COMPETITION - GENERAL. The distribution business, which includes all segments of the Company's business, is highly competitive with the principal methods of competition being product quality, sufficiency of inventory, price and the ability to give the customer prompt and dependable service. The Company anticipates no decline in competition in any of its business segments in the foreseeable future.
EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 1999, the Company employed approximately 33,000 persons.
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS GROUP.
The Automotive Parts Group, the largest division of the Company, distributes automotive replacement parts and accessory items. The Company is the largest member of the National Automotive Parts Association ("NAPA"), a voluntary trade association formed in 1925 to provide nationwide distribution of automotive parts. In addition to over 225,000 available part numbers, the Company, in conjunction with NAPA, offers complete inventory, accounting, cataloging, marketing, training and other programs in the automotive aftermarket. The Automotive Parts Group is working to develop additional channels of distribution through two separate, but coordinated, e-commerce initiatives in business-to-consumer and business-to-business markets.
During 1999, the Company's Automotive Parts Group included NAPA automotive parts distribution centers and automotive parts stores ("auto parts stores" or "NAPA AUTO PARTS stores") owned in the United States by Genuine Parts Company; automotive parts distribution centers and auto parts stores in western Canada owned and operated by UAP, a wholly owned subsidiary; auto parts stores in the United States operated by corporations in which Genuine Parts Company owned either a 51% or a 70% interest; distribution centers owned by Balkamp, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary; rebuilding plants owned by the Company and operated by its Rayloc division; and automotive parts distribution centers and automotive parts stores in Mexico, owned and operated by Grupo Auto Todo, S.A. de C.V. ("Auto Todo"), a company in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company owns a 73% interest.
In January, 1999, the Company completed an addition to the Automotive Parts Group with the acquisition of Johnson Industries, Inc. ("Johnson"). Johnson, an independent distributor of ACDelco, Motorcraft, and other automotive supplies, was founded in 1924. During the year, Johnson Industries completed 3 acquisitions. In February 1999, Johnson acquired Uptown Auto Supply, a single branch distribution center in Chicago. Hunt Automotive, with 4 locations throughout California, was added in May 1999. Finally, L&D Enterprises, acquired in June 1999, added 4 distribution centers located in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. The Atlanta, Georgia based company has distribution facilities in ten cities throughout the U.S. Johnson stocks 50,000 SKU's and sells primarily to large fleets and new car dealers.
On October 1, 1999, the Company acquired Brittain Brothers, Inc., a long-standing NAPA Distributor headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Serving approximately 178 independently owned NAPA Automotive Parts stores and 14 company owned stores in Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, Brittain Brothers had annual sales of approximately $60 million. This acquisition provided the Company with the opportunity to develop in a geographical area not previously covered by the Company.
On January 11, 2000, the Company purchased a 15% interest in Mitchell Repair Information ("MRIC"), a subsidiary of Snap-on Incorporated. MRIC is a leading diagnostic and repair information company with over 35,000 North American subscribers linked to its services and information databases. MRIC's core product, "Mitchell ON-DEMAND", is a premier electronic repair information source in the automotive aftermarket.
The Company's NAPA automotive parts distribution centers distribute replacement parts (other than body parts) for substantially all motor vehicle makes and models in service in the United States, including imported vehicles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and farm vehicles. In addition, the Company distributes small engines and replacement parts for farm equipment and heavy duty equipment. The Company's inventories also include accessory items for such vehicles and equipment, and supply items used by a wide variety of customers in the automotive aftermarket, such as repair shops, service stations, fleet operators, automobile and truck dealers, leasing companies, bus and truck lines, mass merchandisers, farms,
industrial concerns and individuals who perform their own maintenance and parts installation. Although the Company's domestic automotive operations purchase from more than 150 different suppliers, approximately 58% of 1999 automotive inventories were purchased from 10 major suppliers. Since 1931, the Company has had return privileges with most of its suppliers, which has protected the Company from inventory obsolescence.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. In 1999, Genuine Parts Company operated 62 domestic NAPA automotive parts distribution centers located in 38 states and approximately 750 domestic company-owned NAPA AUTO PARTS stores located in 43 states. At December 31, 1999, Genuine Parts Company owned a 51% interest in 81 corporations and a 70% interest in 14 corporations which operated 150 auto parts stores in 31 states.
