4 ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Plan Administrator SL Industries, Inc. Savings and Pension Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the SL Industries, Inc. Savings and Pension Plan as of July 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit include examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of July 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the accompanying index are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for the plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits are presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic statements taken as a whole. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Philadelphia, Pa., January 25, 1996 5 SL INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTE: The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 9 SL INDUSTRIES, INC. SAVINGS AND PENSION PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Description of Plan and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Plan: SL Industries, Inc. Savings and Pension Plan (the "Plan"), originally adopted May 1, 1976, is a defined contribution savings and pension plan covering substantially all non-union employees of SL Industries, Inc. who have completed one year of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete information with respect to the provisions of the Plan. Investments: As part of the Plan provisions, participants may invest in SL Industries, Inc. Common Stock ("Common Stock") and/or in various combinations of four funds: Guaranteed Fund, Balanced Fund, Indexed Stock Fund, and Diversified Stock Fund. All income, gains or other amounts from any investment are reinvested in the same investment from which they are received. The amounts are then allocated, as appropriate, to each Participant's account balance. The Guaranteed Fund represents deposit contracts with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. Contributions are maintained in a pooled account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments at rates guaranteed by the contracts and charged for Plan withdrawals. The financial statements reflect the contract value as reported by John Hancock as of the Plan year-end. The remaining funds are all John Hancock separate investment accounts and are carried at market value as reported by John Hancock as of the Plan year-end. The fair value of the SL Industries, Inc. Common Stock is based on the market price as quoted in the New York Stock Exchange on the Plan year-end. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net appreciation in investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation of those investments. Interest and dividend income are recorded as earned on an accrual basis. 10 Contributions: Elective Contributions: Employees' contributions are based upon authorized payroll withholdings. Participants may make elective deferrals of up to 20% of their annual base compensation. Matching Employer Contributions: The employer's match is twenty-five percent (25%) of the participant's elective deferrals, not to exceed two percent (2%) of participant's compensation. Matching employer contributions are invested solely in Common Stock of SL Industries, Inc. Profit Sharing Contributions: A profit sharing contribution is made annually to all Plan participants who have a credited year of service during the Plan year and is equal to two percent (2%) of the participant's W-2 wages for the previous calendar year. This is a discretionary contribution determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Profit sharing contributions are invested in accordance with the election of each participant. Benefits: At the time of separation, the vested portion of a participant's account represents the participant's accumulated benefit. At the end of a break in service year, as defined under the Plan, a participant may elect to: (1) continue to invest their accumulated benefit in the Plan until their normal retirement date at which time the value of their account will be utilized to purchase an annuity; (2) receive payment in one lump sum; or (3) to have any portion paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. At the normal retirement date, age 65, a participant may elect to receive their retirement benefit in one lump sum payment, in various types of installments, or in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity. The amount of benefit payment depends on the value of the participant's account and the retirement benefit option the participant elects. Vesting: Participants become immediately vested in their elective deferral contributions plus actual earnings and their employer's profit sharing contributions. Employer matching contributions become vested as follows: 11
Percentage ---------- Years of Service Vested ---------------- ------ Five years or more 100% Four years or more, but less than five years 75% Three years or more, but less than four years 50% Less than three years 0%
In determining years of service for vesting, the Plan considers service from the participant's date of hire. The nonvested portion of a participant's account, if any, will be forfeited after a one year break in service. Forfeitures will be allocated to the remaining participants' accounts on a prorata basis as defined by the Plan. Participant Loans: The Plan may make loans to a participant, taking as collateral the participant's account balance. The minimum loan amount is $500 and may not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's vested account balance. All loans bear interest at prime rate plus one percent compiled as of the loan origination date. Loans are repayable over a twelve to sixty month term. The interest rates on the participant loans receivable on the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits for July 31, 1995 and 1994 range from 8.25% to 9.75%. Voting Rights: Effective August 1, 1992, the Plan was amended to provide participants with certain voting and other rights in connection with SL Industries, Inc. Common Stock held in their accounts under the Plan. During previous years, participants did not have these rights. 2. Plan Termination While SL Industries, Inc. has not expressed any intent to do so, it may terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the penalties set forth in ERISA, as amended. In the event of such Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. 3. Reconciliation to Form 5500 As of July 31, 1995 and 1994, the Plan had approximately $253,000 and $77,000, respectively, of pending distributions to participants who elected to withdraw from the Plan. These amounts are recorded as a liability in the Plan's Form 5500; however, these amounts are not recorded 12 as a liability in the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The following table reconciles net assets available for Plan benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 as filed by the Company for the years ended July 31, 1995 and 1994:
Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits ----------------- Benefits Payable to Benefits July 31, July 31, Participants Paid 1995 1994 ------------ ---- ---- ---- Per financial statements $ 0 $337,000 $7,578,000 $6,126,000 Accrued benefit payments 253,000 253,000 (253,000) (77,000) Reversal of 1994 accrual for benefit payments 0 (77,000) 0 0 -------- -------- ---------- ---------- Per Form 5500 $253,000 $513,000 $7,325,000 $6,049,000 ======== ======== ========== ==========
4. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by SL Industries, Inc., with the exception of asset management fees related to certain deposit contracts held with the insurance company which are paid by the Plan. Total asset management fees expensed in fiscal 1995 were $4,876 and in fiscal 1994 were $7,832. 5. Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has issued a ruling that the Plan meets the requirements for qualification pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and that the Plan is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. Management believes to be operating the Plan in accordance with the Code. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. 13 SL INDUSTRIES, INC.
