve, Inc. owns and operates a railroad wood tie treating facility in Vivian, Louisiana and a vehicle fleet maintenance operation for the KCSR Engineering, Mechanical and Transportation department vehicles, with locations in Shreveport, Louisiana, Pittsburg, Kansas and Heavener, Oklahoma. Carland, Inc., a subsidiary of Southern Credit Corporation, headquartered in Kansas City, leases various types of equipment including railroad rolling stock, roadway maintenance equipment and vehicles. KCSR is the principal customer of Trans-Serve and Carland. Southern Leasing Corporation, a subsidiary of Southern Credit Corporation, is involved in finance leasing and other forms of secured financing, generally for equipment acquisition by small to medium sized businesses. Pabtex, Inc. ("Pabtex") owns and operates a bulk materials handling facility which stores and transfers coal and petroleum coke from trucks and rail cars to ships and barges primarily for export. This facility, located in Port Arthur, Texas, with deep water access to the Gulf of Mexico, is served on an inbound basis by KCSR and independent truckers. In 1992, the Registrant purchased 530 acres of land adjacent to the Registrant's Pabtex coal and petroleum coke storage, barge and ship loading facility in Port Arthur, Texas. The 530 acres includes 4,000 linear feet of deep water frontage on the Sabine- Neches Waterway, which has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Intercoastal Waterway. This acquisition increases the Transportation Services [Page 11] deep water access in the Port Arthur, Texas area and will permit capacity expansion of the Pabtex coal and coke facility and development of additional port operations in KCSR's service area. The Registrant currently owns 1,025 acres of property located on the waterfront in the Port Arthur, Texas area, which includes approximately 22,000 linear feet of deep water frontage and three docks. Port Arthur is an uncongested port with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 75% of this property is available for development. Mid-South Microwave, Inc. owns and leases a 1,600 mile industrial frequency microwave transmission system, which is the primary communications facility used by KCSR. Rice-Carden Corporation and Tolmak, Inc. both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Registrant and both headquartered in Kansas City, own and operate various industrial real estate and spur rail trackage contiguous to the KCSR right of way. These properties are leased to various industrial businesses, many of whom are serviced by KCSR. Southern Development Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, owns and operates the headquarters building of the Registrant and KCSR located in Downtown Kansas City. Southern Development leases a substantial portion of the building to KCSR for its executive, financial, marketing, operating and engineering departments. Regulatory Influence. Transportation operations are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC"), various state reg- ulatory agencies, the Department of Transportation ("DOT") and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"). The ICC has jurisdiction over interstate rates charged, routes, service, issuance or guarantee of securities, extension or abandonment of rail lines, and consolidation, merger or acquisition of control of rail common carriers. State agencies regulate some aspects of rail operations with respect to health and safety and in some instances intrastate freight rates. The DOT and OSHA have jurisdiction over certain health and safety features of railroad operations. In addition, railway operations are subject to extensive regulation under environmental protection laws concerning, among other things, discharges to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and other materials, where environmental risks are inherent. KCSR and some of the Registrant's other subsidiaries land holdings have been used for industrial purposes or leased to commercial and industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto the property. Accordingly, the Registrant and its subsidiaries may become subject from time to time to environmental clean-up and enforcement actions. In particular, the Registrant is subject to regulatory legislation such as; the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "superfund law"; the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"); the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the "Clean Water Act" and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act ("HAZMAT"). This legislation generally imposes joint and several liability for clean up and enforcement costs, without regard to fault or legality of the original conduct, on current and predecessor owners and operators of a site. The discharge of hazardous materials or contamination of property by hazardous materials may arise from the transportation, production, storage, use and disposal of such materials by rail operations. Normal rail transportation operations may result in hazards and expose the Registrant to claims and potential liability for injuries to employees, other persons, property and the environment. Registrant management does not foresee that compliance with the requirements imposed by these agencies' standards under present statutes will impair its competitive capability or result in any material additional operating or maintenance costs. KCSR continued to implement extensive safety programs during 1994 designed to reduce employee injuries through promotion of a safe work environment. The Registrant expects these programs will exceed safety requirements of the various regulatory agencies governing transportation operations. [Page 12] Railroad Industry Trends and Competition. In 1994, and continuing into 1995, the railroad industry displayed signs of ongoing consolidation. Specifically, Burlington Northern Industries ("BNI") the parent company of the Burlington Northern Railroad and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation ("SFP") the parent company of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway have announced plans whereby BNI would acquire SFP. KCSR competes with both of these railroads in its marketplace. In March 1995, Union Pacific Railroad ("UP") and Chicago and North Western Transportation Company ("CNW") announced that they have agreed that UP would acquire 100% of CNW's common stock. KCSR is in direct competition with the UP for certain freight traffic moving between Kansas City and Gulf Ports served by KCSR. Since these transactions are not complete, the Registrant cannot predict their outcome or effect on KCSR. KCSR, in conjunction with SFP, also competes with the Southern Pacific Transportation Company ("SP") for certain transcontinental freight traffic in the Dallas-New Orleans corridor. In 1988, the UP and KCSR signed a haulage and trackage rights agreement which facilitated and supported the acquisition of control of the Missouri-Kansas- Texas Railroad Company ("MKT") by the UP. This agreement gave KCSR haulage rights between Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Topeka and Atchison, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. KCSR also received haulage rights over UP tracks between Beaumont, Houston and Galveston, Texas. Under this haulage rights agreement, UP is required to move KCSR traffic in UP trains. Under the trackage rights, KCSR is allowed to operate its own trains over UP tracks. The "rights" between Beaumont, Houston and Galveston, Texas are restricted to transporting grain and grain products. However, the "North end rights" between Kansas City, Missouri and Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska; Council Bluffs, Iowa and Atchison and Topeka, Kansas are unrestricted. These "rights" enable KCSR to be more competitive, particularly in feed grains, with the UP and Burlington Northern railroads in both the Gulf port and domestic transportation corridors. KCSR has made extensive use of these haulage rights with the UP in accessing the corn belt states of Nebraska and Iowa. During 1993, the ICC ruled that it had jurisdiction regarding the UP acquisition of certain voting stock of CNW Holding Corp., ("CNW") a holding company for the Chicago North Western Railroad. UP was required by the ICC to submit evidence regarding marketing and operating coordination and related public benefits which UP alleged will stem from the CNW transaction. The Registrant filed a responsive application with the ICC supporting protective conditions designed to upgrade current haulage rights to Omaha/Council Bluffs and provide direct access, by way of additional haulage and local gathering rights to CNW grain origins in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. In 1994, the Registrant received upgrades to its haulage rights. The ICC also granted the UP voting rights for its CNW stock. In addition to competition within the railroad industry, highway carriers compete with KCSR throughout its territory. An example of this is the East/West intermodal business between Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, which competes directly with truckers along the Interstate 20 corridor. Since deregulation of the railroad industry, competition has resulted in extensive downward pressure on freight rates. Truck carriers have eroded the railroad industry's share of total transportation revenues. However, rail carriers, including KCSR have, in recent years, placed a greater effort towards competing in the intermodal marketplace. Rail carriers are working together to provide end-to-end transportation of products and forming working partnerships with truck carriers in an effort to recapture market share. In some cases, additions to box car fleets and upgrade of existing box car equipment are underway to attract new business. Mississippi and Missouri River barge traffic also compete with KCSR in the transportation of bulk commodities such as grains, steel, aluminum and petroleum products. Labor Relations. Approximately 85% of the KCSR's employees are covered under collective bargaining agreements. The current agreements, executed in 1992, included implementation of productivity improvements and cost sharing of health care premiums with contract employees. These agreements, with the exception of that with the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") were reopened for negotiation in November 1994. The [Page 13] IAM contract is eligible for renegotiation in 1995. KCSR, along with most other Class I Railroads, has designated the National Railway Labor Conference as its agent for collective bargaining purposes. Bargaining is governed by the Railway Labor Act of 1926. The railroads are negotiating for "national handling" i.e. with the railroads as a collective entity and each national union as a bargaining entity. National handling has prevailed in the industry in every round since the mid-1930's. Management believes relations with collective bargaining employees are good. [Page 14] Information & Transaction Processing DST Systems, Inc. General Description of the Business. DST Systems, Inc., formed in 1968, together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures (principally The Continuum Company, Inc., Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., Investors Fiduciary Trust Company (prior to its sale, discussed earlier), Argus Health Systems, Inc., Midland Data Services, Inc. and Midland Loan Services L.P.), designs, maintains and operates proprietary on-line shareowner accounting and record keeping data processing systems, primarily for mutual funds and financial services institutions and insurance companies. Historically, the majority of DST's revenue has been derived from full-service and remote-service record keeping for the mutual fund industry. The growth of the mutual fund industry is a major contributor to the substantial increase in revenues of DST. Currently, DST's growth results from an increase in both existing and new mutual fund customers as well as acquisitions and expansion of existing business lines and products. Output Technologies, Inc. ("OTI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DST, was formed in early 1991 as a holding company for DST's business' involved in the financial printing, mailing, output processing and related business lines. During 1993, OTI completed the internal reorganization of its subsidiaries, which included renaming of subsidiaries and merging of certain operations. The overall objective of the internal reorganization was a consolidation of output related activities, identification of businesses with the OTI name and alignment into geographic operating regions. Included under OTI are its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Output Technologies Central Region, Inc.; formerly United Micrographics Systems, Inc. and Network Graphics, Inc., which process computer output microfilm and microfiche, and printing and mailing of specialized laser printing output and perform graphics design services; Output Technologies SRI Group, Inc., formerly Support Resources, Inc. and Output Technologies Eastern Region, Inc., formerly Mail Processing Systems, Inc. provide laser printing and mailing of value-added customer information; Output Technologies of Illinois, Inc., was formed in 1992 and performs telemarketing and fulfillment services; Output Technologies Phoenix Litho Group, Inc., formerly Phoenix Litho, Inc., performs commercial printing services, and Output Technologies Vital Records Storage Group, Inc., formerly Data Retrieval Services, which performs vital records storage. Effective September 30, 1993, DST completed the merger of Vantage Computer Systems, Inc. ("Vantage") into a subsidiary of The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum"). Vantage, a 90.5% owned subsidiary, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Vantage P&C Systems, Inc., provides record keeping services and custom designed software packages to the life and property/casualty insurance industries. As a result of this transaction and additional Continuum stock purchases made by DST in January 1994, DST owned approximately 29% of Continuum's outstanding common stock at December 31, 1994. The Vantage/Continuum transaction allows DST to expand its presence in the information processing market for the insurance industry and combines the strengths of both Vantage and Continuum. Prior to the merger, Vantage's business was primarily centered in the U.S. domestic market while Continuum has a significant international and domestic presence. Subsequent to this transaction, DST assumed all of the North American operations data processing functions for Continuum. DST and Continuum signed an agreement whereby DST has made available the capabilities of the Winchester Data Center for Continuum processing requirements. Concurrent with the Continuum/Vantage merger, DST and Continuum reached a license agreement, whereby Continuum markets AWD for use in insurance industry applications. DST also engages, directly and through its affiliates, in trust accounting, security clearing services, portfolio accounting for investment fund managers, asset management administration, commercial loan servicing, broker-dealer services, pharmaceutical claim processing and processing for the insurance industry through Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., Midland Data Systems, Inc., Midland Loan Services, L.P., First [Page 15] of Michigan Capital Corporation, Argus Health Systems, Inc., Clarke & Tilley Data Services, Ltd., and The Continuum Company, Inc. in which DST is either a joint venture partner or investor. These affiliates are further described below: The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum"), a publicly held company, approximately 29% owned by DST, is an international consulting and computer services firm based in Austin, Texas, serving the needs of life insurance, property and casualty insurance and other financial services companies for computer software and services. Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), a 50% joint venture previously owned with Kemper Financial Services, Inc., is incorporated under the banking laws of Missouri and provides fiduciary and other custodial services to its clients. IFTC serves as trustee for unit trusts, tax deferred retirement and compensation plans, including IRAs, Keogh Plans and other deferred compensation plans offered by DST's clients. IFTC also serves as transfer agent and custodian for several mutual funds and sponsors a federally insured money market deposit account. As described earlier, DST exchanged its ownership in IFTC for shares in State Street Boston Corporation in January 1995. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. ("BFDS"), a Boston based 50% joint venture between DST and State Street Boston Corporation, performs full service transfer agency functions for open and closed end mutual funds and corporations using DST's proprietary software on a remote basis through telecommunication transmissions with DST's computer facility located in Kansas City. Midland Data Systems, Inc. and Midland Loan Services, L.P. (collectively "Midland") 45% owned joint ventures provide comprehensive commercial loan servicing for assets, both performing and non-performing loans and related asset management services for governmental and institutional clients. First of Michigan Capital Corporation, ("FOM"), a publicly held company, 21% owned by DST, provides full service retail securities brokerage services and maintains several offices throughout the State of Michigan. Argus Health Systems, Inc., ("Argus"), a 50% joint venture owned with Financial Holding Corporation provides pharmaceutical claim insurance processing services for several health care providers through a data base network. Clarke & Tilley Data Services, Ltd., a United Kingdom entity 50% owned by DST, is developing a unit trust accounting system for the U.K. and Luxembourg markets. Product Base and Competitive Influence. DST's reputation is based largely on service, ability to handle volume increases, commitment to software development and, to a lesser degree, price. The advantages of DST include its experience in providing service to the markets it serves, the number and size of its clients, its use of centralized data processing facilities which enables it to achieve economies of scale, the breadth of services it and its joint ventures offer, and the reputations of its joint venture partners. In addition, DST's systems are complex, having been enhanced over a number of years to provide a high quality service and to meet changing regulatory and user requirements. The complex nature of the business, the software systems and the significant resource base needed to operate and/or duplicate such systems make it difficult for new firms to enter these markets. Although market entry by new firms may be difficult, several strong competitors in DST's marketplace do exist. In recent years, the competitive environment for shareowners processing has changed as several major bank competitors exited from direct participation in the shareowner processing business. The balance of these accounts were absorbed by DST or its competitors. A further review of competitive factors for DST's principal product lines follows: Mutual Fund Shareowners Accounting System: Certain competitors provide remote processing services or engage in software sales. DST also considers [Page 16] in-house systems as a competitive alternative. DST does not ordinarily offer its software for sale; therefore, when customers purchase software, they do so as an alternative to DST's remote processing or full-service product offerings. The Shareholder Services Group ("TSSG"), a unit of First Data Resources, Sungard Data Systems Inc., Oppenheimer Industries, Provident National Bank and U.S. Trust are the primary competitors for full-service and remote processing. Oppenheimer Industries is the primary competitor for systems sales. DST currently processes approximately one- third of all United States mutual fund shareowner accounts. DST and its affiliates also provide a full-service product by acting in the capacity of a transfer agent either through direct appointment or subcontract. DST's primary full service competitor is TSSG. Securities Transfer and Portfolio Accounting Systems: DST's Securities Transfer System competes with in-house systems and independent vendors, some of whom supply clerical support in connection with their software sys- tems. The Portfolio Accounting System competes primarily with in-house systems and systems offered by certain banks in conjunction with their custodial services. Banks and thrift institutions in competition with DST may have an advantage by considering the value of their client's funds on deposit when pricing their services. Moreover, such banks or thrift institutions generally have much greater financial resources available to them than DST. DST's 1993 acquisitions of Belvedere Financial Systems, Inc. ("Belvedere") and Clarke & Tilley, both of which develop and market portfolio accounting and investment management systems, expands DST's portfolio accounting opportunities. Belvedere's system will provide a common platform for DST future portfolio growth in both domestic and international markets. Building on its strength as a technology company, DST has developed and marketed an advanced work management system, called Automated Work Distributor TM ("AWD "), since 1990. AWD converts paper based and electronic transactions to work items that are automatically routed throughout an enterprise. The complete complement of AWD products offers a comprehensive solution to customer service problems in organizations with large clerical operations. It is installed in mutual fund, insurance, banking, and health care organizations and has proven its scallability and adaptability. In 1993, DST entered into an agreement with Continuum allowing Continuum to market AWD to its clients in the insurance industry. International Market Expansion: In 1991, DST began evaluating the feasibility of marketing its products outside the United States and also products that would serve foreign markets in DST's product lines. In 1992, DST, together with State Street Bank and Clarke and Tilley, Ltd. (a United Kingdom software firm), formed Clarke and Tilley Data Services ("CTDS"). CTDS is developing a unit trust accounting system for the U.K. and Luxembourg markets, incorporating DST workflow management, image technology and unit trust software. During 1993, DST completed the acquisition of Clarke & Tilley Ltd., (100% owned), which markets investment management software primarily for use in Europe and the Pacific Rim and Corfax Benefit Systems, Ltd., (100% owned), a Canadian company, which processes shareowner transactions for mutual funds and pension accounts in Canada. This international expansion provides DST with a base of products which are multi-currency, as well as multi-platform, and creates avenues for greater market penetration of DST's U.S. products into international channels. Through these subsidiaries, sales and development offices currently reside in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Australia and South Africa. DST foresees opportunities for further growth and expansion in international markets. The financial institutions served by DST, both mutual fund and insurance, will continue to evaluate whether to internalize or outsource their technology needs. This process will have both positive and negative effects on DST's results; however, on an overall basis, DST's customer base is expected to grow. [Page 17] DST's mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced rose in 1994 to end the year at an all time high of 32.1 million accounts. In 1993, Kemper Financial Services ("Kemper"), a DST customer, began conversion of its mutual fund shareowner processing from the DST system. In early July 1993, 500,000 Kemper accounts were converted from the DST system. The loss of 500,000 Kemper accounts in 1993 was offset by account growth from other mutual fund customers and, accordingly, did not have a material financial impact. As a result of the Kemper transactions, discussed earlier, DST expects to continue to process the Kemper accounts. Mutual fund shareowner accounts had also risen in 1992 even through weighted average monthly billable accounts lagged 1991 averages. Financial Asset Management General Description of the Business, Product Base, and Competitive Influences Janus Capital Corporation. Janus Capital Corporation, headquartered in Denver, Colorado and 83% owned by the Registrant, provides investment advisory and management services to the Janus and IDEX equity mutual fund groups, investment management services for individuals and institutions including large pension and profit sharing plans. Janus experienced moderate growth during 1994 in terms of assets under management. Assets under management increased from $22.2 billion at December 31, 1993 to $22.9 billion at December 31, 1994 while total shareholder accounts remained stable at 2 million in 1994. This growth is largely attributable to successful marketing programs, favorable performance of selected Janus no-load and IDEX load funds compared to the market as a whole, and general growth in the mutual fund marketplace, especially during the first half of 1994. Janus experiences competition in the form of alternative investment vehicles, which may offer competitive investment returns and similar or different investment objectives when compared to Janus. These alternatives have typically been other mutual funds, certificates of deposit, money market accounts and individual stocks and bonds. Janus management continues to offer a variety of investment products. While Janus has historically been a primarily equity based fund group, management has sought to build a base of fixed income products. In 1994, Janus introduced two new products, Janus Overseas, a new international equity mutual fund, and Janus International, an expansion of the Aspen series. During 1993, Janus introduced three new fund products; Janus Mercury Fund, an equity fund; Janus Federal Tax Exempt Fund, a federal tax exempt income fund; and the Janus Aspen Series, which are variable annuity products. During 1992, Janus introduced three new mutual funds, Janus Enterprise Fund, an equity fund; Janus Balanced Fund, a combination equity/fixed income fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund, a fixed income fund. Berger Associates, Inc. Berger Associates, Inc., headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and 80% owned by the Registrant, provides investment advisory and management services to the Berger Funds and to private and other accounts. As disclosed earlier, the Registrant increased its ownership percentage from approximately 18% to over 80% on October 14, 1994. During 1994, Berger introduced a new equity fund, the Berger Small Company Growth Fund. Berger had substantial growth in 1994 in both assets under management and shareholder accounts. Assets under management increased 56% ($1.1 billion) to $3 billion at December 31, 1994, from $1.9 billion at December 31, 1993. Shareholders increased from 202,000 at December 31, 1993 to 380,000 at December 31, 1994. Assets under management increased from $.9 billion at December 31, 1992 to $1.9 billion at December 31, 1993. Shareholders increased from 90,000 at December 31, 1992 to 202,000 at December 31, 1993. This growth is largely attributable to successful marketing programs, a favorable performance of Berger funds compared to the overall market, the introduction of the Small Company Growth fund, and general growth in the mutual fund marketplace. Berger has competition primarily in the form of alternative investment vehicles, including other mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts. [Page 18] Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income increases are a direct result of increases in assets under management. Assets under management have grown in recent years from a combination of new money investments or fund sales and market appreciation. Fund sales have risen in response to marketing efforts, favorable fund performance and the current popularity of no-load mutual funds. Market appreciation has resulted from increases in stock investment values. However, a decline in stock and bond markets and/or an increase in the rate of return of alternative investments could negatively impact Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income. In addition, mutual funds, in general, face increasing competition as the number of mutual funds continues to increase, marketing and distribution channels become more creative and complex, and investors place greater emphasis on published fund recommendations and investment category rankings. These factors could also affect Financial Asset Management and negatively impact revenues and operating income. Operating expenses are expected to increase as assets and service requirements grow. Regulatory Influence. Financial Asset Management businesses are subject to a variety of regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, individual state Blue Sky laws, the National Association of Securities Dealers and various other state regulatory agencies. Management does not foresee that compliance with these various requirements will have a material impact upon operations. Eliminations, Corporate & Other This industry segment is comprised of passive investments, and the general administrative and corporate operations of the Registrant. [Page 19] Item 2.