UAP, founded in 1926, is a Canadian leader in the distribution, marketing, and rebuilding of replacement parts and accessories for automobiles and trucks. UAP has annual sales of approximately $740 million Canadian ($500 million US) and employs approximately 4,950 people. UAP operates a network of 16 distribution centers supplying approximately 616 UAP/NAPA auto parts wholesalers. These include approximately 193 company owned stores, 28 joint venture or progressive owners, and approximately 395 independently owned stores. UAP supplies bannered installers and independent installers in all provinces of Canada, as well as networks of service stations and repair shops operating under the banners of national accounts. UAP is licensed to and uses the NAPA(R) name in Canada.
In Mexico, Auto Todo owns and operates 12 distribution centers and 19 auto parts stores. Auto Todo is licensed to and uses the NAPA(R)name in Mexico.
The Company's distribution centers serve approximately 5,000 independently owned NAPA AUTO PARTS stores located throughout the market areas served. NAPA AUTO PARTS stores, in turn, sell to a wide variety of customers in the automotive aftermarket. Collectively, these independent automotive parts stores account for approximately 25% of the Company's total sales with no automotive parts store or group of automotive parts stores with individual or common ownership accounting for more than 0.3% of the total sales of the Company.
PRODUCTS. Distribution centers have access to over 225,000 different parts and related supply items. Each item is cataloged and numbered for identification and accessibility. Significant inventories are carried to provide for fast and frequent deliveries to customers. Most orders are filled and shipped the same day as received. The majority of sales are on terms which require payment within 30 days of the statement date. The Company does not manufacture any of the products it distributes. The majority of products are distributed under the NAPA(R) name, a mark licensed to the Company by NAPA.
RELATED OPERATIONS. A majority-owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company, Balkamp, Inc. ("Balkamp"), distributes a wide variety of replacement parts and accessory items for passenger cars, heavy duty vehicles, motorcycles and farm equipment. In addition, Balkamp distributes service items such as testing equipment, lubricating equipment, gauges, cleaning supplies, chemicals and supply items used by repair shops, fleets, farms and institutions. Balkamp packages many of the approximately 24,000 part numbers which constitute the "Balkamp" line of products which are distributed to the members of NAPA. These products are categorized in 150 different product groups purchased from more than 400 suppliers. In addition to the Balkamp line of products, Balkamp distributes approximately 100 part numbers of nationally branded consumer appearance products through their Automotive Redistribution Center. These products are cataloged separately for convenience for NAPA customers. BALKAMP(R), a federally registered trademark, is important to the sales and marketing promotions of the Balkamp organization. Balkamp has three distribution centers located in Indianapolis, Indiana, Greenwood, Mississippi, and West Jordan, Utah.
The Company, through its Rayloc division, also operates five plants where certain small automotive parts are rebuilt. These products are distributed to the members of NAPA under both the NAPA and Rayloc(R) brand names. Rayloc(R) is a mark licensed to the Company by NAPA.
SEGMENT DATA. In the year ended December 31, 1999, sales from the Automotive Parts Group approximated 51% of the Company's net sales as compared to 49% in 1998 and 51% in 1997.
SERVICE TO NAPA AUTO PARTS STORES. The Company believes that the quality and the range of services provided to its automotive parts customers constitute a significant part of its automotive parts distribution system. Such services include fast and frequent delivery, obsolescence protection, parts cataloging (including the use of computerized NAPA AUTO PARTS catalogs) and stock adjustment through a continuing parts classification system which allows auto parts customers to return certain merchandise on a scheduled basis. The Company offers its NAPA AUTO PARTS store customers various management aids, marketing aids and service on topics such as inventory control, cost analysis, accounting procedures, group insurance and retirement benefit plans, marketing conferences and seminars, sales and advertising manuals and training programs. Point of sale/inventory management is available through TAMS(R) (Total Automotive Management Systems), a computer system designed and developed by the Company for the NAPA AUTO PARTS store.
In association with NAPA, the Company has developed and refined an inventory classification system to determine optimum distribution center and auto parts store inventory levels for automotive parts stocking based on automotive registrations, usage rates, production statistics, technological advances and other similar factors. This system, which undergoes continuous analytical review, is an integral part of the Company's inventory control procedures and comprises an important feature of the inventory management services which the Company makes available to its NAPA AUTO PARTS store customers. Over the last 10 years, losses to the Company from obsolescence have been insignificant, and the Company attributes this to the successful operation of its classification system which involves product return privileges with most of its suppliers.
COMPETITION. In the distribution of automotive parts, the Company competes with automobile manufacturers (some of which sell replacement parts for vehicles built by other manufacturers as well as those which they build themselves), automobile dealers, warehouse clubs and large automotive parts retail chains. In addition, the Company competes with the distributing outlets of parts manufacturers, oil companies, mass merchandisers, including national retail chains, and with other parts distributors and jobbers.
NAPA. The Company is a member of the National Automotive Parts Association, a voluntary association formed in 1925 to provide nationwide distribution of automotive replacement parts. NAPA, which neither buys nor sells automotive parts, functions as a trade association whose members in 1999 operated 69 distribution centers located throughout the United States, 62 of which were owned and operated by the Company. NAPA develops marketing concepts and programs that may be used by its members. It is not involved in the chain of distribution.
Among the automotive lines that each NAPA member purchases and distributes are certain lines designated, cataloged, advertised and promoted as "NAPA" lines. The members are not required to purchase any specific quantity of parts so designated and may, and do, purchase competitive lines from other supply sources.
The Company and the other NAPA members use the federally registered trademark NAPA(R) as part of the trade name of their distribution centers and jobbing stores. The Company contributes to NAPA's national advertising program, which is designed to increase public recognition of the NAPA name and to promote NAPA product lines.
The Company is a party, together with other members of NAPA and NAPA itself, to a consent decree entered by the Federal District Court in Detroit, Michigan, on May 4, 1954. The consent decree enjoins certain practices under the federal antitrust laws, including the use of exclusive agreements with manufacturers of automotive parts, allocation or division of territories among several NAPA members, fixing of prices or terms of sale for such parts among such members, and agreements to adhere to any uniform policy in selecting parts customers or determining the number and location of, or arrangements with, auto parts customers.
INDUSTRIAL PARTS GROUP.
The Industrial Parts Group distributes industrial replacement parts and related supplies throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. This Group distributes industrial bearings and power transmission equipment replacement parts, including hydraulic and pneumatic products, material handling components, agricultural and irrigation equipment and their related supplies. The Group is continuing to enhance their internet-based procurement solutions.
In 1999, the Company distributed industrial parts in the United States through Motion Industries, Inc. ("Motion"), headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Motion is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In Canada, industrial parts are distributed by another of Motion's operating divisions, Motion Industries (Canada), Inc. ["Motion (Canada)"], comprised of the former Oliver Industrial Supply Ltd. and Premier Industrial Division of UAP Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of Genuine Parts Holdings Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Motion (Canada)'s service area includes seven provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. In Mexico, industrial parts are distributed by another operating division, Motion Industries (Mexico) ["Motion (Mexico)"], through a joint venture with power transmission specialist Refacciones Industriales de Mexico (RIMSA) located in Mexico City and a new branch in Juarez.
In 1999 the Industrial Group expanded its Canadian operations through the acquisition of Lou's Bearings and Transmission LTD with five locations in Ontario; CHV Hydraulics with its respective nine locations in Canada, which includes the Air Max Division; and B.G.S. Bearings and Equipment LTD with four additional locations in Ontario. Motion Industries expanded its presence in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York with the January acquisition of Bush-Miller, Inc. with its five locations, and the September and October acquisitions of John M. Forster's mechanical power transmission division with three locations and Eastern Bearing Company with seven locations. Additionally, Motion opened 33 new branch locations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico in 1999.
As of December 31, 1999, the Group served more than 165,000 customers in all types of industries located throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. In North America, the Industrial Parts Group operates 499 locations including: seven distribution centers, three re-distribution centers, and 52 service centers for fluid power, electrical and special hose applications. The distribution centers stock and distribute more than 200,000 different items purchased from more than 250 different suppliers. The Group's re-distribution centers serve as collection points for excess inventory collected from its branches for re-distribution to those branches that need the inventory. Approximately 64% of 1999 total industrial purchases were made from 10 major suppliers. Sales are generated from the Group's branches located in 47 states, seven provinces in Canada, and two cities in Mexico. Each branch has warehouse facilities that stock significant amounts of inventory representative of the lines of products used by customers in the respective market area served.
Motion (Canada) operates an industrial parts and agricultural supply distribution center for the 41 Canadian locations serving industrial and agricultural markets. Motion (Canada) also distributes irrigation systems and related supplies.
PRODUCTS. The Industrial Parts Group distributes a wide variety of products to its customers, primarily industrial concerns, to maintain and operate plants, machinery and equipment. Products include such items as hoses, belts, bearings, pulleys, pumps, valves, chains, gears, sprockets, speed reducers and electric motors. The nature of this Group's business demands the maintenance of large inventories and the ability to provide prompt and demanding delivery requirements. Virtually all of the products distributed are installed by the customer. Most orders are filled immediately from existing stock and deliveries are normally made within 24 hours of receipt of order. The majority of all sales are on open account.