In 1994, DST has undertaken an expansion of the Winchester Data Center which, when completed in 1995, will provide an additional 83,000 square feet. DST master-leases three downtown Kansas City office buildings consisting of approximately 353,000 square feet in which DST or its affiliates occupy approximately 312,000 square feet and the balance is leased to non-affiliated tenants. This space is utilized by DST for its shareholder operations, systems development and other support functions.

Legal Proceedings SWEPCO Litigation. As was previously disclosed in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, KCSR was a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Bowie County, Texas by Southwestern Electric Power Company ("SWEPCO"). In that case, SWEPCO alleged that KCSR was required to reduce SWEPCO's coal transportation rate due to changed circumstances allegedly creating a "gross inequity" under the provisions of the coal transportation contract existing among SWEPCO, KCSR and the Burlington Northern Railroad. SWEPCO is KCSR's largest single customer. KCSR and SWEPCO have settled this litigation and the case against KCSR has been dismissed. This matter was concluded without material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Registrant. Environmental Matters. KCSR is a participant in certain federal and state environmental matters as follows: In the Ilada Superfund Site East Cape Girardeau, Ill., KCSR was cited for furnishing one carload of used oil to this petroleum recycling facility. Counsel advises that KCSR's liability, if any, should fall within the "de minimus" provisions of the Superfund law, representing minimal exposure. Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, Docket No. IE-0-91-0001, is a proceeding involving the alleged contamination of Capitol Lake, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This proceeding also names KCSR as a party due to its ownership of part of the lake bottom. During 1994, the list of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRP's) was significantly expanded to include the State of Louisiana, the City and Parish of Baton Rouge and the U.S. Army Reserve Center, among others. Studies commissioned by KCSR indicate that contaminants contained in the lake were not generated by KCSR. Management and counsel do not believe this proceeding will have a material effect on the Registrant. Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, Docket No. IAS 88-0001-A, The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality named KCSR in a state environmental proceeding involving contaminated land near Bossier City, Louisiana, which was the site of a wood preservative treatment plant (Lincoln Creosoting). KCSR is a former owner of part of the land in question. This matter was the subject of a trial in the United States District Court in Shreveport, Louisiana which was concluded in July of 1993. The Court found that Joslyn Manufacturing Company, an operator of the plant, was and is required to indemnify KCSR for damages arising out of plant operations. (KCSR's potential liability is as a property owner rather than as a generator or transporter of contaminants.) The case was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which court affirmed the District Court's ruling in favor of KCSR. In early 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") added the Lincoln Creosoting site to its Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Act ("CERCLA", also known as the superfund law) national priority list. Since major remedial work has been performed at this site by Joslyn and KCSR has been held by the Federal District and Appeals Courts to be entitled to indemnity for such costs, it would appear that KCSR should not incur significant remedial liability. At this time, it is not possible to evaluate the potential consequences of remediation at the site. Litigation Reserves. In the opinion of the Registrant, claims or lawsuits incidental to the business of the Registrant and its subsidiaries have been adequately provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Dehner, an individual ("Executive"). WHEREAS, Executive is now employed by Railway, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCSI, and Railway, KCSI and Executive desire for Railway to continue to employ Executive on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to provide an incentive to Executive to remain in the employ of Railway hereafter, particularly in the event of any Change in Control of KCSI (as herein defined), thereby establishing and preserving continuity of management of Railway; WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith KCSI has granted Executive stock options to acquire shares of KCSI common stock, and KCSI desires to encourage significant long-term ownership of KCSI common stock by Executive through the grant of such options and the award of Restricted Stock as provided herein; and WHEREAS, Executive intends to retain ownership of a substantial portion of the shares of KCSI common stock acquired as Restricted Stock or through exercise of stock options granted on or after the date hereof, and KCSI intends to make future awards under its equity participation programs to executives who have retained ownership of a substantial portion of their shares of KCSI common stock. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the grant of stock options to Executive, the award of Restricted Stock as provided herein and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed by and between Railway, KCSI and Executive as follows: 1. Employment. Railway hereby continues the employment of Executive as its Senior Vice President to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors of Railway (the "Railway Board") and to have such duties, powers and responsibilities as may be prescribed or delegated from time to time by the President or other officer to whom Executive reports, subject to the powers vested in the Railway Board and in the stockholder of Railway. Executive shall faithfully perform his duties under this Agreement to the best of his ability and shall devote substantially all of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of Railway and its affiliates. 2. Compensation. (a) Base Compensation. Railway shall pay Executive as compensation for his services hereunder an annual base salary at the rate in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement, subject to adjustment from time to time as agreed by the parties. (b) Incentive Compensation. During the time that Railway continues to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCSI, Railway shall include Executive as a participant in the KCSI Incentive Compensation Plan under such terms as are determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of KCSI (the "KCSI Board") or the Compensation Committee or other appropriate committee of the KCSI Board (the "Compensation Committee") and for such time as such plan shall continue in existence. KCSI reserves the right to change, revoke or terminate such plan at any time. (c) Restricted Stock. As additional compensation for his services hereunder, Executive has been awarded, as of the date hereof, three thousand (3,000) shares of common stock (the "Restricted Stock") of KCSI, without the payment of any further consideration therefor by Executive. Commencing on the date hereof, Executive shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including without limitation rights to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions and adjustments on such shares, and such shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable shares subject to the following restrictions: (i) In the event Executive's employment hereunder is terminated for cause by Railway (as defined in Paragraph 4(c) below), or terminated voluntarily by Executive (other than upon material breach by Railway pursuant to Paragraph 4 (a)) prior to the end of any period set forth below, all rights of Executive in and to the number of shares of Restricted Stock set forth below corresponding to the first end of period following such termination shall be thereupon forfeited and Executive shall immediately upon such termination transfer all such shares (or an equivalent number of other shares of KCSI common stock) to KCSI without any payment or other consideration to Executive: End of Period Number of Shares Forfeited March 31, 1993 3,000 March 31, 1994 2,400 March 31, 1995 1,800 March 31, 1996 1,200 March 31, 1997 600
The termination of Executive's employment by reason of retirement with the consent of the Railway Board, death or disability shall not be considered a voluntary termination of employment by Executive. (ii) Executive shall not transfer any of the shares of Restricted Stock which remain subject to forfeiture hereunder, other than to KCSI, except with the prior approval of the KCSI Board or Compensation Committee. In the event of termination of Executive's employment by Railway other than for cause or by reason of retirement with the consent of the Railway Board, death or disability, the Restricted Stock shall no longer be subject to forfeiture hereunder. (iii) The issuance of the Restricted Stock to Executive hereunder is subject to any required federal, state and local withholding taxes, which shall be paid in cash by Executive, and has not been registered under federal or state securities laws. Executive represents that he is acquiring the Restricted Stock for investment and not with a view to distribution thereof. (iv) Until they are no longer subject to forfeiture hereunder, each certificate for shares of Restricted Stock issued to Executive hereunder shall bear a legend, to the following effect: "The shares represented hereby are subject to transfer restrictions and forfeiture provisions under an Agreement dated April 1, 1992 on file at the offices of the Company. These shares may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred other than to the Company, except in compliance with the provisions of such Agreement." If any shares of Restricted Stock are transferred to KCSI to acquire other shares of KCSI common stock, the foregoing legend shall apply to the number of shares acquired as is equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock transferred to KCSI and shall be affixed to the appropriate stock certificate or certificates. KCSI shall remove the foregoing legend at the Executive's request with respect to certificates for any shares of Restricted Stock which shall no longer be subject to forfeiture hereunder. (v) Unless the shares of Restricted Stock are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws (which registration may be performed by KCSI at its option), each certificate for shares of Restricted Stock issued to Executive hereunder shall bear a legend as follows: "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under any state securities law. These shares may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred, other than to the Company, in the absence of said registration or the availability of an exemption therefrom. No offer, sale, pledge or other transfer shall take place without submitting to the Company evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Company to the effect that such transaction does not violate the restrictions set forth herein." 3. Benefits. During the period of his employment hereunder, Railway shall provide Executive with coverage under such benefit plans and programs as are made generally available to executives serving in the Office of the Chief Executive of Railway, provided (a) railway shall have no obligation with respect to any plan or program if Executive is not eligible for coverage thereunder, and (b) Executive acknowledges that stock options and other stock and equity participation awards are granted in the discretion of the KCSI Board or Compensation Committee and that Executive has no right to receive stock options or other equity participation awards or any particular number or level of stock options or other awards. Executive acknowledges that all rights and benefits under benefit plans and programs shall be governed by the official text of each such plan or program and not by any summary or description thereof or any provision of this Agreement and that Railway is under no obligation to continue in effect or to fund any such plan or program, except as provided in Paragraph 7 hereof. Railway also shall continue to reimburse Executive for ordinary and necessary travel and other business expenses in accordance with policies and procedures established by Railway. 4. Termination. (a) Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate this Agreement and his employment hereunder by at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Railway, except that in the event of any material breach of this Agreement by Railway, Executive may terminate this Agreement and his employment hereunder immediately upon notice to Railway. (b) Death or Disability. This Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate automatically on the death or disability of Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to be disabled if he is unable to engage in a significant portion of his normal duties for Railway by reason of any physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months. (c) Termination by Railway For Cause. Railway may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment "for cause" immediately upon notice to Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, termination "for cause" shall mean termination based upon any one or more of the following: (i) Any material breach of this Agreement by Executive; (ii) Executive's dishonesty involving Railway, KCSI or any subsidiary of Railway or KCSI; (iii) Gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of Executive's duties as determined in good faith by the Railway Board; (iv) Willful failure by Executive to follow reasonable instructions of the President or other officer to whom Executive reports concerning the operations or business of Railway or any subsidiary of Railway; (v) Executive's fraud or criminal activity; or (vi) Embezzlement or misappropriation by Executive. (d) Termination by Railway Other Than For Cause. (i) Railway may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment other than for cause immediately upon notice to Executive, and in such event, Railway shall provide severance benefits to Executive in accordance with Paragraph 4 (d) (ii) below. (ii) In the event of termination of Executive's employment under Paragraph 4 (d)(i), Railway shall continue, for a period of twelve (12) months following such termination, (A) to pay to Executive as severance pay a monthly amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual base salary referenced in Paragraph 2(a) above at the rate in effect immediately prior to termination, and, (B) to reimburse Executive for the cost (including state and federal income taxes payable with respect to this reimbursement) of obtaining coverage comparable to the health and life insurance provided pursuant to this Agreement, unless Executive is provided comparable coverage in connection with other employment. The foregoing obligations of Railway shall continue until the end of the said twelve (12) month period notwithstanding the death or disability of Executive during said period (except, in the event of death, the obligation to reimburse Executive for the cost of life insurance shall not continue). After termination of employment, Executive shall not be entitled to accrue or receive benefits under the KCSI Executive Plan or the KCSI Incentive Compensation Plan with respect to the severance pay provided herein, notwithstanding that benefits under such plans then are still generally available to executive employees of Railway; contributions and benefits under such plans with respect to the year of termination shall be based solely upon compensation paid to Executive for periods prior to termination. In the year of termination, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the KCSI Profit Sharing Plan and the KCSI Employee Stock Ownership Plan (if Railway employees then still participate in such plans) only if the Executive meets all requirements of such plans for participation in such year. 5. Non-Disclosure. During the term of this Agreement and at all times after any termination of this Agreement, Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, use or disclose any Railway trade secret, except to the extent necessary for Executive to perform his duties for Railway while an employee. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Railway trade secret" shall mean any information regarding the business or activities of Railway or any subsidiary or affiliate, including any formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, process, customer list, technical information or other confidential or proprietary information, that (a) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (b) is the subject of efforts of Railway or its subsidiary or affiliate that are reasonable under the circumstance to maintain its secrecy. In the event of any breach of this Paragraph 5 by Executive, Railway shall be entitled to terminate any and all remaining severance benefits under Paragraph 4(d)(ii) above and shall be entitled to pursue such other legal and equitable remedies as may be available. 6. Duties Upon Termination: Survival. (a) Duties. Upon termination of this Agreement by Railway or Executive for any reason, Executive shall immediately return to Railway all Railway trade secrets which exist in tangible form and shall sign such written resignations from all positions as an officer, director or member of any committee or board of Railway and all direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates of Railway as may be requested by Railway and shall sign such other documents and papers relating to Executive's employment, benefits and benefit plans as Railway may reasonably request. (b) Survival. The provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6(a) of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement by Railway or Executive, and the provisions of Paragraph 4(d)(ii) shall survive any termination of this Agreement by Railway under Paragraph 4(d)(i). 7. Continuation of Employment Upon Change in Control. (a) Continuation of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 7, in the event of a Change in Control of KCSI (as defined in Paragraph 7(d)) at any time during the term of this Agreement, Executive will remain in the employ of Railway for a period of an additional three years from the date of such Change in Control of KCSI (the "Control Change Date"). In the event of a Change in Control of KCSI, subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 7, Railway shall, for the three year period (the "Three-Year Period") immediately following the Control Change Date, continue to employ Executive at not less than the executive capacity Executive held immediately prior to the Change in Control of KCSI. During the Three-Year Period, Railway shall continue to pay Executive salary on the same basis, at the same intervals, and at a rate not less than that, paid to Executive at the Control Change Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall apply only if at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding stock of all classes of Railway is owned by KCSI on the Control Change Date. (b) Benefits. During the Three-Year Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate, on the basis of his executive position, in each of the following plans (together, the "Specified Benefits") in existence, and in accordance with the terms thereof, at the Control Change Date: (i) any incentive compensation plan; (ii) any benefit plan, and trust fund associated therewith, related to (A) life, health, dental, disability, or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, (B) profit sharing, thrift or deferred savings (including deferred compensation, such as under Sec. 401(k) plans), (C) retirement or pension benefits, (D) ERISA excess benefits and (E) tax favored employee stock ownership (such as under ESOP, TRASOP, TCESO or PAYSOP programs); and (iii) any other benefit plans hereafter made generally available to executives of Executive's level or to the employees of Railway generally. In addition, all outstanding options held by Executive under any stock option plan of KCSI or its affiliates shall become immediately exercisable, and all shares of Restricted Stock shall no longer be subject to forfeiture under Paragraph 2(c) (i) above, on the Control Change Date. (c) Payment. With respect to any plan or agreement under which Executive would be entitled at the Control Change Date to receive Specified Benefits as a general obligation of Railway which has not been separately funded (including specifically, but not limited to, those referred to under Paragraphs 7 (b) (i) and 7(b) (ii) (D) above), Executive shall receive within five (5) days after such date full payment in cash (discounted to then present value on the basis of a rate of 7.5 percent per annum) of all amounts to which he is then entitled thereunder. (d) Change in Control of KCSI. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control of KCSI" shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) for any reason at any time less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the KCSI Board shall be individuals who were members of the KCSI Board on the date of this Agreement or individuals whose election, or nomination for election by KCSI's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the KCSI Board then still in office who were members of the KCSI Board on the date of this Agreement, or (b) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) shall have become, according to a public announcement or filing, without the prior approval of the KCSI Board, the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of KCSI representing thirty percent (30%) (forty percent (40%) with respect to Paragraph 7(c) hereof) or more (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3) of the combined voting power of KCSI's then outstanding voting securities (such "person" hereafter referred to as a "Major Stockholder"); or (c) the stockholders of KCSI shall have approved a merger, consolidation or dissolution of KCSI or a sale, lease, exchange or disposition of all or substantially all of KCSI's assets, or a Major Stockholder shall have proposed any such transaction, unless any such merger, consolidation, dissolution, sale, lease, exchange or disposition shall have been approved by a least seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the KCSI Board who were either (i) members of the KCSI Board on the date of this Agreement or (ii) elected or nominated by at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the KCSI Board then still in office who were members of the KCSI Board on the date of this Agreement. (e) Termination After Control Change Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 7, at any time after the Control Change Date, Railway may, through its Board, terminate the employment of Executive (the "Termination"), but within five (5) days of the Termination it shall pay to Executive his full base salary through the Termination, to the extent not theretofore paid, plus a lump sum amount (the "Special Severance Payment") equal to the product (discounted to then present value on the basis of a rate of 7.5% per annum) of his annual base salary specified in Paragraph 7(a) hereof multiplied by the number of years and any portion thereof remaining in the Three-Year Period (or if the balance of the Three-Year Period after Termination is less than one year, for one year, [hereinafter called the "Extended Period"]). Specified Benefits to which Executive was entitled immediately prior to Termination shall continue until the end of the Three-Year Period (or the Extended Period, if applicable); provided that: (a) if any plan pursuant to which Specified Benefits are provided immediately prior to Termination would not permit continued participation by Executive after Termination, then Railway shall pay to Executive within five (5) days after Termination a lump sum payment equal to the amount of Specified Benefits Executive would have received if Executive had been fully vested and a continuing participant in such plan to the end of the Three-Year Period or the Extended Period, if applicable; and (b) if Executive obtains new employment following Termination, then following any waiting period applicable to participation in any plan of the new employer, Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive benefits pursuant to this sentence only to the extent such benefits would exceed those available to Executive under comparable plans of the Executive's new employer (but Executive shall not be required to repay any amounts then already received by him). (f) Resignation After Control Change Date. In the event of a Change in Control of KCSI, thereafter, upon good reason (as defined below), Executive may, at any time during the Three-Year Period or the Extended Period, in his sole discretion, on not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to the Secretary of Railway and effective at the end of such notice period, resign his employment with Railway (the "Resignation"). Within five (5) days of such a Resignation, Railway shall pay to Executive his full base salary through the effective date of such Resignation, to the extent not theretofore paid, plus a lump sum amount equal to the Special Severance Payment (computed as provided in the first sentence of Paragraph 7(e), except that for purposes of such computation all references to "Termination" shall be deemed to be references to "Resignation"). Upon Resignation of Executive, Specified Benefits to which Executive was entitled immediately prior to Resignation shall continue on the same terms and conditions as provided in Paragraph 7(e) in the case of Termination (including equivalent payments provided for therein). For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall have "good reason" if there occurs without his consent (a) a reduction in the character of the duties assigned to Executive or in Executive's level of work responsibility or conditions; (b) a reduction in Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Control Change Date or as the same may have been increased thereafter; (c) a failure by Railway or its successor to (i) continue any of the plans of the type referred to in Paragraph 7(b) which shall have been in effect at the Control Change Date including those providing for Specified Benefits) or to continue Executive as a participant in any of such plans on at least the basis in effect immediately prior to the Control Change Date; or (ii) provide other plans under which at least equivalent compensation and benefits are available and in which Executive continues to participate on a basis at least equivalent to his participation in the Railway plans in effect immediately prior to the Control Change Date; or (iii) to make the payment required under Paragraph 7(c); (d) the relocation of the principal executive offices of Railway or its successor to a location outside the metropolitan area of Kansas City, Missouri or requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than Railway's principal executive office, except for required travel on Railway's business to an extent substantially consistent with Executive's obligations immediately prior to the Control Change Date; or (e) any breach by Railway of this Agreement to the extent not previously specified. (g) Termination for Cause After Control Change Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 7, at any time after the Control Change Date, Executive may be terminated by Railway "for cause" without notice and without any payment hereunder only if such termination is for an act of dishonesty by Executive constituting a felony under the laws of the State of Missouri which resulted or was intended to result in gain or personal enrichment of Executive at Railway's expense. (h) Gross-Up Provision. If any Portion of any payments received by Executive from Railway on or after the Control Change Date (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with Railway, its successors or any person whose actions result in a Change of Control of KCSI), shall be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statutory provision ("Parachute Payments"), Railway shall pay to Executive, within five (5) days of Executive's Termination or Resignation such additional amounts as are necessary so that, after taking into account any tax imposed by such Section 4999 or any successor statutory provision on any such Parachute Payments (as well as any income tax or Section 4999 tax on payments made pursuant to this sentence), Executive is in the same after-tax position that Executive would have been in if such Section 4999 or any successor statutory provision did not apply and no payments were made pursuant to this sentence. (i) Mitigation and Expenses. (i) Other Employment. After the Control Change Date, Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and except as expressly set forth herein no such other employment, if obtained, or compensation or benefits payable in connection therewith shall reduce any amounts or benefits to which Executive is entitled hereunder. (ii) Expenses. If any dispute should arise under this Agreement after the Control Change Date involving an effort by Executive to protect, enforce or secure rights or benefits claimed by Executive hereunder, Railway shall pay (promptly upon demand by Executive accompanied by reasonable evidence of incurrence) all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute, without regard to whether Executive prevails in such dispute except that Executive shall repay Railway any amounts so received if a court having jurisdiction shall make a final, nonappealable determination that Executive acted frivolously or in bad faith by such dispute. To assure Executive that adequate funds will be made available to discharge Railway's obligations set forth in the preceding sentence, Railway has established a trust and upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of KCSI shall promptly deliver to the trustee of such trust to hold in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof that sum which the Board shall have determined is reasonably sufficient for such purpose. (j) Successors in Interest. The rights and obligations of Executive and Railway under this Paragraph 7 shall inure to the benefit of and be binding in each and every respect upon the direct and indirect successors and assigns of Railway and Executive, regardless of the manner in which such successors or assigns shall succeed to the interest of Railway or Executive hereunder, and this Paragraph 7 shall not be terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Railway or by any merger or consolidation or acquisition involving Railway, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of Railway's assets, or terminated otherwise than in accordance with its terms. In the event of any such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets, the provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation or the corporation or other person to which such assets shall be transferred. (k) Prevailing Provisions. On and after the Control Change Date, the provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall control and take precedence over any other provisions of this Agreement which are in conflict with or address the same or a similar subject matter as the provisions of this Paragraph 7. 8. Notice. Notices and all other communications to either party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when personally delivered, delivered by telecopy or deposited in the United States mail by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed, in the case of Railway, to Railway, 114 West 11th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, Attention: Secretary, or, in the case of the Executive, to him at 10120 Mackey, Overland Park, Kansas 66212, or to such other address as a party shall designate by notice to the other party. 9. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and the President of Railway. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the time or at any prior or subsequent time. 10. Successors and Assigns; Assignment by Executive Prohibited. The rights and obligations of Railway under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Railway. Except as provided in Paragraph 7(j), neither this Agreement nor any of the payments or benefits hereunder may be pledged, assigned or transferred by Executive either in whole or in part in any manner, without the prior written consent of Railway. 11. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted. 12. Controlling Law and Jurisdiction. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be subject to and construed under the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except this Agreement does not supersede any Officer Indemnification Agreement between Railway and Executive. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day and year first above written. THE KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY By /s/ George W. Edwards, Jr., President George W.

EX-13 8 KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Years Ended December 31, 1994 Introduction. Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("KCSI" or "Company") is a diversified holding company with principal operations in Transportation Services, Information & Transaction Processing and Financial Asset Management. This presentation is intended to clarify and focus on results of operations, liquidity and capital structure of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS DST Public Offering. In January 1995, the Company announced that the KCSI Board of Directors have authorized development of a plan for a public offering by DST Systems, Inc. ("DST," a wholly-owned subsidiary) of approximately 51% of DST's common equity. The purpose of the offering would be to obtain better market recognition of DST's performance and to obtain proceeds for the retirement of debt including debt owed KCSI and general corporate purposes. Payments received by KCSI from DST for debt retirement may be used by KCSI to reduce its debt, to repurchase KCSI common stock and for general corporate purposes. Any such offering would be made only pursuant to a prospectus filed as part of a DST registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Any repurchases of KCSI common stock would occur only after public announcement and in compliance with SEC regulations. Sale of Investors Fiduciary Trust Company. On July 19, 1994, the Company announced that DST and Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("Kemper") had entered into a letter of intent for acquisition of their jointly owned affiliate Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC") by State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street"). On September 27, 1994, the Company announced that DST and Kemper entered into a definitive agreement with State Street for the sale to State Street of IFTC Holdings, Inc., which wholly-owns IFTC. On January 31, 1995, DST completed the sale of its 50% interest in IFTC Holdings to State Street. At closing, DST received 2,986,111 shares of State Street common stock in a tax free exchange (representing an approximate 4% ownership interest in State Street). As a result of this transaction, DST recognized a net gain of $4.7 million in first quarter 1995. With the closing of the transaction, IFTC ceases to be an unconsolidated affiliate of DST and no further equity in earnings of IFTC will be recorded by DST. DST recognized equity in earnings from IFTC of $6.5, $4.8 and $4.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. If State Street continues its prior history with respect to the payment of dividends, DST will record dividend income on any dividends from State Street. Kemper Transactions. In early March 1995, DST signed a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets and business operations of Supervised Service Company, Inc., ("SSC"), a subsidiary of Kemper. SSC, headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, provides mutual fund transfer agency services to non-Kemper mutual fund companies (approximately 250,000 accounts), financial institutions and financial services firms. In conjunction with and subject to the SSC transaction, DST also agreed to enter into long-term contracts with Kemper to provide mutual fund shareholder system services and portfolio accounting system services for the Kemper Mutual Funds. Kemper is the investment advisor to the Kemper Mutual Fund Group. As a result of these transactions, DST expects to continue to process approximately 2 million Kemper accounts, which had been anticipated to be converted from the DST system in 1995. The SSC transaction is subject to regulatory approval. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Significant Developments. Consolidated operating results during 1992-1994 were affected by the following significant developments: Proposed Transportation Transaction. On July 19, 1994, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with Illinois Central Corporation ("IC") for merger of the Company's Transportation Services operations with IC. On October 24, 1994, however, the Company and IC jointly announced that they mutually agreed to terminate the letter of intent. The Company and IC were not able to reach a definitive agreement on a number of issues. As a result of the mutual termination of the letter of intent and negotiations with IC, the Company will continue to operate its core Transportation business as it is currently structured. In [Page 28] addition, the Company recognized expenses related to this proposed transaction, which reduced 1994 net income by $.04 per share. Pursuant to the letter of intent with IC, the Company is unable to enter into certain types of business combinations, prior to October 1995, without payment of a fee to IC of $25 million. Berger Acquisition. On October 14, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger"). Berger is the investment advisor to The Berger One Hundred Fund, The Berger One Hundred and One Fund and The Berger Small Company Growth Fund, as well as to private and other accounts, (collectively, "Berger Funds"). Berger had a total of approximately $3 billion in assets under management at December 31, 1994. The Company made payments of $47.5 million, in cash, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, (the "Agreement"). The Agreement also provides for additional purchase price payments, totalling approximately $62.4 million, contingent upon Berger attaining certain levels (up to $10 billion) of assets under management, as defined in the Agreement, over a five year period. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, increased the Company's ownership in Berger from approximately 18% (acquired in 1992) to over 80%. Adjustments to appropriate asset and liability balances have been recorded based upon estimated fair values of such assets and liabilities. The transaction resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the fair value of underlying tangible assets. The intangible amounts will be amortized over their estimated economic life of 15 years, subject to completion of an economic life analysis. The financial statements of Berger were consolidated into the Company effective with the closing of the transaction. Assuming the transaction had been completed on January 1, 1994, the addition of Berger's revenues and net income, including adjustments to reflect the effects of the acquisition, on a pro forma basis, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994, would have had an immaterial effect on the consolidated results of the Company. Janus Compensation Arrangements Termination/Berger Stock Bonus. In fourth quarter 1994, the Company recorded certain one time charges to earnings from its Financial Asset Management business unit. These one time items resulted from the early termination of employment and earnings related compensation arrangements for certain Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus") key employees, in late 1994 and early 1995, and for establishment of additional minority stock ownership of Berger for key Berger employees. The Janus compensation arrangements, which began in 1991, permitted individuals to earn units which vested over time, based upon Janus earnings. These arrangements were scheduled to be fully vested at the end of 1996. The Company negotiated the early termination of the arrangements, which resulted in payments, by Janus, of $48 million in cash, of which approximately $21 million had been previously accrued. Termination of the arrangements resulted in a net reduction in Janus' 1994 contribution to KCSI's consolidated earnings of $13.6 million or $.30 per share. By terminating this program, future years will benefit from a decline in Janus operating expenses, amounting to approximately $8 million pretax annually, based upon 1994 earnings. The Berger stock transaction established minority stock ownership for certain key employees and resulted in a one time pretax increase in Berger's operating expenses of $1.8 million. The additional minority stock provides ownership incentive to key employees for future growth of Berger and had been anticipated in the acquisition discussed earlier. Combined, the Janus and Berger transactions reduced KCSI's consolidated 1994 earnings by $.32 per share. Completion of the Kansas City Southern Railway Track and Structure Rebuilding Program/Acceleration of MidSouth Corporation Rebuilding Program. During 1994, The Kansas City Southern Railway Company ("KCSR," a wholly-owned subsidiary) reached conclusion of the major portions of a rail track and structure program which first began in 1986. In addition, as part of the MidSouth Corporation ("MidSouth") acquisition, a planned upgrade of the existing MidSouth roadbed was added to the program. Increased traffic levels on both the original KCSR route and the newly acquired MidSouth, however, accentuated the need to accelerate the MidSouth portion of the program. By the end of 1994, KCSR had essentially completed the MidSouth upgrade program thereby improving the capacity, efficiency and safety of the East/West MidSouth route, now called the KCSR Eastern Division. Accordingly, Transportation Services capital expenditures for 1994 were $208 million versus $109 in 1993. Acceleration of the MidSouth program and completion of the KCSR program, as scheduled, will result in a reduction of railway capital expenditures over the next several years. Additional cash flow available due to the reduction of capital expenditures is expected to be used for repayment of debt and general corporate purposes beginning in 1995. DST Business Developments. DST's core business operations continued to experience improvements in both revenue growth and profitability in 1994. DST's mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced continued to grow in 1994 rising 15% from 1993, even in a difficult year for many mutual funds. This [Page 29] growth in shareowner accounts also lead to an increase of 20% in the volume of pages printed by DST's output processing businesses. While improved core business volumes resulted in revenue and profitability growth, these improvements were, however, unfavorably impacted by combined operating and net losses from DST's developmental and international business units described in greater detail as follows. During 1993, DST began an expansion of certain of its product offerings and geographic presence. It increased its Portfolio Accounting product offerings with the acquisitions of Clarke & Tilley, Ltd. ("Clarke & Tilley," a United Kingdom entity) and Belvedere Financial Systems, ("Belvedere"). Clarke & Tilley develops and distributes investment accounting software, primarily in Europe, South Africa and Australia. Belvedere develops and markets an investment accounting product (the Global Portfolio System) that has potential applicability worldwide. DST also expanded its mutual fund product offerings with the 1993 acquisition of Corfax Benefit Systems, Ltd. ("Corfax," a Canadian Company), and the formation of Clarke & Tilley Data Services, Ltd. ("CTDS," a 50% owned United Kingdom entity; State Street owns the other 50%). Corfax develops and distributes mutual fund shareowner accounting software and provides pension administration processing services. CTDS is developing a unit trust accounting system for the U.K. and Luxembourg markets incorporating DST work management technology. Additionally, DST has expanded marketing and product support activities for its image-based work management product (Automated Work DistributorTM, "AWD(R)") internationally, using direct marketing and The Continuum Company, which distributes AWD(R) to the insurance industry. DST also acquired DBS Systems Inc., a 60% owned subsidiary, which has developed software to provide billing services for DirecTVTM, a commercial direct broadcast satellite system. These business units invested in expanded product development and marketing expenditures during 1994, which reduced DST profitability for 1994 as compared to 1993. In addition, when compared with DST core businesses a higher percentage of revenues from these developmental businesses (except DBS and CTDS) is currently derived from software licensing activities. Therefore, operating results will be more affected by the timing of software license activities. These acquisitions provide DST with additions to its product base and future opportunities for further expansion of its product lines into international markets but may require additional investment. Even considering the operating and net losses of these developmental businesses, however, DST recorded the highest earnings in its history in 1994. KCSR Equipment Trust Certificates. In late 1994, KCSR completed the private placement of financing for locomotives and rolling stock using Equipment Trust Certificates ("ETC's"). The ETC's were placed for an aggregate of $54.7 million representing 31 locomotives, 625 boxcars and 300 covered hoppers, which had been placed in service during 1993 and 1994. The financing represents 85% of equipment value, bears interest at a rate of 8.56% and matures in 2006. MidSouth Acquisition. The Company completed the acquisition of MidSouth, a regional railroad holding company headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 10, 1993. The purchase price for the acquisition of the MidSouth common stock aggregated approximately $213.5 million, paid in cash. The MidSouth acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1993 include the operations of MidSouth as a consolidated subsidiary effective with the closing of the transaction. Excluding the effect of additional tax expense for federal tax rate increases related to deferred accruals applicable to 1993, the transaction did not result in any dilution in the Company's 1993 or 1994 earnings. As a result of this acquisition the Company acquired operating loss carryforwards of which $57 million remained at December 31, 1994. Annual utilization of these loss carryforwards may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code as a result of a change in ownership. Anticipated future tax benefits associated with the loss carryforwards were recorded as a reduction of recorded intangibles. The Company financed the MidSouth acquisition with the $250 million credit agreement, discussed below, and other available financing resources. In addition, as part of the merger transaction, the Company refinanced substantially all of MidSouth's indebtedness at more favorable interest rates. The MidSouth acquisition provides an important East/West rail line, as a complement to KCSR's predominantly North/South route. This East/West line, running from Dallas, Texas, to Meridian, Mississippi, will allow the Company to be more competitive in the transcontinental intermodal transportation market, among others. In mid-November 1994, KCSR began dedicated through train service between Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia for intermodal traffic. This new dedicated service was initiated in conjunction with Norfolk Southern Railway Company ("NS") which interchanges with KCSR at Meridian, Mississippi for transport of intermodal traffic to destinations on the NS in the Southeastern and Eastern United States. This intermodal route competes directly with truck carriers along the Interstate 20 corridor and offers service times which are competitive with both truck and other rail carriers. [Page 30] Acquisition of the MidSouth also adds customers in the South Central U.S. to KCSR's already strong traffic base and presents opportunities for the rerouting of certain commodity movements over less circuitous routes. Effective January 1, 1994, MidSouth was operationally and administratively merged into KCSR. Vantage Computer Systems, Inc./The Continuum Company, Inc. Effective September 30, 1993, DST Systems, Inc. ("DST," a wholly-owned subsidiary) completed the merger of its 90.5% owned subsidiary, Vantage Computer Systems, Inc. ("Vantage"), into a subsidiary of The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum"). Vantage and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vantage P&C Systems, Inc. provide policyholder record keeping data processing and software for the life and property/casualty insurance industries. In the transaction, DST received approximately 3.6 million shares of Continuum stock. As a result of this transaction and additional Continuum stock purchases, DST owned approximately 24% of the outstanding common stock of Continuum at December 31, 1993. In 1994, DST purchased additional Continuum shares through privately negotiated transactions. At December 31, 1994, DST owned approximately 29% of Continuum's outstanding common stock (5.5 million shares). In the initial exchange, DST exchanged Vantage stock with a book value of approximately $17 million for Continuum stock with a then current market value of approximately $62 million. DST accounted for the initial exchange as a non-cash, non-taxable exchange in investment basis of Vantage for an investment in Continuum. Accordingly, no gain recognition was associated with the transaction. Vantage revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, were $32.6 million and $38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1992. Effective October 1, 1993, Vantage results were no longer consolidated with DST and Continuum earnings were included in DST results on the equity basis. Continuum is a publicly traded international consulting and computer services firm based in Austin, Texas, which primarily serves the needs of life and property and casualty insurance companies for computer software and services. The Vantage/Continuum transaction allows DST to expand its presence in the information processing market for the insurance industry and combine the strengths of both Vantage and Continuum. Prior to the merger, Vantage's business was primarily centered in the U.S. domestic market while Continuum has a significant international and domestic presence. Subsequent to this transaction, DST assumed all of the North American operations data processing functions for Continuum. DST and Continuum reached agreement whereby Continuum uses the capabilities of DST's Winchester Data Center for its processing requirements. In addition, Continuum obtained the rights to license DST's "Automated Work DistributorTM" ("AWD(R)") product to insurance companies worldwide. 