RELATED INFORMATION. Non-exclusive distributor agreements are in effect with most of the Group's suppliers. The terms of these agreements vary; however, it has been the experience of the Group that the custom of the
trade is to treat such agreements as continuing until breached by one party, or until terminated by mutual consent.
INTEGRATED SUPPLY. Motion's integrated supply solutions continued to gain momentum in 1999. Motion's integrated supply process not only reduces the costs associated with MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operation) inventory management, but also enables the manufacturing customer to focus on its core competency, free working capital associated with inventories, improve service levels to end-users, and allow management to focus on more strategic concerns. Motion's integrated supply process analyzes a customer's current operation to develop integration goals and then provides solutions based on industry's accepted best practices.
SEGMENT DATA. In the year ended December 31, 1999, sales from the Company's Industrial Parts Group approximated 27% of the Company's net sales as compared to 31% in 1998 and 31% in 1997.
COMPETITION. The Industrial Parts Group competes with other distributors specializing in the distribution of such items, general line distributors and others who have developed or joined integrated supply programs. To a lesser extent, the Group competes with manufacturers that sell directly to the customer.
OFFICE PRODUCTS GROUP.
The Office Products Group, operated through S. P. Richards Company ("S. P. Richards"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. S. P. Richards is engaged in the wholesale distribution of a broad line of office and other products which are used in the daily operation of businesses, schools, offices and institutions. Office products fall into the general categories of computer supplies, imaging supplies, office machines, general office supplies, janitorial supplies, breakroom supplies, and office furniture. Horizon USA Data Supplies, Inc., acquired by the Company in 1995, is a computer supplies distributor headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Office Products Group is developing several web-based products to benefit resellers, manufacturers and consumers.
In August 1998, the Company completed the purchase of the Canada based Norwestra Sales (1992), Inc. Norwestra, with its headquarters near Vancouver, British Columbia, services office product resellers throughout Western Canada. During 1999, the Company opened a second Norwestra branch in Toronto, Canada.
The Office Products Group distributes computer supplies including diskettes, printer supplies, printout paper and printout binders; office furniture to include desks, credenzas, chairs, chair mats, partitions, files and computer furniture; office machines to include telephones, answering machines, calculators, typewriters, shredders and copiers; and general office supplies to include copier supplies, desk accessories, business forms, accounting supplies, binders, report covers, writing instruments, note pads, envelopes, secretarial supplies, mailroom supplies, filing supplies, art/drafting supplies, janitorial supplies, breakroom supplies and audio visual supplies.
The Office Products Group distributes more than 20,000 items to over 6,000 office supply dealers from 43 facilities located in 28 states and Western Canada. Approximately 59% of 1999 total office products purchases were made from 10 major suppliers.
The Office Products Group sells to resellers of office products. Customers are offered comprehensive marketing programs, which include flyers, other promotional material and personalized product catalogs. The marketing programs are supported by all the Group's distribution centers which stock all cataloged products and have the capability to provide overnight delivery.
While many recognized brand-name items are carried in inventory, S. P. Richards also markets items produced for it under its own SPARCO(R) brand name, as well as its NATURE SAVER(R) brand of recycled products, elite image(TM) printer supplies and CompuCessory(TM) brand of computer supplies and accessories.
SEGMENT DATA. In the year ended December 31, 1999, sales from the Company's Office Products Group approximated 15% of the Company's net sales as compared to 17% in 1998 and 18% in 1997.
COMPETITION. In the distribution of office supplies to retail dealers, S. P. Richards competes with many other wholesale distributors as well as with manufacturers of office products and large national retail chains.
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC MATERIALS GROUP.
The Electrical/Electronic Materials Group was formed on July 1, 1998 through the acquisition of EIS, Inc. ("EIS"). This Group distributes materials for the manufacture and repair of electrical and electronic apparatus. With branch locations in 38 cities nationwide and in Mexico, this Group stocks over 100,000 items, from insulating and conductive materials to assembly tools and test equipment. This Group also has three manufacturing facilities that provide custom fabricated parts and one manufacturing plant that produces printed circuit board drillroom products. The Electrical/Electronic Materials Group is an important single source to original equipment manufacturers, repair shops, the electronic assembly market, and printed circuit board manufacturers. EIS is developing a customizable internet ordering system for electronic assembly customers.