1993 Tax Legislation. On August 10, 1993, President Clinton signed into law the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("the 1993 Tax Act"). This new tax legislation changed numerous provisions to the then existing tax law. The most significant of these changes affect the Company's Transportation Services operations. The new tax law increased the corporate tax rate from 34% to 35%. Accordingly, the Company's 1993 earnings include additional income tax expense attributable to the tax rate increase retroactive to January 1, 1993. These charges, which are included in the provision for taxes on income, represent $3.4 million ($.08 per share) related to deferred tax accruals and $900,000 ($.02 per share) related to 1993 earnings. In addition, the new tax law included provisions for higher fuel tax rates, which resulted in an additional expense to Transportation operations during 1993 of approximately $400,000. Accounting Change Postretirement Benefits. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," ("SFAS 106"), effective January 1, 1993. SFAS 106 required the Company to accrue, currently, postretirement benefits provided to retirees by the Company and its Transportation subsidiaries. These benefits relate primarily to postretirement medical, life and other benefits available to employees not covered under collective bargaining agreements. The adoption of SFAS 106 resulted in a charge to earnings in first quarter 1993 in the amount of $5.5 million, net of applicable income taxes. The adoption of SFAS 106 is not expected to have a material effect on future annual expenses of the Company. Accounting Change Income Taxes. The Company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS 109"), effective January 1, 1993. SFAS 109 was issued as an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS 96"). The adoption of SFAS 109 resulted in a charge to earnings in first quarter 1993 of $970,000. As a result of the Company's previous adoption of SFAS 96, the adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material impact on the components of income tax expense or the effective income tax rates applicable to continuing operations versus the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate. [Page 31] Stock Splits. In both 1992 and 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized 2-for-1 splits effected in the form of stock dividends in the Company's Common stock. The Company's Board of Directors also authorized an 11% dividend increase in January 1992, with respect to the Company's outstanding Common stock. The annual Common dividend was increased to $.30 per share from the then current $.27 per share, on an after 1993 split basis. Appropriate data in this report and the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes were restated to reflect the effect of both of these 2-for-1 stock splits. Debt Securities Registration and Offerings 1993 and 1992. On June 24, 1993, the Company issued $100 million of debt securities comprised of Notes bearing interest at a rate of 5.75% and maturing in 1998. The net proceeds of this transaction, along with certain proceeds from the Company's $250 million credit agreement, were used to refinance certain MidSouth debt in July 1993. On September 29, 1993, the Company filed a Registration Statement, registering $500 million in securities. The securities may be offered in the form of Common Stock, New Series Preferred Stock $1 par value, Convertible Debt Securities, or other Debt Securities (collectively, "the Securities"). Net proceeds from the sale of the Securities are expected to be added to the general funds of the Company and used principally for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions of or investments in businesses and assets. The Company has not yet sought to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and no securities have been issued. On July 1, 1992, the Company issued $100 million 7.875% Notes due 2002 and $100 million 8.8% Debentures due 2022. The 7.875% Notes are not redeemable prior to their maturity in 2002, and the 8.8% Debentures are redeemable on or after July 1, 2002, at a premium of 104.04%, which declines to par on or after July 1, 2012. Proceeds from the debt offer were used to repay borrowings under then existing revolving credit agreements. The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including debt repayments, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of and/or investments in businesses and assets and acquisition of the Company's capital stock. On March 3, 1993, the Company issued $100 million of debt securities as 6.625% Notes due 2005. The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including subsidiary debt repayments, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of or investments in businesses and assets, and acquisitions of the Company's capital stock. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On October 1, 1993, KCSI transferred one million shares of KCSI Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") to the Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. Employee Plan Funding Trust ("the Trust"), a grantor trust established by KCSI. The purchase price of the stock, based upon an independent valuation, was $200 million, which the Trust financed through KCSI. The indebtedness of the Trust to KCSI is repayable over 27 years with interest at 6% per year, with no principal payments in the first three years. The Trust, which is administered by an independent bank trustee, and is consolidated into the Company's financial statements, will repay the indebtedness to KCSI utilizing dividends and other income as well as other cash obtained from KCSI. As the debt is reduced, shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, or shares of Common stock acquired on conversion, will be released and available for distribution to various KCSI employee benefit plans, including its ESOP, Stock Option Plan and Stock Purchase Plans. The Series B Preferred Stock, which has a $10 per share (5%) annual dividend and a $200 per share liquidation preference, is convertible into Common stock at an initial ratio of four shares of Common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable after 18 months at a specified premium and under certain other circumstances. The Series B Preferred Stock can be held only by the Trust or its beneficiaries, the employee benefit plans of KCSI. The full terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations approved by the Board of Directors and filed in Delaware. KCSI Credit Agreements. During 1994, the Company established or increased credit agreements with several lending institutions. These new or expanded credit lines increased the Company's borrowing ability by $150 million to $450 million. These agreements bear interest rates below prime. In 1994, these agreements were utilized to finance the Berger acquisition and subsidiary working capital requirements. Remaining credit capacity under these agreements is intended for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 1994, the Company had an aggregate of $115 million of indebtedness outstanding on these agreements. On December 8, 1992, the Company established a credit agreement in the amount of $250 million. This agreement replaced the Company's then existing $100 million credit agreement, which had been in place since 1989. During 1993, proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of MidSouth and refinance certain MidSouth indebtedness. Remaining credit capacity under the facility is intended for general corporate [Page 32] purposes. At December 31, 1994, the Company had $200 million of indebtedness outstanding on this agreement. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In the fourth quarter 1993, the Company initiated the eighth offering under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Approximately 221,000 shares of Company Common stock were subscribed to under this offering, which will be funded through employee payroll deductions, over a two year period, at a price of $38.20 per share. In the fourth quarter 1992, the Company initiated the seventh offering under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Approximately 248,000 shares of Company Common stock were subscribed to under this offering, which were funded through employee payroll deductions at a price of $18.75 per share. In January 1994, a total of approximately 234,000 shares of Common stock were issued from treasury to employees under the seventh offering. Union Labor Negotiations. Collective bargaining agreements with KCSR union employees, representing approximately 85% of KCSR's workforce were executed in 1992. These agreements allowed for implementation of productivity improvements and cost sharing arrangements with contract employees. Productivity improvements have been realized by modifications in the operation of trains with reduced crew sizes. These productivity improvements were necessary to enable the railroad industry to remain competitive with other modes of transportation. These labor agreements reopened for negotiation at the end of 1994 for most bargaining unions while others reopen for negotiation in varying periods beginning in 1995. KCSR management is currently in the process of meeting with unions representing its employees through the National Railway Labor Conference, along with other Class I railroads, seeking to negotiate issues on a national level. Discussions with these unions are in the very early stages. As a result of the labor agreements executed in 1992, management believes the Company is better positioned to compete effectively with railroads contiguous to its lines as well as other forms of transportation. However, railroads remain restricted by antiquated operating rules and are thus prevented from achieving optimum productivity. KCSR and other railroads continue to be affected by labor regulations which are more burdensome than those governing non-rail industries including its principal trucking competitors. The Railroad Retirement Act requires up to a 23.75% contribution by railroads on eligible wages, while the Social Security and Medicare Acts only require a 7.65% employer contribution on similar wage bases. Other programs, such as The Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA), when compared to worker's compensation laws vividly illustrate the competitive disadvantage placed upon the rail industry by federal labor regulations. Principal Stockholders Transaction. The following activity occurred among the Company's principal stockholders: * In early 1994, Warburg, Pincus Capital Company, L.P. an affiliate of E.M. Warburg Pincus & Co., ("Warburg") a New York based venture banking and investment management firm, distributed 4 million shares of the Company's Common stock, held by Warburg, to its limited partners, including institutional holders and pension funds. Safety and Quality Programs. KCSR continued implementation and emphasis of important safety and quality programs during 1994. Related benefits are expected to be recurring in nature and realizable over future years. In 1994, however, the Company experienced a doubling of Federal Railroad Administration reportable employee injuries compared to 1993. This significant increase in injuries is primarily attributable to the merger of the MidSouth into KCSR, (MidSouth statistics are not included prior to 1994). While overall employee injuries increased in 1994, associated operating expenses did not rise in the same proportion as the number of injuries. This is primarily a result of KCSR's active safety programs coupled with the lesser severity of 1994 injuries. In 1993, the Company experienced a 31% reduction in employee injuries, as compared to 1992 and a 28% reduction in 1992 compared to 1991. "Safety" and "Quality" programs comprise two important ongoing goals of railroad management and accordingly, 1995 employee injuries are anticipated to decline from 1994 levels and associated expenses are not anticipated to have a material impact on operating results for 1995. Output Technologies, Inc. DST's output processing businesses, Output Technologies, Inc. ("OTI") continued to experience growth trends in 1994. OTI printed 802 million pages of output in 1994, up 20% from the 669 million pages in 1993, resulting in improved earnings. During 1993, OTI completed the internal reorganization of its subsidiaries which included renaming of certain subsidiaries and merging of certain operations. The overall objective of the 1993 reorganization was a consolidation of output related activities, identification of businesses with the OTI name and alignment into geographic operating regions. [Page 33] INDUSTRY SEGMENT RESULTS The Company's major business activities are classified as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Revenues Transportation Services $ 508.5 $ 451.1 $ 369.2 Information & Transaction Processing 404.3 342.2 270.5 Financial Asset Management 188.3 162.7 97.5 Eliminations, Corporate & Other (3.2) 5.1 4.2 Total $ 1,097.9 $ 961.1 $ 741.4 % Change from Prior Year 14.2% 29.6% 21.5% Operating Income Transportation Services $ 124.9 $ 116.7 $ 75.3 Information & Transaction Processing 34.7 31.2 17.8 Financial Asset Management 53.1 80.0 45.7 Eliminations, Corporate & Other (10.2) (15.8) (12.9) Total $ 202.5 $ 212.1 $ 125.9 % Change from Prior Year (4.5%) 68.5% 28.1%
Transportation Services. Transportation Services operations are comprised principally of KCSR (a wholly-owned subsidiary), which accounts for more than 90% of Transportation Services revenues. KCSR revenues have increased modestly each year in the 1990-1993 period principally from volume increases in both general commodity and coal trains despite downward pressure on rates. In 1994, however, KCSR revenues rose significantly. Higher 1994 revenues resulted from additional revenues of the MidSouth acquisition and operating synergies created by the combination. As domestic economic conditions improved in 1994, KCSR carloading volumes also increased. (MDA Graph #1) In general, competition, most directly from over the road truck transportation, is the primary cause of downward pressure on rates as trucks have eroded the railroad industry's share of transportation dollars. Changing regulations, subsidized highway improvement programs and favorable labor regulations have improved the competitive position of trucks as an alternative mode of surface transportation for many commodities. In recent years, railroad industry management has sought avenues for improving its competitive positions and forged alliances with truck companies in order to provide faster, safer and more efficient service to its customers. KCSR has joined this industry trend in entering into agreements with several truck companies and initiation of through train intermodal service between Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia in conjunction with Norfolk Southern Railway Company. This new intermodal service began in mid-November 1994. Assuming no major economic deterioration occurs in the region serviced by the Transportation businesses, management expects moderate growth during 1995. KCSR 1994 revenues, including full year MidSouth for comparative purposes, rose 3% from 1993. General commodity carloadings rose 6% for 1994 from increased intermodal traffic (which experienced a 69% and 46% improvement in fourth quarter and year to date, respectively), but were somewhat offset by lower unit coal carloadings discussed below. Carloadings of chemicals, petroleum and food products were also higher in 1994 but were somewhat offset by a decline in export grain traffic, which was weak for much of 1994. Reduced pulp/paper carloadings were attributable to the Soo Line strike, which had a disproportionate effect on KCSR. The increased intermodal traffic is the result of improved volumes in the Kansas City/Dallas route and initiation of through train service over the Dallas/Atlanta route in conjunction with Norfolk Southern in late 1994. Unit coal revenues declined 4% [Page 34] in 1994 compared to prior year. Coal revenues and carloadings declined in large part as a result of the absence of shipments to a Texas (Monticello) utilities electric generating plant served by KCSR. This plant accounted for 2.2 million net tons and 247 unit coal trains in 1993, which were temporarily lost to KCSR because of a smoke stack collapse at the plant. The Monticello plant is expected to be back on line in late 1995. (MDA Graph #2) Improved traffic levels also translated into increased operating expenses in 1994. Increased expenses were experienced in salaries & wages (train & enginemen), car hire (intermodal equipment usage and system congestion), maintenance of equipment (intermodal traffic) and interest expense (related to the MidSouth acquisition). Even though operating expenses were higher in 1994, KCSR was able to reduce its Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") operating ratio from 77% in 1993 to 76.2% in 1994. The ICC operating ratio is a common efficiency measurement among Class I railroads. KCSR 1993 revenues rose 3% compared to 1992. General commodity revenues, excluding intermodal traffic, rose 5.5% on generally higher traffic volumes. The higher traffic volumes resulted, in part, from a strengthening of U.S. economic conditions, which continued to rise slowly from a recessionary period in 1990-1992. Higher traffic levels were experienced in carloadings of farm products, particularly corn & wheat, non-metallic ores, lumber/wood pulp/paper, chemical and petroleum shipments. Intermodal carloadings declined 8% in 1993 as KCSR was in the process of upgrading its "on-off ramp" loading facilities in anticipation of greater intermodal traffic, which was experienced in 1994. Unit coal revenues rose modestly in 1993 on overall increased tonnage but were adversely affected by variances in length of haul and rates. While 1993 revenues rose, operating expenses declined in 1993 compared to 1992. Favorable expense variances were caused by cost containment efforts, lower fuel costs and lower expenses from KCSR's continuing emphasis on safety, but somewhat offset by increased costs on higher traffic levels. The combination of higher KCSR revenues and lower expenses helped effect a 55% increase in Transportation Services operating income in 1993 compared to 1992. These cost containment initiatives also helped effect a decline in KCSR's ICC operating ratio from 82.3% in 1992 to 77% in 1993. Transportation Services results also benefitted in 1993 from revenue and net income additions of MidSouth and favorable operations at Pabtex, Inc., which experienced increased volumes in 1993. MidSouth contributed $67.8 million in revenues to 1993 Transportation Services results, which surpassed comparative prior year revenues on increased carloadings. MidSouth's 1993 earnings, net of all acquisition related expenses, were positive after excluding the effect of the federal income tax rate increase. The flooding in the Midwest region of the United States during 1993 did not materially affect the Company's rail transportation operations. KCSR's trackage, facilities and physical properties were not directly hampered by the rising flood waters. However, many of KCSR's interchange partners in the Kansas City gateway were affected, which resulted in congestion, rerouting of certain traffic, and delays of commodity movements, particularly for grain and coal shipments. KCSR experienced revenue declines, during third quarter 1993, in certain commodities due to the inability to interchange shipments with other railroads. Overall, the financial impact was immaterial. (MDA Graph #3) KCSR general commodities revenues increased 7.2% during 1992 from 1991. Revenue gains were experienced in the transportation of farm products, particularly soybeans and wheat, pulp/paper products, lumber/wood products and non-metallic mineral shipments, but were somewhat offset by a decline in carloadings of chemical and petroleum products and lower intermodal traffic. The following summarizes components of KCSR's revenues (in millions per ICC Form R-1):
1994 1993* 1992* General Commodities $350.0 $222.2 $212.8 Coal 101.7 106.2 105.5 Other 20.8 17.1 17.3 Total $472.5 $345.5 $335.6 *Excludes MidSouth information
[Page 35] Railroad Transportation operations are constantly faced with substantial costs related to fuel, labor and maintenance of equipment and of its roadbed. KCSR locomotive fuel usage represented 7% of railroad operating costs in 1994. Fuel costs are affected by traffic levels, efficiency of operations and equipment, and petroleum market conditions. Although diesel fuel prices have stabilized in recent years, control of fuel expenses is a constant concern of management and fuel savings is a top priority. A roadway improvement program was begun by KCSR in 1986. This program was implemented to upgrade the roadway in order to reduce operating costs, improve safety, increase the capabilities of KCSR and increase quality of service to customers. In 1990, KCSR completed bridge and related modifications to support unrestricted transportation of double stack containers. Removal of restrictions to the double stack operation along with the addition of an East/West MidSouth rail line have permitted KCSR to compete more effectively with other carriers in the transcontinental intermodal markets. In 1994, KCSR accelerated the remaining portions of its program on the original KCSR route and also those related to the upgrade and expansion of the MidSouth track and roadbed. Acceleration of this program resulted in increased capital spending. By the end of 1994, both the KCSR and MidSouth track had been essentially rebuilt and MidSouth traffic capability was expanded by the additions of new track sidings. Acceleration of the program became necessary to handle the increased business volumes at faster train speeds, which became evident in the East/West traffic corridor, while still improving safety. The roadway program has been and will continue to be funded with internally generated cash flows. While certain portions of the program will continue into 1995, future years capital expenditures are anticipated to decline significantly from prior year levels. Cash flow made available by the reduction in capital spending is anticipated to be used for debt repayment and other general corporate purposes. Portions of roadway maintenance costs are capitalized and other portions expensed, as appropriate. Expenses aggregated $43, $40, and $40 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Maintenance and capital improvement programs are in conformity with the Federal Railroad Administration's track standards and are accounted for in accordance with the Interstate Commerce Commission's accounting rules. Information & Transaction Processing. DST Systems, Inc. ("DST," a wholly-owned subsidiary). DST revenues have been increasing because of customer base growth, new lines of business and expanded products. A significant amount of DST's net income is derived from the operations of its various joint ventures discussed in "Unconsolidated Affiliates." (MDA Graph #4) DST's contribution to KCSI's consolidated results rose 40% to $32 million in 1994 compared to prior year, while 1994 revenues rose 18% from 1993. These improved results are reflective of the growth trends experienced by DST throughout 1994 as mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced reached a record 32.1 million. Output Technologies, Inc. business volumes increased and earnings from DST's unconsolidated affiliates rose significantly over 1993. Increased earnings from unconsolidated affiliates are due to a full year of earnings from Continuum along with improved earnings from DST's other affiliates. DST also continued to process approximately 2 million accounts from Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("Kemper," a DST customer), which were anticipated to be converted from the DST system in 1994. As a result of the Kemper transactions, discussed earlier, DST expects to continue to process the Kemper accounts. These earnings increases in 1994 were, however, hampered by operating and net losses of its developmental businesses, discussed earlier. During 1994, these developmental businesses, reported revenues and net losses of $39.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, versus revenues and net losses of $11 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in 1993. Management expects losses with respect to these developmental businesses to continue into 1995. During 1993, DST consolidated revenues rose 27% from 1992, while DST's contribution to KCSI earnings improved 50% to $22.9 million from $15.3 million in 1992. This revenue and income increase resulted from an increase in mutual fund accounts serviced and the absence of one-time expenses which reduced 1992 results (discussed below). Total mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced rose to 28 million at December 31, 1993 from 22.4 million at December 31, 1992, resulting in higher mutual fund processing and output services volume. During 1993, 500,000 Kemper accounts were converted from the DST system. The loss of 500,000 accounts in 1993 was offset by account growth from other mutual fund customers and accordingly, did not have a material financial impact. [Page 36] During 1992, DST experienced a 28% increase in revenues; however, operating income declined from 1991. Revenue growth was generated by increased overall business volumes and the expanded contribution of OTI and Vantage. The operating income decline resulted from several items which negatively impacted 1992 earnings: (i) lower weighted average billable monthly balance of mutual fund shareowner accounts serviced in 1992 as a result of the loss of 2.7 million Vanguard accounts in late 1991, even though DST ended 1992 at 22.4 million shareowner accounts; (ii) higher ESOP component of employee benefit costs (1992-$12.7 million; 1991-$4.2 million) from expanded headcount and additional ESOP expense which resulted in lower ESOP costs in 1993; (iii) start up and development costs for DST's TRAC-2000TM system for 401(K) plans and Vantage's software for the property and casualty insurance industry; and (iv) certain building renovation costs. The number of mutual fund accounts serviced by DST increased to 22.4 million at December 31, 1992, versus 18.7 million at December 31, 1991. The financial institutions served by DST, both mutual fund and insurance, will continue to evaluate whether to internalize or outsource their servicing and technology needs. This process will have both positive and negative effects on DST's results; however, on an overall basis, DST's customer base is expected to grow. (MDA Graph #5) Beginning in 1991 and continuing through 1994, DST continued its focus on internal and external expansion of its service presence in the mutual fund, insurance and financial services industries. DST made a commitment to the life and property/casualty insurance industry business lines in 1990, and the structure of DST's involvement in the insurance industry changed during 1993 with the exchange of Vantage and the resulting equity ownership in Continuum. However, DST's total service to the insurance industry increased as DST continues to process the Vantage policyholder accounts, has added processing of all Continuum policyholder accounts and other services as well as gaining access to Continuum's market for DST's AWD(R) imaging product. During 1993, DST continued marketing of Automated Work DistributorTM, an image-based clerical work management system. The AWD(R) System's image technology can also be combined with principles of an intelligent workstation. AWD(R) was initially implemented in several mutual fund transfer agencies, but through expansion resided on more than 4,200 work stations in companies throughout the world at December 31, 1993 (a 75% increase since December 31, 1992) and was used to service approximately 53% of the mutual fund shareowner accounts on DST's system. AWD(R) is also used in industries such as insurance, banking and health care. Concurrent with the Continuum transaction, Continuum and DST signed a licensing agreement whereby Continuum will market the AWD(R) product for use in insurance industry applications. The Continuum agreement provides DST access to additional international markets for its AWD(R) products. (MDA Graph #6) In 1994, DST sought greater market penetration of its AWD(R) product in the insurance marketplace through its licensing agreement with Continuum and directly into non-insurance markets through DST's international subsidiaries. By the end of 1994, DST had international locations in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and South Africa, with more than 8,000 AWD(R) workstations in use worldwide (a 90% increase over 1993), of which approximately 27% are installed in insurance company operations. DST's printed output processing businesses, Output Technologies, Inc. ("OTI") also continued to grow in 1994. In 1994, OTI revenues rose 9% primarily from increased print processing as laser click volumes rose 20% to 802 million pages. Revenues rose 34% for the OTI group of companies in 1993 from increased output processing volumes and contributions from new and expanded business lines. These new and expanded business lines have contributed to DST's growth during the last three years and expanded its product lines available to customers. OTI's 1993 laser click volume was 669 million pages of printed output, an increase of 45% over the 460 million pages in 1992. OTI growth has been achieved through acquisitions and location expansion. [Page 37] Financial Asset Management Janus Capital Corporation. ("Janus," an 83% owned subsidiary). Janus operations experienced significant growth in 1993 and 1992 with operating income comprising 38% and 36%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated operating income. In 1994, however, operating income declined compared to 1993 while revenues rose 11%. This decline in operating income is primarily attributable to the one-time net charge to KCSI's consolidated earnings of $13.6 million, ($27.1 pretax increase in Janus operating expenses) from the early termination of employment and earnings related compensation arrangements, discussed earlier. Excluding this charge, operating income would have risen compared to 1993 but not at levels experienced in prior years. 1994 was a difficult year for equity money managers as rising interest rates affected market conditions in general and, when coupled with increased expenses for advanced customer services capabilities and marketing and promotional efforts, Janus' earnings were negatively affected. Growth in assets under management began a pattern of slower growth in the second half of 1993 and continued into 1994 rising to $22.9 billion at December 31, 1994 from $22.2 billion at December 31, 1993. While overall assets under management remained relatively stable, fund sales continued strong in 1994 at $6.5 billion. Total Janus assets under management increased $.7 billion in 1994, $6.7 billion in 1993, $6.8 billion in 1992, $5.6 billion in 1991 and $1.3 billion in 1990. (MDA Graph #7) While Janus experienced significant growth during 1993, much of that growth occurred in the first half of 1993. During the third and fourth quarters of 1993, growth in assets under management slowed. Total fund sales were $3.3 billion during the second half of 1993 versus $5.5 billion during the first six months of 1993, while fund redemptions increased to $2.2 billion versus $1.6 billion, respectively. Janus has increased expenditures to provide quality service to its shareholders through the use of advanced technology and extensive personnel training programs. Janus continued to reap significant benefits from ongoing marketing efforts in terms of fund sales and market appreciation during 1993 and 1992. The following table highlights assets under management and revenues:
1994 1993 1992 Assets Under Management (in billions): Janus No-Load Funds $ 17.3 $ 17.0 $ 11.7 IDEX Load Funds .9 1.2 1.0 WRL Insurance Products Funds 1.2 1.2 .8 Institutional and Separately Managed Accounts 2.7 2.1 1.3 Cash Equivalent Fund .8 .7 .7 Total Janus $ 22.9 $ 22.2 $ 15.5 Berger Funds 3.0 ---- ---- Total $ 25.9 $ 22.2 $ 15.5 Revenues (in millions): Janus $180.5 $162.7 $ 97.5 Berger 7.8* ---- ---- *since acquisition, October 1994.
In 1994, Janus introduced the Janus Overseas Fund, an international equity fund and expanded its product offerings for the Janus Aspen Series, initiated in 1993. As overall fund sales growth slowed in 1994, Janus focused its efforts on increased marketing and promotional activities in an effort to increase recognition of the Janus brand name and reach a class of potential investors who have not typically used mutual funds as an investment alternative. This initiative led to the launching of a major print, radio and television marketing campaign begun in late 1994, which is continuing into 1995. During 1993, Janus continued to expand the distribution channels of the Janus funds by participating in Schwab's Mutual Fund "OneSource" service of Charles Schwab as well as a similar program offered by Fidelity Investments, both of which began in 1992. At December 31, 1994, approximately 10% of Janus' total assets under management were generated through the Schwab relationship, the largest of such programs. In addition, Janus introduced two new Janus fund portfolios; Janus Mercury Fund, an equity fund; Janus Federal Tax Exempt Fund, a tax exempt income fund; and the Janus Aspen Series, which consists of portfolios funded through variable annuity contracts, such as the Janus Retirement Advantage. During 1992, Janus introduced three new mutual funds; Janus Enterprise Fund, an equity fund; Janus Balanced Fund, a combination equity/fixed income fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund, a short-term income fund. [Page 38] Janus has expanded its assets under management by marketing advisory services directly to pension plan sponsors, insurance, banking and brokerage firms for their proprietary investment products. These relationships generated approximately $948, $920 and $340 million in new assets in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger") is the investment advisor of The Berger One Hundred Fund, The Berger One Hundred and One Fund and The Berger Small Company Growth Fund as well as private and other accounts, (collectively "Berger Funds"). The Company made its first investment in Berger in 1992 when it acquired an 18% interest. In October 1994, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Berger, increasing its ownership to over 80%. At the date of closing of the transaction, Berger became a consolidated subsidiary of KCSI. For the period since acquisition of a controlling interest, Berger contributed essentially breakeven results to KCSI consolidated earnings. These earnings include all acquisition related costs and were it not for the one-time charge to earnings, discussed earlier, Berger would have contributed positively to KCSI's results. Berger assets under management grew rapidly in 1994 beginning the year at $1.9 billion and ending on December 31, 1994 at $3 billion. Management believes Berger has good name recognition in the industry, has historically had favorable fund performance and through the use of marketing and promotional efforts has attracted increasing fund sales and investors. Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income increases are a direct result of increases in assets under management and processing services. Assets under management and shareholder accounts have grown in recent years from a combination of new money investments or fund sales and market appreciation. Fund sales have risen in response to marketing efforts, favorable fund performance and the current popularity of no-load mutual funds. Market appreciation has resulted from increases in stock investment values. However, a decline in the stock and bond markets and/or an increase in the rate of return of alternative investments could negatively impact Financial Asset Management revenues and operating income. In addition, the mutual fund market, in general, faces increasing competition as the number of mutual funds continues to increase, marketing and distribution channels become more creative and complex, and investors place greater emphasis on published fund recommendations and investment category rankings. These factors could also affect the Company's Financial Asset Management businesses and negatively impact revenues and operating income. Eliminations, Corporate & Other. The "Eliminations, Corporate and Other" consists of unallocated KCSI Holding Company operating expenses, intercompany eliminations, and miscellaneous other investment activities. Modest fluctuations in this reporting category occurred during 1993 and 1992. In 1994, however, net operating losses declined from a combination of lower unallocated holding company expenses and a shift in net interest income/expense as intercompany debt amounts and costs were fully allocated to subsidiary operations as opposed to being borne at the holding company level. In addition, lower expenses in 1994 resulted from the reversal of certain employment related tax and interest accruals (amounting to approximately $.06 per share), on the favorable outcome of long-standing tax issues regarding the status of KCSI Holding Company employees under the Railroad Retirement Tax Act. Unconsolidated Affiliates. Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates consist principally of DST's equity in the earnings of Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC," a 50% owned affiliate prior to the sale of IFTC discussed earlier), Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. ("BFDS," a 50% owned affiliate), The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum," a 29% owned affiliate), Midland Data Systems, Inc., and Midland Loan Services L.P. (collectively "Midland," 45% owned affiliates) and Argus Health Systems, Inc., ("Argus," a 50% owned affiliate). (MDA Graph #8) IFTC experienced substantial growth in assets under custody ($126 billion - 1994 from $106 billion - 1992). DST's equity in IFTC earnings were $6.5, $4.8 and $4.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. IFTC earnings are influenced by mutual fund industry growth and interest rate fluctuations. IFTC's 1994 earnings rose significantly from 1993. These improved earnings resulted from the increasing interest rate environment in 1994 along with improved mutual fund industry growth. 1993 net income was essentially unchanged when compared to 1992. While IFTC assets under custody grew, results were reduced by a change in the fiduciary fee arrangement between IFTC and its parent companies and lower investment earnings. Excluding the change in fiduciary fees, IFTC results were improved over 1992. In 1992, IFTC earnings declined from 1991 even though assets under custody continued to grow. The 1992 earnings decline resulted from interest rate fluctuations and losses on certain foreign currency investments. At December 31, 1992, IFTC had liquidated its portfolio regarding the foreign currency investments. [Page 39] In early 1995, DST exchanged its 50% interest in IFTC for 2,986,111 common shares of State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street"), representing an approximate 4% interest in State Street, discussed earlier. As a result of this transaction DST recognized a gain on the sale of its IFTC equity investment and after consideration of appropriate tax effects recognized a net gain of $4.7 million in first quarter 1995. DST's equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates are expected to decline in 1995 as a result of the loss of the IFTC earnings. This decline will be partially offset with State Street dividends, currently $.16 per common share quarterly (assuming State Street continues its recent trend regarding payment of dividends to stockholders), and anticipated improvements in earnings of remaining unconsolidated DST affiliates. BFDS provides full service transfer agency functions for open and closed end mutual funds and corporations utilizing DST's proprietary systems. In addition, it performs remittance processing functions. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, BFDS contributed $5.1, $2.1 and $.5 million, respectively, in equity earnings to DST through increases in mutual fund and corporate shareowner accounts processed, efficient operating practices and expanded services. As discussed earlier, Continuum became a DST equity affiliate when DST exchanged its interest in Vantage for an equity interest in Continuum in late 1993. Accordingly, Continuum was an unconsolidated affiliate for all of 1994 and contributed $7.2 million in equity earnings to DST and $.7 million in 1993. Assuming Continuum continues revenue and earnings growth trends exhibited in 1994, management expects that Continuum will provide significant equity earnings to DST during 1995. Argus, which provides insurance processing services to the health care industry through a pharmaceutical claims processing system, also experienced volume and income growth in 1994. Argus revenues and earnings are a direct result of pharmacy claims volume. Pharmacy claims processed have grown steadily (106 million claims in 1994 from 49 million claims in 1992). Increased claims volume led to income growth; DST's equity in Argus earnings were $3.7, $2.3 and $1.7 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Midland had been awarded contracts with the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") for operation of an Asset Management System and a Control Totals Module System for use by the RTC. In 1994, however, the RTC converted off of the Midland system. Midland also provides commercial loan processing services. Midland's earnings contribution to DST improved in 1994 compared to 1993. Improved commercial loan conversion volumes resulted in increased earnings but were somewhat offset by a decline in Midland's RTC loan processing work as the RTC converted off of the Midland system. Midland earnings declined significantly in 1993 from 1992. This decline in earnings stemmed from a 1993 trend of lower margins on loan securitizations and delays on the receipt of certain loan processing work for the RTC. DST's combined equity in Midland earnings were $1.7, $.9 and $4.3 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Management believes opportunities exist in Midland's business lines and is focusing attention on the expansion of Midland's loan services capabilities in the private sector. Interest Expense. Consolidated interest expense rose 5% in 1994 to $53.6 million from $51.2 million in 1993. This rise in interest expense is primarily attributable to an increase in debt balances in 1994, principally associated with borrowings to finance the acquisition of Berger Associates, Inc., additional Continuum stock purchases by DST, KCSR equipment requirements and subsidiary working capital, and higher interest rates. During 1994, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") increased short-term borrowing rates significantly. This Fed action increased the Company's short-term floating debt cost of funds, however, a significant portion of the Company's debt structure, approximately 62%, represents fixed rate debt instruments, most of which were in place prior to 1994. Accordingly, the rising interest rates did not affect interest expense related to this fixed rate debt. Interest expense in 1994 was also affected by the reversal of interest accruals ($3 million) related to KCSI Railroad Retirement Tax issues discussed earlier, which reduced consolidated interest expense. Interest expense in 1993 rose dramatically from 1992 and 1991 levels, ($33.1 million in 1992 and $32.1 in 1991). This rise in interest expense is primarily attributable to borrowings required to finance the MidSouth acquisition, but somewhat offset by the refinancing of debt at subsidiary levels, including MidSouth, with more favorable borrowing rates. Additional borrowings in 1993 were primarily $200 million in public debt offerings and $230 million from the Company's revolving credit agreement. Interest expense in 1992 increased from proceeds of the Company's $200 million Note and Debenture offer somewhat offset by a decline in short-term interest rates, redemption of the 12% Debentures in 1991 and repayment of working capital credit lines. [Page 40] LIQUIDITY Operating Cash Flow. The Company's cash flow from operations has historically been positive, and traditionally sufficient to fund operations, KCSR roadway capital improvements, DST systems development and operating capacity costs, and debt service. External sources of cash, principally negotiated bank debt, public debt and sale of investments, have historically been used to fund acquisitions, new ventures, investments, equipment additions and Company stock purchases. Operating cash flows have risen steadily in each year from 1992 to 1994. The following table summarizes operating cash flow information (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Net income $104.9 $ 90.5 $ 63.8 Depreciation and amortization 119.1 97.2 74.2 Change in working capital items 14.4 (37.7) (34.8) Deferred income taxes 20.0 29.6 2.6 Other (23.1) 9.6 17.1 Net operating cash flow $235.3 $189.2 $122.9
(MDA Graph #9) Operating cash flows in 1994 rose 24% over 1993 to $235.3 million. The improved operating cash flow resulted from higher net income, increased non-cash depreciation and amortization (MidSouth, Berger and DST related acquisitions and property additions along with increased road and equipment property additions at KCSR), and changes in working capital items. 1993 operating cash flows increased 54% from 1992 to $189.2 million. This increase primarily related to higher net income, increased non-cash depreciation and amortization, (MidSouth and DST acquisitions along with KCSR road property additions), and increased deferred income taxes. 1992 operating cash flows of $122.9 million increased 10% over 1991 from increased net income, higher depreciation and amortization primarily related to DST equipment acquisitions, increases in non-cash expense accruals but offset by changes in working capital items, primarily increased accounts receivable on higher revenues. Summary cash flow data is as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Cash flows provided by (used for): Operating activities $235.3 $189.2 $122.9 Investing activities (333.6) (394.7) (178.0) Financing activities 104.4 196.7 26.5 Net increase (decrease) in cash and equivalents 6.1 (8.8) (28.6) Cash and equivalents at beginning of year 6.6 15.4 44.0 Cash and equivalents at end of year $ 12.7 $ 6.6 $ 15.4