In 1999, the Company distributed electrical materials through EIS, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Electronic materials were distributed through EIS's operating divisions, Com-Kyl, headquartered in Fremont, CA, and Circuit Supply, headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
In January 1999, the Company completed acquisitions of H. A. Holden, Inc. ("Holden"), and Summit Insulation Supply ("Summit"). Holden, a national distributor of materials and parts to the motor repair industry, has distribution facilities in Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; Philadelphia, PA; Houston, TX; Sacramento, CA; Denver, CO; and Miami, FL. Summit, a regional distributor and fabricator of electrical insulation materials to manufacturers of transformers and electric motors, is headquartered in Memphis, TN, and serves 20-30 large original equipment manufacturers in the Southeast. Summit also has a small location in Harlingen, TX, which services Mexico. The Group has a strategy to continue to "roll up" its markets and consolidate the service base for the benefit of both EIS customers and suppliers and plans to make future acquisitions within the markets the Group serves.
PRODUCTS. The Electrical/Electronic Materials Group distributes a wide variety of products to customers from over 400 vendors. Products include such items as magnet wire, copper clad laminate, conductive materials, insulating and shielding materials, assembly tools, test equipment, adhesives and chemicals, pressure sensitive tapes, solder, anti-static products, and thermal management products. To meet the prompt delivery demands of its customers, this Group maintains large inventories. The majority of sales are on open account. Approximately 67% of 1999 total Electrical/Electronic Materials Group purchases were made from 10 major suppliers.
INTEGRATED SUPPLY. The Electrical/Electronic Materials Group's integrated supply programs are expected to grow in 2000, as a greater number of customers--especially national accounts--are given the opportunity to participate in this low-cost, high-service capability. Over the past year, the Group developed AIMS (Advanced Inventory Management System), a totally integrated, highly automated solution for inventory management. This year AIMS will be added to the Group's Integrated Supply offering. This bar code driven system is a cost effective alternative to the traditional labor intensive inventory management process.
SEGMENT DATA. In the year ended December 31, 1999 sales from the Company's Electrical/Electronic Materials Group approximated 7% of the Company's sales, as compared to 3% in 1998.
COMPETITION. The Electrical/Electronic Materials Group competes with other distributors specializing in the distribution of electrical and electronic products, general line distributors, and, to a lesser extent, manufacturers that sell directly to customers.

AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO
THE GENUINE PARTS COMPANY
PENSION PLAN
This Amendment to the Genuine Parts Company Pension Plan is adopted by Genuine Parts Company (the "Company") through action of the Pension Committee, effective as of the date set forth herein.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Genuine Parts Company Pension Plan (the "Plan"), as amended and restated effective January 1, 1989, and such Plan is currently in effect; and
WHEREAS, under Section 8.06(c), the Pension Committee has the authority to amend the Plan to comply with changes in law and to make other amendments that do not materially increase the costs associated with the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to amend the Plan in certain respects;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Plan is hereby amended as follows:
1.
Section 2.03(d) is hereby added, as follows:
"(d) Attained Age. For purposes of determining actuarial equivalence, age shall be determined using attained age, not the nearest age or age in years and months."
2.
Section 2.03(c)(2) is deleted in its entirety, and a new Section 2.03(c)(2) is substituted in lieu thereof, as follows:
"(2) Applicable Interest Rate.
(i) For lump sum distributions made on or after January 1, 2000, the term "Applicable Interest Rate" means the annual rate of interest on the 30-year Treasury securities for the month of October that precedes the beginning of the Plan Year in which such distribution occurs. (Note that the October rates are published in November.)
(ii) Special Rule for Annuity Starting Dates During Calendar Year
2000. For any Participant whose Annuity Starting Date occurs
on or after January 1, 2000 but prior to January 1, 2001, the
term "Applicable Interest Rate" will be either (a) or (b)
which follow, whichever results in the larger distribution:
(a) the rate in 2.03(c)(2)(i) above; or (b) the annual rate
of interest on the 30-year Treasury securities for the month
of December that precedes the beginning of the Plan Year in
which such distribution occurs. (Note that the December rates
are published in January.)"
3.
Section 2.10 is hereby deleted in its entirety and a new Section 2.10 is substituted in lieu thereof, as follows:
"2.10 Average Earnings shall mean the average of the Participant's monthly Earnings for the highest five (5) calendar years of Employment out of the last complete ten (10) calendar years of Employment (or during total Employment if less) immediately preceding the Participant's Termination of Employment. Average Earnings shall be determined by dividing the total Earnings received by the Participant during the appropriate five (5) year calendar year period by the number of months for which he received Earnings in such period. If the Participant's Earnings in the calendar year in which the Participant terminates Employment will increase the Participant's Average Earnings, such Earnings shall be counted as part of the Participant's ten (10) complete calendar years of Employment. Although a partial calendar year of Earnings may be used as described in the proceeding sentence, if a Participant has more than 60 months of participation in the Plan, Average Earnings shall be computed by dividing by 60 months."