Financing and Investing Cash Flows. These cash flows include: (i) new financings of $201, $447 and $283 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively; (ii) repayment of indebtedness in the amounts of $66, $231 and $215 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and (iii) cash dividends of $13 million each in 1994-1992. Proceeds from the issuance of debt in 1994 were used for KCSR equipment purchases ($64 million), DST Continuum stock purchases ($18 million), the Berger acquisition ($48 million), ESOP contributions ($12 million) and DST property additions ($59 million). Proceeds from issuance of debt in 1993 were used for the MidSouth acquisition ($214 million), Continuum stock purchases ($20 million), refinancing of MidSouth indebtedness ($129 million) and subsidiary refinancing and working capital ($84 million). Proceeds from issuance of debt in 1992 were used for operating cash requirements ($42 million), repayment of bank credit lines ($90 million), repurchase of KCSI capital stock ($31 million), MidSouth Common stock investment ($26 million), subsidiary indebtedness financing ($65 million), operating growth and business expansion at DST ($29 million). Repayment of indebtedness includes scheduled maturities and refinancings. [Page 41] CAPITAL STRUCTURE Capital Requirements. The Company has traditionally funded capital expenditures in Transportation Services using Equipment Trust Certificates for major purchases of Railway locomotive and rolling stock, and negotiated term financing for other equipment, and DST and Janus operations. Conversely, capital improvements for roadway track structure have historically been funded with cash flow from operations. The MidSouth acquisition required completion of a capital improvement program for MidSouth roadbed, locomotives and facilities. This program contemplated a multi-year time frame to upgrade and expand MidSouth's track to handle greater traffic levels at higher train speeds. During 1994, the Company accelerated its time table with respect to major upgrades of the MidSouth program, which included welded rail replacement and construction of new track sidings. Acceleration of the program was necessary to handle increased traffic especially with respect to intermodal business. By the end of 1994 the major portions of the MidSouth program were complete. Subsequent to completion of the MidSouth acquisition and debt refinancing, the Company funded MidSouth capital requirements with historical funding sources. These same sources were used in funding 1994 Transportation Services capital programs and are expected to be used in funding 1995 capital programs, currently estimated at $130 million, a significant decline from the $208 million expended in 1994. Funding requirements for the KCSR long-term roadway improvement program, which began in the mid-1980's, has used significant portions of KCSR's operating cash flow. This program, initially scheduled for completion in 1995, was essentially completed in 1994. While certain portions of this program will be ongoing in 1995, KCSR's capital expenditures will be reduced over the next several years. Reduction of capital expenditures will provide cash flow, which is anticipated to be used for repayment of debt and other general corporate purposes. In addition, KCSR acquired locomotives and rolling stock equipment during 1994 through the issuance of $55 million in privately placed Equipment Trust Certificates. Southern Leasing Corporation ("SLC"), included in the Transportation Services business segment, funds growth in its lease portfolio through SLC credit lines and Company financing arrangements and intends to continue to do so in the future. DST capital requirements typically consist of mainframe, peripheral and other data processing computer equipment. In order to accommodate continuing customer growth demands, DST began a physical expansion of its Winchester Data Center during 1994. The Data Center expansion, currently under construction, is expected to require approximately $24 million, will be ultimately financed with mortgage loan indebtedness and is anticipated to be completed in the latter half of 1995. When completed, the Data Center expansion will effectively double the size of the facility and allow for increased DST processing capacity. DST management continually monitors its computer capacity needs to accommodate customer growth. During 1994, DST entered into transactions for the termination of certain mainframe computer equipment leases and purchase of other mainframe equipment in the amount of $11 million, which was funded through vendor arranged financing. In 1993 and 1992, DST purchased data processing equipment in the amount of $26 and $27 million, respectively, through bank term financing. Additionally, in 1993, DST entered into a sale/leaseback transaction of certain mainframe computer equipment in the amount of $16.6 million. In the last several years, Janus has upgraded its customer service capabilities, through new equipment and technology enhancements. Janus' capital requirements are typically funded with existing cash flows and negotiated indebtedness when necessary. (MDA Graph #10) Capital. Debt as a percent of total debt plus equity ("debt ratio") increased from 49.3% at December 31, 1992 to 59.9% at December 31, 1993. The debt ratio declined slightly during 1994 closing at 59.6% on December 31, 1994. The Company's total debt increased to $985.2 million at December 31, 1994 from $839.7 million at December 31, 1993. This increase in debt was, however, accompanied by increases in stockholders' equity from earnings and decreases in ESOP deferred compensation in keeping the debt ratio at approximately 60%. The MidSouth acquisition, completed in 1993, added significant amounts of new indebtedness to the Company's balance sheet. These higher debt amounts were expected as the Company fully absorbed MidSouth operations. During 1992, debt increased ($200 million Note and Debenture offer), but was partially offset by [Page 42] stockholders' equity increases. The current debt ratio at 59.6% is above management's established goals, but was expected in consideration of the MidSouth acquisition in 1993 and acceleration of the railway capital improvement program in 1994. Management intends to reduce relative debt ratios in future years through profitable operations, a reduction of railway capital expenditures, both of which generate positive cash flow for debt retirement, and increases in net worth. In addition, completion of a plan for a public offering of DST common stock, discussed earlier, would significantly change the Company's capital and asset structure. The offering of 51% of DST, if it occurs, would result in the assets and liabilities of DST being removed from the consolidated financial position of the Company. At December 31, 1994, DST had assets totalling $531.7 million. Furthermore, it is anticipated that funds raised by such an offering, if completed, would be used by DST for debt retirement to KCSI and in turn used for repayment of debt by KCSI or repurchase of the Company's Common stock. Completion of these transactions could significantly reduce the Company's debt ratio and strengthen its capital structure and financial position. Components of capital are shown as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Current debt $ 56.4 $ 63.5 $ 62.0 Long-term debt 928.8 776.2 387.0 Total debt 985.2 839.7 449.0 Stockholders' equity 667.2 562.7 462.4 Total debt plus equity $1,652.4 $1,402.4 $ 911.4 Debt as a percent of total debt plus equity 59.6% 59.9% 49.3%
In 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company repurchased $10.3, $9.5 and $30.9 million, respectively, of its Capital stock in accordance with the stock repurchase and stock option plans approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Minority Purchase Agreements. Agreements between KCSI and certain Janus minority owners contain, among other provisions, mandatory stock purchase provisions whereby under certain circumstances, KCSI would be required to purchase the minority interest of Janus at a purchase price based upon a multiple of Janus earnings. In late 1994, the Company was notified that certain Janus minority owners made effective the mandatory purchase provisions for a certain percentage of their ownership. In the aggregate, the shares made effective for mandatory purchase totalled $59 million. Concurrent with the early termination of the Janus compensation arrangements, discussed earlier, recipients of the amounts paid to terminate the arrangements used their after tax net proceeds to purchase certain portions of the shares made effective for mandatory purchase, in early January 1995. In addition, the Janus minority group was restructured to allow for minority ownership by other key Janus employees. These employees purchased other portions of the minority shares made effective for mandatory purchase through payment of cash and creation of recourse loans financed by KCSI in the amount of $10.5 million. The remaining minority shares made effective for mandatory purchase were purchased by Janus for treasury, $6.1 million, and by KCSI for $12.7 million. As a result of the combination of KCSI acquiring additional Janus shares and the reduction of outstanding shares with Janus' treasury purchase, KCSI increased its ownership in Janus from approximately 81% to 83%, upon closing of the transaction in January 1995. The KCSI share purchase resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the value of underlying tangible assets and will be amortized over its estimated economic life. A restructuring of the Janus minority ownership group provides for greater stock ownership in establishing greater emphasis on the growth of Janus. The new minority owners of Janus also have stock purchase provisions which under certain circumstances require KCSI to purchase the minority interest at fair market value. If all of the provisions of the Janus minority owner agreements became effective, KCSI would be required to purchase the respective minority interests, currently estimated at approximately $138 million. The purchase price for the mandatory provisions is based upon a multiple of earnings and/or fair market value determinations depending upon specific agreement terms. In the event such provisions became effective, KCSI would be required to meet such commitments. Overall Liquidity. During the 1994-1992 period, the Company continued to grow and strengthen its relative position in the Transportation Services, Information & Transaction Processing and Financial Asset Management businesses. The Company believes it has adequate liquid resources, which include sufficient lines of credit and businesses which are positive cash flow generators to meet future operating, capital and debt service requirements. [Page 43] OTHER Inflation. Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations in the past three years. Generally accepted accounting principles require the use of historical costs. Replacement cost and related depreciation expense, on a replacement cost basis, of the Company's property would be substantially higher than the historical costs reported. The increase in expenses from these fixed costs, coupled with variable cost increases due to significant inflation, would be difficult to recover through price increases given the competitive environments of the Company's two principal subsidiaries, KCSR and DST. SWEPCO Litigation. As previously disclosed, KCSR was a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Bowie County, Texas by Southwestern Electric Power Company ("SWEPCO"). In that case, SWEPCO alleged that KCSR was required to reduce SWEPCO's coal transportation rate due to changed circumstances allegedly creating a "gross inequity" under the provisions of the coal transportation contract existing among SWEPCO, KCSR and the Burlington Northern Railroad. SWEPCO is KCSR's largest single customer. During 1994, KCSR and SWEPCO settled this litigation and the case against KCSR has been dismissed. This matter was concluded without material adverse effect on the financial condition or future results of operations of the Company. Environmental Matters. Also as previously reported, KCSR has been named as a "potentially responsible party" by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality in a state environmental proceeding involving a location near Bossier City, Louisiana, which was the site of a wood preservative treatment plant (Lincoln Creosoting). KCSR is a former owner of part of the land in question. This matter was the subject of a trial in the United States District Court in Shreveport, Louisiana which was concluded in July of 1993. The court found that Joslyn Manufacturing Company, an operator of the plant, was and is required to indemnify KCSR for damages arising out of plant operations. (KCSR's potential liability is as a property owner rather than as a generator or transporter of contaminants.) The case was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which Court affirmed the U.S. District Court ruling in favor of KCSR. In early, 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") added the Lincoln Creosoting site to its Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation & Liability Act, ("CERCLA," also known as the superfund law), national priority list. Since major remedial work has been performed at this site by Joslyn and KCSR has been held by the Federal District and Appeals Courts to be entitled to indemnity for such costs, it would appear that KCSR should not incur significant remedial liability. At this time, it is not possible to evaluate the potential consequences of remediation at the site. Management's Review of Strategic Alternatives. In late 1993, the Company began the process of a comprehensive study, with the assistance of outside consultants, of the strategic options available to further increase value to the Company's stockholders. This study included evaluation of a wide range of alternatives with the objective of identifying opportunities for reinvestment of earnings, alternatives for financing of capital requirements, methods of increasing the return on the Company's investment in its various business segments and the strategic positions of its primary subsidiaries within the industries in which they operate. The alternatives studied ranged from operational improvements to asset redeployments. The Company recently announced authorization for the development of a plan for a public offering by DST of approximately 51% of DST's common equity. The financial impact of such a decision will produce, the Company believes, substantial advantages to KCSI and its owners. Consideration of strategic alternatives is not a new process for the Company. Many such studies have been performed during KCSI's history to assist the Company in determining the most effective use of its assets. KCSI, as a holding company, is responsible for the management of its primary assets; investments in its subsidiaries. Accordingly, KCSI management continually evaluates its position as to the most effective utilization of these assets. As early as the 1970's and 1980's, KCSI was using investment assets in other companies as dividends to shareholders (Kemper Corporation and MAPCO) as a way of redeploying assets to increase shareholder value. This strategic review is intended to utilize the strength of the Company's business lines and capabilities, provide for future growth opportunities and achieve the Company's strategic financial objectives. 1992 through 1994 and future years have been and will be affected by these strategic decisions. * In the period 1992-1994 KCSI management has followed these strategies: - Drive our strongest businesses. - Capitalize on advantages of location and technology leadership. - Leverage earnings with productivity gains for itself and its customers. [Page 44] - Link new directions to present market and technical strengths. * KCSI management has applied its cash flows primarily as follows: - Strategic and operating needs of Transportation Services, Information & Transaction Processing and Financial Asset Management businesses to the enhancement of KCSI market leadership positions. - Reduction of debt. - Repurchase of KCSI Common stock to the extent possible. - Improvement of the cash return to KCSI stockholders. The Company's dividend to stockholders will be reviewed annually and adjustments considered that are consistent with growth in real earnings and prevailing business conditions. * During 1994, as part of the strategic planning process, the Company sought to link its rail transportation operations with a rail partner to improve its position within the railroad industry while creating a stand alone financial services entity through tax advantaged transactions with minimal regulating risk. This process lead to a proposed transaction with Illinois Central Corporation ("IC") and spin off of the Company's financial services businesses. After much discussion and analysis, however, the Company and IC were unable to reach a definitive agreement on a number of issues and determined that the transaction would not meet the objectives previously established. Accordingly, the Company and IC mutually terminated negotiations on the proposed transaction. The Company will continue to operate its core Transportation operations, which management believes occupies a strong strategic position within the railroad industry and the geographic area it serves. * In early 1995, the KCSI Board of Directors authorized development of a plan for a public offering by DST of approximately 51% of DST's common equity. In accordance with the Company's strategic focus, the purpose of the offering would be to obtain better market recognition of DST's performance and to obtain proceeds for the retirement of debt including debt owed KCSI and general corporate purposes. Such an offering, if completed, would significantly change the financial structure of the Company. Capital raised by the offering may be used for DST debt retirement to KCSI for reduction of KCSI debt, repurchase of KCSI Common stock and general corporate purposes. * The Transportation Services management team is committed to growth in its service area and intends to expand through short-line rail acquisitions and strategic joint ventures. This commitment is evidenced by the following activity: - In February 1995, KCSR filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") seeking approval for construction of an approximate nine mile rail line from KCSR's main line into the Geismar, Louisiana industrial area. The Geismar area is a large industrial corridor, which includes companies engaged in the petro-chemical industry, and is currently served by only one rail carrier. The rail line would expect to be completed in approximately 12 to 18 months after ICC approval. The Geismar project extends KCSR's rail line and could be a significant source of traffic and revenues thereby complementing its business in the petro-chemical industry. The KCSR Geismar line extension has received the support of certain shippers in the Geismar industrial area and would provide those shippers with additional rail storage facilities, production efficiencies and competitive transportation service. - In June 1993, KCSI completed the acquisition of MidSouth Corporation, as previously discussed. The Company has historically been a North/South railroad. This acquisition provides the Company an East/West rail line, which presents the opportunity to be a significant competitor in the intermodal transportation market. In mid-November 1994, KCSR began dedicated through train service for intermodal traffic between Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia in conjunction with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. This acquisition also increased and diversified KCSR's market share in its trade territory. - In May 1992, the KCSR signed an agreement with the Santa Fe Railway to purchase portions of its rail line in the Dallas, Texas area. The sale consists of approximately 90 miles of track and an 80 acre intermodal facility. The agreement is being implemented in phases over several years. Phase I of this agreement was completed in late 1993. The final portion of Phase II is anticipated to be completed in 1995. As a result of the agreement, KCSR has direct access to the Dallas market for the first time in the Company's history. - In 1992, the Company purchased 530 acres of land adjacent to the Company's Pabtex, Inc., coal and [Page 45] petroleum coke storage, barge and ship loading facility in Port Arthur, Texas. The 530 acres includes 4,000 linear feet of deep water frontage on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, which has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Intercoastal Waterway. This acquisition increases the Transportation Service's deep water access in the Port Arthur, Texas area and will permit a doubling of capacity of the Pabtex coal and coke facility for future expansion of the petroleum coke and coal import/export business and development of additional port operations in KCSR's service area. The Company owns 1,025 acres of property located on the waterfront in the Port Arthur, Texas area, which includes 22,000 linear feet of deep water frontage and three docks. Port Arthur is an uncongested port with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 75% of this property is available for development. - In April 1992, KCSR signed a letter of intent for the purchase of all of the capital stock of the Graysonia, Nashville & Ashdown Railway ("GNA"). The GNA connects with KCSR at Ashdown, Arkansas and extends 32 miles east. The purchase price also included industrial real estate. Acquisition of the GNA received ICC approval and was merged into KCSR in June 1993. These transactions fit within the strategic business plan for extension of KCSR rail property and increase of the Company's traffic and industry base. * DST's growth in recent years has come not only from growth in its core mutual fund processing business but also by product expansion and acquisitions designed to strengthen market and strategic positions. - DST's strategic merger of Vantage with Continuum and additional Continuum investments in 1994, as discussed earlier, have increased the opportunities in the insurance industry in both domestic and international markets. Continuum has been a good partner with DST in the expansion of DST's AWD(R) product within the insurance industry. - In 1991, DST began evaluating the feasibility of marketing its products outside the United States and also products that would serve foreign markets in DST's product lines. In 1992, DST, together with State Street Bank and Clarke and Tilley, Ltd. (a United Kingdom software firm), formed Clarke and Tilley Data Services ("CTDS"). CTDS is developing a unit trust accounting system for the U.K. and Luxembourg markets, incorporating DST workflow management and image technology. - During 1993, DST completed the acquisition of Clarke & Tilley, Ltd., (100% owned), which markets investment management software primarily for use in Europe and the Pacific Rim, and Corfax Benefit Systems, Ltd., (100% owned), a Canadian company, which processes shareowner transactions for mutual funds and pension accounts in Canada. These strategic acquisitions provide DST with future growth opportunities for expansion of its products into international markets, especially Europe and Canada. - The formation, expansion, and internal reorganization of OTI provides a greater variety and number of products which DST businesses can offer to its existing customer base. * KCSI has been committed to the mutual fund industry since 1962 and intends to continue and expand that commitment in seeking strong mutual fund growth and increase in its mutual fund servicing businesses. - In 1994, Janus introduced the Janus Overseas Fund, an international equity fund and expanded product offerings for the Janus Aspen Series, initiated in 1993. During 1993, Janus introduced three new fund products: Janus Mercury Fund, an equity fund; Janus Federal Tax Exempt Fund, a tax exempt income fund; and the Janus Aspen Series, which are annuity products. During 1992, Janus introduced three new mutual funds: Janus Enterprise Fund, an equity fund; Janus Balanced Fund, a combination equity/fixed income fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund, a short-term income fund. - In 1994, KCSI acquired a controlling interest in Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger") by increasing its ownership to over 80% from the 18% interest purchased in 1992. Berger is the investment advisor to the Berger One Hundred Fund, Berger One Hundred and One Fund, Berger Small Company Growth Fund as well as private and other accounts. * In 1992 and 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized 2-for-1 Common stock splits effected in the form of stock dividends. Consideration of the Company's strategic alternatives, including the items mentioned above, are expected to continue and to present growth opportunities in future years. [Page 46] KCSI Management Report on Responsibility for Financial Reporting The accompanying financial statements and related notes of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries were prepared by management in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances. In preparing the financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates based on currently available information. Management is responsible for not only the financial information but also all other information in this Annual Report. Representations contained elsewhere in this Annual Report are consistent with the financial statements and supplementary financial information contained in the Financial Section. The Company has a formalized system of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that its financial records are reliable. Management monitors the system for compliance, and the Company's internal auditors measure its effectiveness and recommend possible improvements thereto.

The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role in the area of financial reporting and internal accounting control through its Audit Committee. This committee, composed solely of non-management directors, meets regularly with the independent accountants, management and internal auditors to monitor the proper discharge of responsibilities relative to internal accounting controls and to evaluate the quality of external financial reporting. Price Waterhouse LLP Report of Independent Accountants To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. As discussed in Notes 7 and 10 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes and other postretirement benefits in 1993 to conform with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 109 and 106. /s/ Price Waterhouse LLP Kansas City, Missouri February 23, 1995 [Page 47] CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME Dollars in Millions, Except per Share Amounts Years Ended December 31

[Page 51] NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("Company" or "KCSI") is a diversified holding company, which comprises businesses engaged in Transportation Services, Information & Transaction Processing and Financial Asset Management. Note 13 further describes the operations of the Company. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles. Use of the term "Company" as described in this financial section means Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. as a holding company and all of its consolidated subsidiary companies. Significant accounting and reporting policies are described below. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The equity method of accounting is used for all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence but not more than 50% voting control interest; the cost method of accounting is generally used for investments of less than 20% voting control interest. Cash Equivalents. Short-term liquid investments with a maturity of generally three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Carrying value approximates market value due to the short-term nature of these investments. Inventories. Inventories held for resale are valued at the lower of average cost or market; materials and supplies inventories for transportation operations are valued at average cost. Properties and Depreciation. Properties are stated at cost. Additions and renewals constituting a unit of property are capitalized and all properties are depreciated over the estimated remaining life of such assets. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of transportation equipment and road property normally retired, less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation. Conversely, the cost of industrial and rental property retired, and the cost of transportation property abnormally retired, together with accumulated depreciation thereon, are eliminated from the property accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in earnings. Depreciation for transportation operations is computed using composite straight-line rates for financial statement purposes. The Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") approves the depreciation rates used by The Kansas City Southern Railway Company ("KCSR"). KCSR evaluates depreciation rates for properties and equipment and implements ICC approved rates. Periodic revision of rates have not had a material effect on operating results. Unit depreciation methods, employing both accelerated and straight-line rates, are employed in other business segments. Accelerated depreciation is used for income tax purposes. The ranges of annual depreciation rates for financial statement purposes are: Transportation Road and structures 1% - 19% Rolling stock & equipment 1% - 24% Other equipment 2% - 6% Industrial and rental property 2% - 25% Capitalized leases 5% - 17%
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its operating properties. If it is determined that the carrying value of properties exceeds the discounted value of future estimated cash flows over the remaining productive lives of the assets, such excess is charged to earnings. Software Development. The Company's Information & Transaction Processing subsidiary, DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), expenses as incurred development and maintenance expenditures for its proprietary software. Advertising. The Company expenses all advertising as incurred. Direct response advertising for which future economic benefits are probable and specifically attributable to the advertising is not material. Intangibles. Intangibles principally represent the excess of cost over the fair value of net underlying assets of acquired companies using purchase accounting and are amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 7 to 40 years. Income Taxes. Deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recorded by the liability method. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of the deferred income tax items and immediately recognizes changes in income tax laws upon enactment. The income statement effect is derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance sheet. Prior to January 1, 1993, provision was generally not made for possible deferred tax liabilities for unremitted earnings of [Page 52] corporate unconsolidated affiliates for which the Company's interest is accounted for under the equity method, as those earnings were expected to be reinvested. Beginning in 1993, on a prospective basis, deferred tax liabilities are provided on the portion of unremitted earnings from such affiliates which would not qualify for dividend exclusion had the earnings been distributed. The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings through December 31, 1994 was $81 million, which includes $48.4 million related to Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, a DST affiliate. Tax expense, should these earnings be remitted to the Company in the form of dividends, would amount to $5.7 million at currently enacted tax rates. Deferred taxes actually provided through December 31, 1994 were $2.7 million. Treasury Stock. The excess of par over cost of the Preferred shares held in Treasury is credited to capital surplus. Common shares held in Treasury are accounted for as if they were retired and the excess of cost over par value of such shares is charged to capital surplus. Stock Plans. Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options or subscriptions are credited to the appropriate capital accounts in the year they are exercised. The Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plans' ("ESOP") loan principal payments are accounted for as employee benefit expense, interest payments are recorded as interest expense, and quarterly dividends paid from retained earnings on the ESOP stock are used to partially service the ESOP loan. Because the ESOP loan is guaranteed by KCSI, the borrowings are reported as long-term debt and corresponding amounts, representing "ESOP deferred compensation," are reduced as the related compensation expense is recognized by the Company. Earnings per Share. On January 28, 1993, the Company authorized a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend paid March 17, 1993. On January 31, 1992, the Company authorized a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend paid March 17, 1992. Appropriate share and per share data have been restated to reflect both of these stock splits. The Company uses the Primary method for computing earnings per share. The difference between the Primary and Fully-Diluted methods is not material. Stockholders' Equity. Information regarding the Company's capital stock at December 31, 1994 follows:
Shares Shares Authorized Issued $25 Par, 4% noncumulative, Preferred stock 840,000 649,736 $1 Par, Preferred stock 2,000,000 None $1 Par, Series A, Preferred stock 150,000 None $1 Par, Series B, Preferred stock 1,000,000 1,000,000 $.01 Par, Common stock 400,000,000 48,402,192
The Company's Series B Preferred stock, issued in 1993, has a $200 per share liquidation preference and is convertible to Common at a ratio of 4 to 1. Shares outstanding are as follows, at December 31, (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 $25 Par, Preferred stock 243 243 252 $.01 Par, Common stock 43,518 42,798 41,616
Retained earnings include equity in unconsolidated affiliates of $78.3, $53.2 and $42.9 million at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. [Page 53] Note 2. Mergers and Acquisitions On October 14, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger"). The Company made payments of $47.5 million, in cash, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, (the "Agreement"). The Agreement also provides for additional purchase price payments, totalling approximately $62.4 million, contingent upon attaining certain levels (up to $10 billion) of assets under management, as defined in the Agreement, over a five year period. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, increased the Company's ownership in Berger from approximately 18% to over 80%. Adjustments to appropriate asset and liability balances have been recorded based upon estimated fair values of such assets and liabilities. The transaction resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the fair value of underlying tangible assets. The intangible amounts will be amortized over their estimated economic life of 15 years, subject to completion of an economic life analysis. The financial statements of Berger were consolidated into the Company effective with the closing of the transaction. Assuming the transaction had been completed on January 1, 1994, the addition of Berger's revenues and net income, including adjustments to reflect the effects of the acquisition, on a pro forma basis, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994, would have had an immaterial effect on the consolidated results of the Company. On January 31, 1995, DST completed the sale of its 50% interest in IFTC Holdings, Inc., which wholly-owns Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, to State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street"). At closing, DST received 2,986,111 shares of State Street common stock in a tax free exchange (representing an approximate 4% ownership interest in State Street). As a result of this transaction, DST recognized a gain on the sale of an equity investment and after consideration of appropriate tax effects recognized a net gain of $4.7 million in first quarter 1995. With the closing of the transaction, IFTC ceases to be an unconsolidated affiliate of DST and no further equity in earnings of IFTC will be recorded by DST. DST recognized equity in earnings from IFTC of $6.5, $4.8 and $4.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The Company completed the acquisition of MidSouth Corporation ("MidSouth") on June 10, 1993. The purchase price for the acquisition of the MidSouth common stock aggregated approximately $213.5 million paid in cash by KCSI to holders of MidSouth's common stock and in connection with the exercise of certain options held by MidSouth employees and others. Liabilities were assumed in the amount of $306.9 million. The MidSouth transaction, which was accounted for as a purchase, represented a significant transaction for the Company. Results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 include the operations of MidSouth as a consolidated subsidiary effective with the closing of the transaction. Adjustments were recorded to appropriate asset and liability balances based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities. Based upon these adjustments, the total purchase price exceeded the fair value of the underlying net assets by a total of approximately $98 million and is being amortized over a period of 40 years. Additional assets are being depreciated over lives ranging from 5 to 35 years. Certain unaudited pro forma financial information, regarding results of operations assuming the MidSouth transaction had been completed on January 1, 1993 and 1992, respectively, follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
Years Ended December 31 1993 1992 Revenues $1,010.2 $ 856.1 Income before cumulative effect of accounting changes 98.5 67.9 Net income 93.4 67.9 Primary earnings per share: Before cumulative effect of accounting changes $ 2.19 $ 1.53 After cumulative effect of accounting changes 2.08 1.53
During second quarter 1993, DST completed the acquisitions of Clarke & Tilley Ltd., (100% owned), a United Kingdom company, which markets investment management software primarily for use in Europe and the Pacific Rim; Corfax Benefit Systems, Ltd., (100% owned), a Canadian company, which processes shareowner transactions for mutual funds and pension accounts in Canada; and DBS Systems Corporation, (60% owned), a United States company, which has developed a software billing system for the direct broadcast satellite industry. During the third quarter 1993, DST acquired Belvedere Financial Systems, Inc., (100% owned), which develops and markets portfolio accounting and investment man- [Page 54] agement systems. Each of these transactions was accounted for as a purchase. The total purchase price exceeded the fair value of the underlying net assets, and is being amortized over a period of 7 to 20 years. Cash paid for these transactions was approximately $15.3 million and liabilities assumed were $10.3 million. Effective September 30, 1993, DST completed the merger of its 90.5% owned subsidiary, Vantage Computer Systems, Inc. ("Vantage"), into a subsidiary of The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum"). DST received approximately 3.6 million shares of Continuum stock. As a result of this transaction and through additional purchases of Continuum stock, DST owned approximately 24% of the outstanding common stock of Continuum at December 31, 1993. In 1994, DST purchased additional Continuum shares through privately negotiated transactions. Accordingly, at December 31, 1994, DST owned approximately 29% (5.5 million shares) of Continuum's outstanding common stock. In the initial exchange, DST exchanged Vantage stock with a book value of approximately $17 million for Continuum stock with a then current market value of approximately $62 million. DST accounted for the initial exchange as a non-cash, non-taxable exchange in investment basis of Vantage for an investment in Continuum. Accordingly, no gain recognition was associated with the transaction. Continuum is a publicly traded international consulting and computer services firm based in Austin, Texas, which primarily serves the needs of life, and property and casualty insurance companies for computer software and services.

Supplemental Schedule of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities. DST acquired $29.7, $21 and $17 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, in computer mainframe equipment and software for the Winchester Data Center. These purchases were financed through bank term loans, with equipment manufacturers and/or software vendors, and accordingly, required no direct outlay of cash. In first quarter of 1994, KCSI issued approximately 234,000 shares of Common stock under the Seventh Offering of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These shares, totalling a purchase price of approximately $4.4 million, were subscribed and paid for through employee payroll deductions, in 1993. As described in greater detail in Note 6, the Company issued $200 million in Notes and Debentures in 1992, and $200 million in Notes in 1993. As part of these transactions, the Company incurred $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in discount and underwriting fees which were transferred directly to the underwriter. The discount and underwriting fees represent non-cash amounts, which are being amortized over the respective terms of the Notes and Debentures. In 1993, DST entered into a sale/leaseback of certain mainframe computer equipment. As part of this transaction, the buyer assumed certain debt obligations related to the computer equipment in the amount of $16.6 million, which provided no cash flow to DST. Property acquired under capital leases was $3.4, $1.3 and $1.4 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Such acquisitions require no direct outlay of cash. [Page 55] Note 4.

Additionally, as a result of the 1993 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the Company will be required to "mark to market" its investment in State Street Boston Corporation. Transactions Between Unconsolidated Affiliates. Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. ("BFDS") is a corporate joint venture of DST and State Street Boston Corporation, the parent of State Street Bank and Trust Company. BFDS performs shareholder accounting services for companies using State Street Bank and Trust Company as their transfer agent and DST's data processing services, mutual fund recordkeeping and shareholder accounting systems, and securities transfer system. Prior to the sale of DST's interest in Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), discussed in Note 2, IFTC was a corporate joint venture of DST and Kemper Financial Services, Inc. IFTC provides transfer agent and custodial services primarily to the mutual fund industry and utilizes DST's portfolio accounting, securities transfer, and mutual fund systems. DST received advance payments from IFTC for services to be provided in the subsequent fiscal year. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, these advance payments amounted to $4 and $3 million, respectively; none at December 31, 1994. Argus Health Systems, Inc. ("Argus") is a corporate joint venture of DST which provides pharmaceutical claims processing services for the health care industry. Argus uses DST's data processing services. DST received cash advances from Argus totalling $5 million as of December 31, 1993. Midland Data Systems, Inc. ("MDS") is a corporate joint venture of DST, which was awarded contracts with the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") for the operation (using DST's Winchester Data Center) of an Asset Management System and a Control Totals Module System for use by the RTC. In 1994, the RTC converted off the Midland system; however, Midland continues to perform programming work for the RTC related to the system. In 1992, Midland Loan Services L.P. ("MLS") was formed to provide comprehensive commercial loan servicing for assets, performing and non-performing loans, and related asset management services for governmental and institutional clients. MDS is the Corporate General Partner of MLS. The Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum") became an equity affiliate of DST during 1993 when DST exchanged its interest in Vantage, as discussed in Note 2. Subsequent to this transaction, DST and Continuum [Page 56] reached an agreement whereby DST will provide all of Continuum's North American operations data processing requirements through use of DST's Winchester Data Center. DST revenues associated with the above unconsolidated affiliates were $76, $74 and $50 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Accounts receivable include amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates of $14, $16 and $13 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, for services provided by DST in the ordinary course of business and payable at usual trade terms.

[Page 59] New KCSI Credit Agreements. During 1994, the Company established or increased credit agreements with several lending institutions. These new or expanded credit lines increased the Company's borrowing ability by $150 million. These agreements bear interest rates below prime. Proceeds from these agreements have been used to finance the Berger acquisition and subsidiary working capital requirements. Remaining credit capacity under these agreements is intended for general corporate purposes. These agreements require commitment or facility fees ranging from .10-.125% per annum and have provisions similar to those included in the Company's $250 million credit agreement, discussed below. At December 31, 1994, the Company had an aggregate of $115 million of indebtedness outstanding on these agreements. KCSI $250 Million Credit Agreement. On December 8, 1992, the Company established a credit agreement in the amount of $250 million. A commitment fee of .25% per annum is required on the unused portion. This agreement replaced the Company's then existing $100 million credit agreement, which had been in place since 1989. The revolving credit commitment reduces to $188 million on June 8, 1996; $125 million on December 8, 1996; $63 million on June 8, 1997 and final maturity is due December 8, 1997. Proceeds have been used, in part, to fund acquisition of MidSouth Corporation and refinance certain MidSouth indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. Among other provisions, the agreement limits subsidiary indebtedness, sale of assets, coverage ratios and requires minimum consolidated net worth of $375 million plus 50% of net income after December 31, 1992. Public Debt Transactions. On July 1, 1992, the Company issued $100 million 7.875% Notes due 2002 and $100 million 8.8% Debentures due 2022 under a $300 million debt securities registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 7.875% Notes are not redeemable prior to their maturity in 2002, the 8.8% Debentures are redeemable on or after July 1, 2002 at a premium of 104.04%, which declines to par on or after July 1, 2012. Proceeds from the debt offer have been used to repay borrowings under then existing revolving credit agreements. The Company used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes including debt repayments, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of or investments in businesses and assets and acquisition of the Company's capital stock. On March 3, 1993, the Company issued $100 million of 6.625% Notes due 2005 under the remaining 1992 registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. Proceeds were used for debt repayment by DST and Southern Credit Corporation, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of or investments in businesses, and assets and acquisition of the Company's capital stock. On June 24, 1993, the Company issued $100 million of 5.75% Notes due in 1998 under a $200 million 1993 debt securities registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. The net proceeds were used to refinance certain MidSouth debt. This debt was issued at a total discount of $2.8 million which is being amortized over the respective debt maturities on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different from the interest method. KCSI ESOP. In 1988, the Company established a $39 million leveraged ESOP (see Stockholders' Equity Note 8). Related indebtedness is repayable over ten years, and guaranteed by the Company. Among other provisions, the KCSI ESOP loan agreement requires minimum consolidated tangible net worth (stockholders' equity plus deferred income taxes less intangibles) of $250 million. In 1994, the Company made contributions to the ESOP plan sufficient to retire $5.6 million of indebtedness in advance of its scheduled maturity. Railway Indebtedness. KCSR has purchased rolling stock under conditional sales agreements, equipment trust certificates and capitalized lease obligations, which equipment has been pledged as collateral for the related indebtedness.