4.
A new section 2.18(i) is hereby added, as follows:
"(i) An Employee who has a Permanent Disability before January 1, 2000 will continue to earn Credited Service following such Permanent Disability until the earlier of (1) the date his Permanent Disability ends; or (2) the date he attains Normal Retirement Age. An Employee who becomes Permanently Disabled on or after January 1, 2000 will continue to earn Credited Service following such Permanent Disability until the earlier of (1) the date his Permanent Disability ends; or (2) the last day of the month following the second anniversary of the date his Permanent Disability began."
5.
Section 2.21 is hereby deleted in its entirety and a new Section 2.21 is substituted in lieu thereof, as follows:
"2.21 Earnings shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:
(a) Except as provided below, Earnings means the Participant's
total compensation including wages, salaries, certain welfare
benefits (vacation, bereavement, short term disability, and
workers compensation make up), back pay awarded pursuant to
an EEOC dispute (but not other types of EEOC disputes), and
other amounts received for personal services actually
rendered in the course of Employment (including commissions,
overtime and bonuses). However, Earnings shall NOT include
reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits
(cash and non cash), moving expenses, awards, prizes,
referral bonuses, deferred compensation (including any
amounts deferred or paid under the Tax Deferred Savings Plan)
and all welfare benefits other than those listed in the
previous sentence. Earnings SHALL include any compensation
which is not includible in the Participant's gross income by
reason of Code Section 402(a)(8) (Employee pre-tax
contributions to the Genuine Partnership Plan), Code Section
125 (Employee salary deferrals under the Genuine Parts
Company Section 125 Plan), and Code Sections 402(h), 457(b)
and 414(h)(2) (none of which currently apply to the
Company)."
6.
Section 2.49 is hereby deleted in its entirety and a new Section 2.49 is substituted in lieu thereof, as follows:
"2.49 Termination Date shall mean the first to occur of the following events:

A new Section 6.08 is hereby added, as follows: "6.08 Distributions Pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, a "qualified domestic relations order", as defined in Code Section 414(p), may provide that any amount to be distributed to an alternate payee may be distributed immediately in a single lump sum or single life annuity even though the Participant is not yet entitled to a distribution under the Plan. The intent of this Section is to provide for the distribution of benefits to an alternate payee as permitted by Treasury Regulation 1.401(a)-13(g)(3)." 8. Amendment Number Five to the Plan, at Paragraph 10, amended Section |
13.02 of the Plan. Such amendment was to be effective January 1, 2000. This Amendment Number Nine, however, hereby repeals Paragraph 10 of Amendment Number Five, thus reinstating the old Section 13.02. Amendment Number Nine also hereby adds the following new paragraph to the end of Section 13.02 (as it existed prior to Amendment Number Five). Pursuant to these changes, Section 13.02 of the Plan shall hereby read as follows:
"13.02 Combined Plan Limitations. If the Employer maintains, or at any time maintained, one or more qualified defined contribution plans covering any Participant in this Plan, the sum of the Participant's defined contribution fraction and defined benefit fraction shall not exceed 1.0 in any limitation year, and the annual benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under this Plan shall be frozen or reduced to the extent necessary so that the sum of such fractions shall not exceed 1.0. Effective as of the first day of the first limitation year beginning on or after January 1, 2000 (the "Operative Date"), and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Accrued Benefit for any Participant shall be determined by applying the terms of the Plan implementing the limitations of Section 415 as if the limitations of Section 415 continued to include the limitations of Section 415(e) as in effect on the day immediately prior to the Operative Date. For this purpose, the defined contribution fraction is set equal to the defined contribution fraction as of the day immediately prior to the Operative Date." |

a. The following paragraph entitled "Overview" shall be added prior to
Section I and just beneath the heading "CREDIT FOR SERVICE WITH

Effective January 1, 2000, however, no additional changes, other than historic changes, will be made to Sections I, II or III. Beginning January 1, 2000 rules regarding past service credit will be governed by Section IV." b. The following sentence shall be added to the beginning of the paragraph at Section I: "This Section I shall apply to acquisitions occurring prior to January 1, 2000." c.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
GENUINE PARTS COMPANY
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genuine Parts Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Genuine Parts Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Price increases for the Automotive Parts Group were flat in 1999 and 1998. Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 7% in 1999 versus 8% in 1998, reflecting geographic growth through acquisitions, opening new branches and moderate growth in industrial production. Price increases for the Industrial Parts Group were 1% in 1999 and 1998. Sales for the Office Products Group increased 9% in 1999 and 4% in 1998, reflecting geographic growth, increased market share, expanded product offerings and an increased customer base. Price increases for the Office Products Group were less than 1% in 1999 and 1998. Sales for the Electrical/Electronic Group which the Company acquired July 1, 1998 reached $522 million for 1999.

Costs of goods sold was 70.0% of net sales in 1999 compared to 69.7% in 1998 and to 69.6% in 1997. Selling, administrative and other expenses increased 25% in 1999 to $1.8 billion versus (8% increase, excluding 1999 acquisitions) a 12% increase in 1998 (8% increase, excluding 1998 acquisitions) and was 22.1% of net sales in 1999, 21.4% of net sales in 1998, and 21.0% of net sales in 1997. Selling, administrative and other expenses increased as a percentage to sales as a result of additional acquisition costs including interest expense and goodwill amortization. Increased salaries and benefits plus expenses due to the year 2000 and e-commerce initiatives also contributed to this increase. The effective income tax rate was 39.9% in 1999 as compared to 39.6% in 1998 and 39.5% in 1997. The increase in the tax rate in 1999 primarily related to the effect of international operations. Net income as a percent of net sales was 4.7% in 1999, 5.4% in 1998, and 5.7% in 1997. Net income in 1999 increased to $377.6 million, reflecting a 6.1% increase over 1998 net income of $355.8 million. Net income in 1998 increased 4% over 1997 net income of $342.4 million. Diluted earnings per share were $2.11 in 1999 compared to $1.98 in 1998 for an increase of 6.6%.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL: The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.2 to 1 at the close of 1999 with current assets amounting to 73.7% of total assets. Trade accounts receivable and inventories increased 10.9% and 6.7% respectively, while working capital increased 6.1%. Excluding the impact of acquisitions made in 1999, the increases in accounts receivable and inventory would have been 6.4% and 3.4%, respectively. The increase in working capital has been financed principally from the Company's cash flow generated by operations. At December 31, 1998, $95 million was outstanding under an unsecured revolving line of credit with a bank. This line was canceled during 1999. In 1998, the Company obtained a $200 million revolving line of credit maturing in December 2003. At December 31, 1999, $200 million was outstanding on this line. Also during 1998, the Company obtained a $200 million, 364 day line of credit maturing in December, 2000. At December 31, 1999, $16.8 million was outstanding on this line. Interest on these lines is charged at the one month LIBOR plus .55% (6.37% as of December 31, 1999) and is reset quarterly based on the Company's leverage ratio. No amounts were outstanding at December 31, 1998 under these lines of credit.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had the following unsecured term notes: $50 million, 5.95%, due 2001; $50 million, 5.98%, due 2002; $50 million, LIBOR plus .25%, due 2005; $50 million, LIBOR plus .25%, due 2008; $231 million, LIBOR plus .55%, due 2003; $49 million, 6.43% due 2000; and $72 million in other borrowings. In addition, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's outstanding borrowings was approximately 6.3% and 5.7% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total interest expense for all borrowings was $41.5 million and $20.1 million in 1999 and 1998 respectively.
In addition, the Company had the following Canadian dollar denominated borrowings translated into U.S. dollars at December 31, 1999: $100 million line of credit, banker's acceptance rate plus
EARNINGS PER SHARE* DIVIDENDS PER SHARE* in dollars in dollars '90 1.19 '90 .61 '91 1.21 '91 .65 '92 1.27 '92 .67 '93 1.38 '93 .71 '94 1.55 '94 .77 '95 1.68 '95 .84 '96 1.81 '96 .89 '97 1.90 '97 .96 '98 1.98 '98 1.00 '99 2.11 '99 1.04 |
*Restated to reflect stock splits.
.55%, due 2004, $22 million outstanding; a line of credit secured by accounts receivable, $42 million, banker's acceptance rate plus .22%; and $2 million in other borrowings.
In August 1999, the Company completed the repurchase of 15 million shares authorized by the Board of Directors in 1994. The Board authorized the repurchase of an additional 15 million shares on April 19, 1999. Through December 31, 1999, approximately 1.4 million shares have been repurchased under this new authorization.
Existing credit facilities, current financial resources and anticipated funds from operations are expected to meet requirements for working capital in 2000. Capital expenditures during 1999 and 1998 amounted to $88 million compared to $90 million in 1997. The amounts reflect the Company's continuing geographic expansion as well as the upgrading of existing facilities. It is anticipated that capital expenditures in 2000 will be approximately the same as 1999.