Credit Lines. Unused lines of credit at December 31, 1994 follow (in millions): Commitment or Facility Lines of Credit Fee Total Unused KCSI .10-.25% $450.0 $131.0 DST Systems, Inc. None 28.9 22.2 Southern Credit Corporation .375% 65.0 19.0 KCSR .1875% 5.0 Total $548.9 $172.2
[Page 60] Other Agreements, Provisions and Restrictions. As previously noted, the Company and several of its consolidated subsidiaries have debt agreements containing restrictions on dividends, loans, advances and transfers of assets to the parent company, limits on guarantees and leasing commitments, and maintenance of minimum levels of working capital. At December 31, 1994, the Company was in compliance with provisions and restrictions of these agreements. Unrestricted retained earnings at December 31, 1994 were $96.9 million. Guarantees. The Company and its subsidiaries are guarantors of $1.8 million principal indebtedness of partnerships and other entities involving the Company or its subsidiaries. These guarantees represent "off balance sheet" contingent liabilities. Leases and Debt Maturities. The Company and its subsidiaries lease transportation equipment, and office and other operating facilities under various capital and operating leases. Rental expenses under operating leases were $53, $33 and $25 million for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Minimum annual payments and present value thereof, under existing capital leases, other debt maturities and minimum annual rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows (in millions):
Capital Leases Minimum Net Lease Less Present Other Operating Payments Interest Value Debt Total Leases 1995 $ 3.1 $ 1.0 $ 2.1 $ 54.3 $ 56.4 $ 50.3 1996 2.3 .7 1.6 28.0 29.6 46.3 1997 1.6 .5 1.1 26.1 27.2 34.5 1998 1.0 .4 .6 111.2 111.8 27.0 1999 .8 .3 .5 11.1 11.6 21.8 Later years 5.4 1.4 4.0 744.6 748.6 52.0 Total $ 14.2 $ 4.3 $ 9.9 $975.3 $985.2 $231.9
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt. Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company and its subsidiaries for indebtedness with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt was approximately $959, $903 and $463 million at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Note 7. Income Taxes The Company adopted, effective January 1, 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 109 was issued in February 1992 as an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS 96"). The Company had previously adopted SFAS 96 effective January 1, 1988. The adoption of SFAS 109 resulted in a $970,000 charge to earnings in the first quarter of 1993. Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, the deferred tax liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the liability for deferred taxes. The principal difference between the Company's assets and liabilities recorded for financial statement and tax return purposes is accumulated depreciation. [Page 61]
Tax Expense. Income tax expense attributable to continuing operations, consists of the following components (in millions): 1994 1993 1992 Current Federal $40.2 $31.7 $25.4 State and local 3.3 3.2 1.8 Total current 43.5 34.9 27.2 Deferred Federal 16.0 24.5 6.9 Federal enacted rate change 3.4 State and local 4.0 6.2 1.1 Total deferred 20.0 34.1 8.0 Total income tax expense $63.5 $69.0 $35.2
Deferred Taxes. Deferred taxes are recorded based upon differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and available tax credit carryovers. Temporary differences which give rise to a significant portion of federal deferred tax expense (benefit) applicable to continuing operations are as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Depreciation $16.7 $19.5 $ 9.0 Deferred revenue (.3) (1.6) (.4) Deferred gain on asset dispositions 1.2 .3 AMT credit and NOL carryovers (5.9) (.3) 1.4 Other expenses for financial reporting purposes not currently deductible for tax purposes 4.3 9.0 (2.7) Other, net 1.2 .1 (.7) Total $16.0 $27.9 $ 6.9
The federal and state deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax (assets) recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, follow (in millions):
1994 1993 Liabilities: Depreciation $259.2 $242.5 Equity, unconsolidated affiliates 5.1 1.3 Gross deferred tax liabilities 264.3 243.8 Assets: NOL and AMT credit carryovers (31.7) (23.2) Book reserves not currently deductible for tax (20.0) (23.2) Deferred compensation and other employee benefits (13.1) (14.4) Deferred revenue (5.0) (4.7) Vacation accrual (3.5) (2.8) Foreign NOL carryforwards (1.9) (.7) Other, net (5.8) (5.9) Gross deferred tax assets (81.0) (74.9) Deferred tax asset valuation allowance 1.9 .7 Net deferred tax liability $185.2 $169.6
[Page 62] Management has determined, based upon the Company's history of prior operating earnings and its expectations for the future, that except for the deferred tax valuation allowance provided for foreign NOL carryforwards, operating income of the Company will, more likely than not, be sufficient to recognize fully the above gross deferred tax assets. Tax Rates. Differences between the Company's effective income tax rates applicable to continuing operations and the U.S. federal income tax statutory rates of 35% in 1994 and 1993 and 34% in 1992, are as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 1992 Income tax expense using the statutory rate in effect $60.8 $61.2 $35.4 Tax effect of: Unremitted earnings of equity investees (6.3) (3.7) (3.0) Cumulative effect of enacted 1% federal tax rate increase 3.4 Other, net 1.7 (1.3) (.1) Federal income tax expense 56.2 59.6 32.3 State and local income tax expense 7.3 9.4 2.9 Total $63.5 $69.0 $35.2 Effective tax rate 36.6% 39.4% 33.9%
Tax Carryovers. At December 31, 1994, the Company had $11.7 million of alternative minimum tax credit carryover. This credit can be carried forward indefinitely and is available on a "tax return basis" to reduce future federal income taxes payable. The MidSouth Corporation generated $3.4 million of the above alternative minimum tax credit prior to its acquisition by the Company. The amount of federal net operating loss carryover generated by the MidSouth Corporation prior to its acquisition was $57.1 million with expiration dates beginning in the year 2001. The use of preacquisition net operating losses and tax credit carryovers is subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not anticipate that these limitations will affect utilization of the carryovers prior to their expiration. Tax Examinations. Examinations of the consolidated federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") have been completed for the years 1984-1989 and the IRS has proposed $14.6 million in tax assessments for these years. In addition, other taxing authorities have also completed examinations principally through 1992, and have proposed additional tax assessments aggregating $2.4 million, before benefit for federal income tax deductions related thereto. Since most of these asserted tax deficiencies represent temporary differences, subsequent payments of taxes will not require additional charges to income tax expense. In addition, accruals have been made for interest (net of tax benefit) for estimated settlement of the proposed tax assessments. Thus, management believes that final settlement of these matters will not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. [Page 63] Note 8. Stockholders' Equity Establishment of Par Value for Common Stock. On May 6, 1994, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to set a par value for the Common stock and increase its authorized shares. The amendment established a par value of $.01 per Common share, which had previously been no par, and had the effect of reallocating amounts between categories within stockholders' equity but had no overall effect upon the total amount of stockholders' equity. In addition, the number of authorized Common shares was increased from 100 million to 400 million. Stock Option Plans. Employee Stock Option Plans established in 1978, 1983 and 1987 provide for the granting of options to purchase up to 2,800,000 (pre-splits) shares of the Company's Common stock by officers and other designated employees. In addition, the Company established a 1991 plan which authorized 2% of the outstanding shares available for grant; the Board of Directors amended the 1991 plan in November 1991, to provide for the granting of two million shares in lieu of the 2% of outstanding shares. The amendment was approved by KCSI stockholders in May 1992. In addition, the Company established a 1993 Directors' Stock Option Plan with a maximum of 120,000 shares for grant. Shares authorized for the 1991 Plan were adjusted for the stock split to 4,000,000 and the Plan was amended to increase the number of shares authorized by 3,400,000 shares for a total of 7.4 million shares. Such options have been granted at 100% of the average market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and may not be exercised sooner than one year, nor longer than ten years following the date of the grant, except that options outstanding for six months or more, with limited rights, become immediately exercisable upon certain defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company. The Plans include provisions for stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and limited rights ("LRs"), but, in 1987, substantially all outstanding SARs and related options were exchanged for "bonus" options and LRs. In addition, special stock options, SARs and LRs, exercisable only upon certain defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company, were granted to certain officers and directors of the Company. All outstanding options include LRs. Relevant information is summarized below:
1994 1993 1992 Stock Options: Outstanding at January 1 3,935,800 5,527,648 2,341,934 Exercised (904,235) (1,987,848) (796,360) Cancelled/Expired (30,000) (4,000) (18,500) Granted 278,950 400,000 1,236,750 Effect of Stock Splits 2,763,824 Outstanding at December 31 3,280,515 3,935,800 5,527,648 Exercisable at December 31 2,488,665 2,851,400 3,567,248 Exercise Price, December 31: for all outstanding $8.7969 $8.7969 $8.50 options to $49.00 to $41.5625 to $22.66 for exercisable $8.7969 $8.7969 $8.50 options to $41.5625 to $22.6563 to $13.06
Shares available for future grants at December 31, 1994 aggregated 4,650,146. Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). In 1987 and 1988, KCSI and DST established leveraged ESOP plans for its employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, which collectively purchased $69 million of KCSI Common stock from Treasury at a then current market price of $49 per share. The indebtedness, which was guaranteed by KCSI and DST, is repayable over ten years. During 1990, the KCSI and DST ESOP plans were merged into one plan known as the KCSI ESOP. This merger did not change any substantial terms, repayment provisions or guarantees of the individual components of indebtedness. Employee benefit expense aggregated $15.5, $8.1 and $18.1 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, for the ESOP. Interest incurred on the indebtedness was $1.2, $1.8 and $2.8 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, [Page 64] respectively. Dividends used to service the ESOP indebtedness were $1.3, $.8 and $1.0 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. In December 1993, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 93-6 ("SOP 93-6") "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. Certain of the Company's ESOP shares are grandfathered under the provisions of SOP 93-6. In 1994, the Company contributed $11.5 million to the ESOP which was used by the plan administrator to purchase 352,000 shares of KCSI Common stock in the open market for future allocation to plan participants. These new ESOP shares are not grandfathered under the provisions of SOP 93-6. Disclosures regarding the Company's ESOP plan follow, (in millions at December 31, 1994): Number of Common shares allocated to plan participants 4.6 Cost of unallocated grandfathered ESOP shares $11.1 Fair value of committed to be allocated not grandfathered ESOP shares $10.9
Employee Plan Funding Trust. On October 1, 1993, KCSI transferred one million shares of KCSI Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") to the Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. Employee Plan Funding Trust ("the Trust"), a grantor trust established by KCSI. The purchase price of the stock, based upon an independent valuation, was $200 million, which the Trust financed through KCSI. The indebtedness of the Trust to KCSI is repayable over 27 years with interest at 6% per year, with no principal payments in the first three years. The Trust, which is administered by an independent bank trustee and consolidated into the Company's financial statements, will repay the indebtedness to KCSI utilizing dividends and other investment income as well as other cash obtained from KCSI. As the debt is reduced, shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, or shares of Common stock acquired on conversion, will be released and available for distribution to various KCSI employee benefit plans, including its ESOP, Stock Option Plan and Stock Purchase Plans. No principal payments have been made and accordingly, no shares have been released or are available for distribution to these plans. The Series B Preferred Stock, which has a $10 per share (5%) annual dividend and a $200 per share liquidation preference, is convertible into Common stock at an initial ratio of four shares of Common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable after 18 months at a specified premium and under certain other circumstances. The Series B Preferred Stock can be held only by the Trust or its beneficiaries, the employee benefit plans of KCSI. The full terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations approved by the Board of Directors and filed in Delaware. Treasury Stock. The Company issued 721,431; 1,187,224 and 1,020,514 shares of Common stock from Treasury, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, to fund the exercise of options and subscriptions under various employee stock option and purchase plans. Treasury stock previously acquired had been accounted for as if retired. The Company purchased 1,376; 5,443 and 1,575,410 shares in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Stock Purchase Plan. The Plan, established in 1977, provides to substantially all full-time employees of the Company, certain subsidiaries and certain other affiliated entities, the right to subscribe to an aggregate of 7.6 million shares of Common stock. The purchase price for shares under any stock offering is to be 85% of the average market price on either the exercise date or the offering date, whichever is lower, but in no event less than $.98 per share. In December 1992, the Company initiated the seventh offering under the stock purchase plan. The purchase price under this offering at 85% of the average market price on the offering date was $18.75. Employees of the Company subscribed to 247,254 shares under this offering, of which, 233,926 shares were issued in January 1994. The Company initiated the eighth offering under the stock purchase plan in December, 1993. The purchase price under this offering at 85% of the average market price on the offering date was $38.20. Employees of the Company subscribed to 220,576 shares under this offering. At December 31, 1994, there were 4,051,255 shares available for future offerings. Restricted Stock. The Company issued 7,300 and 144,500 shares of restricted stock, in 1993 and 1992, respectively, to senior management executives of KCSI and certain subsidiaries at then current market prices ranging between $14.86 $41.5625 per share. These shares vest ratably over a five year period. [Page 65] Note 9. Minority Interest Purchase Agreements. Agreements between KCSI and Janus minority owners, contain among other provisions, mandatory stock purchase provisions whereby under certain circumstances, KCSI would be required to purchase the minority interest at a purchase price based upon a multiple of Janus earnings. In late 1994, the Company was notified that certain Janus minority owners made effective the mandatory purchase provisions for a certain percentage of their ownership. In the aggregate, the shares made effective for mandatory purchase totalled $59 million. Concurrent with the notification of these mandatory purchase provisions, the Company negotiated the early termination of certain Janus compensation arrangements, which began in 1991. The compensation arrangements permitted individuals to earn units which vested over time, based upon Janus earnings. These arrangements were scheduled to be fully vested at the end of 1996. The negotiated termination resulted in payments of $48 million in cash, by Janus, of which approximately $21 million had been accrued, upon vesting, in 1994 and previous years. Recipients of amounts paid to terminate the arrangements used their after tax net proceeds to purchase certain portions of the shares made effective for mandatory purchase, in early 1995. In addition, the Janus minority group was restructured to allow for minority ownership by other key Janus employees. These employees purchased other portions of the minority shares made effective for mandatory purchase through payment of cash and creation of recourse loans financed by KCSI in the amount of $10.5 million. The remaining minority shares made effective for mandatory purchase were purchased by Janus for treasury, $6.1 million, and by KCSI for $12.7 million. As a result of the combination of KCSI acquiring additional Janus shares and the reduction of outstanding shares with Janus' treasury purchase, KCSI increased its ownership in Janus from approximately 81% to 83%, upon closing of the transaction in January 1995. The KCSI share purchase resulted in the recording of intangibles as the purchase price exceeded the value of underlying tangible assets and will be amortized over its estimated economic life. The new minority owners of Janus also have mandatory stock purchase provisions which under certain circumstances require KCSI to purchase the minority interest at fair market value. If all of the provisions of the Janus minority owner agreements became effective, KCSI would be required to purchase the respective minority interests, currently estimated at approximately $138 million. The purchase price for the mandatory provisions is based upon a multiple of earnings and/or fair market value determinations depending upon specific agreement terms. Note 10. Profit Sharing and Other Postretirement Benefits Profit Sharing. Qualified profit sharing plans are maintained for most employees not included in collective bargaining agreements.Contributions for the Company and its subsidiaries are made at the discretion of the Boards of Directors in amounts not to exceed the maximum allowable for federal income tax purposes. Profit sharing expense was $.8, $4.6 and $3.8 million in the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Other Postretirement Benefits. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," ("SFAS 106"), effective January 1, 1993. The Company and its Transportation subsidiaries provide certain medical, life and other post-retirement benefits other than pensions to its retirees. The medical and life plans are available to employees [Page 66] not covered under collective bargaining arrangements, who have attained age 60 and rendered ten years of service. Individuals employed as of December 31, 1992 were excluded from a specific service requirement. The medical plan is contributory and provides benefits for retirees, their covered dependents and beneficiaries. Benefit expense begins to accrue at age 40. The medical plan was amended effective January 1, 1993 to provide for annual adjustment of retiree contributions and also contains, depending on the plan coverage selected, certain deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and coordination with Medicare. The life insurance plan is non-contributory and covers retirees only. The Company's policy, in most cases, is to fund benefits payable under these plans as the obligations become due. However, certain plan assets do exist with respect to life insurance benefits. The following table displays a reconciliation of the plans' obligations and assets at December 31, 1994, December 31 and January 1, 1993, (in millions):
Dec. 31, Dec. 31, Jan.1, 1994 1993 1993 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 7.9 $ 8.0 $ 7.7 Fully eligible active plan participants 1.1 .9 .7 Other active plan participants 1.4 2.0 1.6 Plan assets (1.3) (1.3) (1.3) Accrued postretirement benefit obligation $ 9.1 $ 9.6 $ 8.7
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components (in millions):
1994 1993 Service cost $ .4 $ .2 Interest cost .8 .6 Return on plan assets (.1) (.1) Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 1.1 $ .7
The entire accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was charged to earnings in first quarter 1993 in the amount of $5.5 million, net of applicable income taxes. The Companys' health care costs are limited to the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") with a maximum annual increase of 5%. Accordingly, health care costs in excess of the CPI limit will be borne by the plan participants, and therefore assumptions regarding health care cost trend rates are not applicable. The assumed annual increase in the CPI is 4%, 3% and 4% at December 31, 1994, December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively. Life insurance plan assets represent bank funds on deposit, with an expected rate of return of 6.5%. The discount rate assumed in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was, 8.5%, 7% and 8% at December 31, 1994, December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993 respectively, and the assumed salary increase was 5%. The adoption of SFAS 106 is not expected to have a material effect on future annual expenses of the Company. Prior to January 1, 1993, the Company recognized the cost of these benefits on a "pay as you go" basis. For 1992, the cost of these benefits totalled $722,000. Note 11. Litigation Litigation Reserves. In the opinion of management, claims or lawsuits incidental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries have been adequately provided for in the consolidated financial statements. [Page 67] Note 12. Control Subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into agreements with joint venture partners whereby, upon defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company, such joint venture partners have the right to either purchase from the Company or sell to the Company their entire equity interest in such joint ventures. DST and certain of its joint venture affiliates, are parties to certain processing and agency agreements that provide for optional termination of such agreements by their clients and or purchase at net book value by the other joint venture partner in the event of a change in control of DST or the respective other joint venture partners. In connection with its acquisition of an interest in Janus, the Company entered into an agreement, which provides for preservation of a measure of management autonomy at the subsidiary level and for rights of first refusal on the part of minority stockholders, Janus and the Company with respect to certain sales of Janus stock by the minority stockholders. The agreement also requires the Company to purchase the shares of minority stockholders in certain circumstances. In addition, in the event of a "change of ownership" of the Company, as defined in the agreement, the Company may be required to sell its stock of Janus to the minority stockholders or to purchase such holders' Janus stock. Purchase and sales transactions under the agreements are to be made based upon a multiple of the net earnings of Janus and/or fair market value determinations, as defined therein. See Note 9 for further details. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, certain changes in ownership of Janus or Berger may result in termination of its investment advisory agreements with the mutual funds and other accounts it manages, requiring approval of fund shareholders and other account holders to obtain new agreements. Employees. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into agreements with employees whereby, upon defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company or subsidiary, certain stock options become exercisable, certain benefit entitlements are automatically funded and such employees are entitled to specified cash payments upon termination of employment. Assets. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have established trusts to provide for the funding of corporate commitments and entitlements of officers, directors, employees and others in the event of a specified change in control of the Company or subsidiary. Assets held in such trusts at December 31, 1994 were immaterial. Depending upon the circumstances at the time of any such change in control, the most significant factor of which would be the highest price paid for KCSI Common stock by a party seeking to control the Company, funding of the Company's trusts could be very substantial. Debt. Certain loan agreements and debt instruments entered into or guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries provide for default in the event of a specified change in control of the Company or particular subsidiaries of the Company. Note 13. Industry Segments The Company's three major business activities are classified as follows: Transportation Services. The Company operates a Class I Common Carrier railroad system through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Kansas City Southern Railway Company. As a common carrier, the Railway's customer base is comprised of utilities and a wide range of companies in the petro-chemical, agricultural and paper processing industries. The railroad system operates primarily from the Midwest part of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico and, with the addition of the MidSouth Corporation, on an East-West axis from Dallas, Texas to Meridian, Mississippi. Also included in this industry segment are transportation related real estate, leasing and support services subsidiaries. Information & Transaction Processing. DST, (a wholly-owned subsidiary) its subsidiaries and affiliates, design, produce, distribute and operate proprietary software systems for the mutual fund, securities transfer, portfolio accounting, loan processing, asset management and [Page 68] insurance industries, among others, and provides administrative and transfer agent services using DST's proprietary systems. In addition to data processing, subsidiaries of DST also provide various output processing products and services including computer output microfilm/microfiche, laser printing and mailing. DST operates throughout the United States with its base of operations in the Midwest and, through certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, internationally in Canada, Europe, Africa and the Pacific Rim. Financial Asset Management. Janus (an 83% owned subsidiary) and Berger (an 80% owned subsidiary acquired in October, 1994) manage investments for mutual funds and private accounts. Both companies operate throughout the United States with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Janus assets under management at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $22.9, $22.2 and $15.5 billion, respectively. Berger assets under management at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $3.0 and $1.9 billion, respectively. Eliminations, Corporate & Other. Unallocated holding company expenses, intercompany eliminations, and miscellaneous investment activities are reported in the "Eliminations, Corporate and Other" industry segment. Segment Financial Information. Sales between segments are not material and therefore not disclosed.