The Company manages its exposure to changes in short-term interest rates, particularly to reduce the impact on its floating-rate term notes, by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The counterparties to these contracts are high credit quality commercial banks. Consequently, credit risk, which is inherent in all swaps, has been minimized to a large extent. Interest expense is adjusted for the differential to be paid or received as interest rates change. The effect of such adjustments on interest expense has not been significant. The level of floating-rate debt not fixed by swap agreements was approximately $429 million at December 31, 1999. Accordingly, a 1% adverse change in interest rates would not have a material adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows of the Company.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000: In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its plans to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation and testing of systems. As a result of those planning and implementation efforts, the Company experienced no significant disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-information technology systems and believes those systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change. The Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with its products, its internal systems, or the products and services of third parties. The Company will continue to monitor its mission critical computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports to shareholders. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to revenue, market share and net income growth, or statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management's then current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance. There are many factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by statements made herein. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the growth rate of the market for the Company's products and services, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, competitive product and pricing pressures, the effectiveness of the Company's promotional, marketing and advertising programs, changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting and taxation guidance, the uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Miscellaneous year-end adjustments resulted in increasing net income during the fourth quarter of 1999 and 1998 by approximately $35.7 million ($.20 per share) and $27.7 million ($.15 per share), respectively. Miscellaneous year-end adjustments primarily relate to changes in management's estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventory, the calculation of volume purchasing rebates earned and other adjustments to judgmental reserves which cannot be accurately determined until the end of the year.
The following is a summary of the quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genuine Parts Company and all of its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Income applicable to minority interests is included in other expenses. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The balance sheets and statements of income of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current and average exchange rates, respectively.
CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for a majority of automotive parts, electrical/electronic materials, and industrial parts, and by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for office products and certain other inventories. If the FIFO method had been used for all inventories, cost would have been $141,041,000 and $134,814,000 higher than reported at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is determined principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset.
GOODWILL Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions, is amortized over a period of 40 years.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets, including goodwill, are periodically reviewed for impairment based on an assessment of future operations. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
OTHER ASSETS Other assets consists primarily of a prepaid pension asset.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term debt and other borrowings approximate their respective fair values. Fair values are based primarily on quoted prices for those or similar instruments.
REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenues from product sales upon shipment to its customers.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards. Options to purchase 4,265,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $26 to $35 per share were outstanding during 1999 but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. The dilutive effect of options to purchase 748,312 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of approximately $7 per share issued in connection with a July 1, 1998 acquisition have been included in the computation of diluted net income per common share since the date of the acquisition.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities. The statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company is required to adopt Statement No. 133 in 2001, however, management does not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operation.
2. ACQUISITIONS
In 1999, the Company acquired certain distributors in 14 separate transactions. The aggregate purchase price for all 1999 acquisitions was approximately $126,900,000. Net sales included in the consolidated statement of income associated with the 1999 transactions totals approximately $311,400,000. Effective
July 1, 1999, the Company made an additional $5,300,000 investment in Grupo Auto Todo, a Mexico-based automotive parts distributor, increasing the Company's equity ownership to 73%.
On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired EIS, Inc. and subsidiaries ("EIS"), a distributor of electrical/electronic materials for a combination of cash and stock valued at approximately $180,000,000, which includes certain non-compete agreements.
On December 1, 1998, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding shares of UAP Inc., a Montreal, Canada-based automotive parts distributor, for cash totaling approximately $231,000,000. The Company also made other individually insignificant acquisitions during 1998.
All 1999 and 1998 acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, totaled approximately $108,300,000 and $287,799,000 for the 1999 and 1998 acquisitions, respectively. All acquired businesses are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition.
The Company's unaudited pro forma results of operations for 1999 and 1998 applicable to 1999 acquisitions is not significantly different from the Company's actual results of operations. The following table summarizes the Company's unaudited pro forma results of operations for 1998 and 1997 as if the 1998 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997:
IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS 1998 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net sales $7,351,037 $7,055,103 Pro forma net income $ 359,133 $ 344,681 Pro forma basic net income per common share $ 2.00 $ 1.92 Pro forma diluted net income per common share $ 1.99 $ 1.91 |
The pro forma results presented above include adjustments to reflect interest expense on borrowings for the acquisitions, amortization of assets acquired including intangibles, and the effect on weighted average outstanding shares of common stock and stock options issued in connection with certain acquisitions.
These pro forma unaudited results of operations do not purport to represent what the Company's actual results of operations would have been if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997, and should not serve as a forecast of the Company's operating results for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based solely upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances at this time.
3. CREDIT FACILITIES
Amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facilities consist of the following:
December 31 IN THOUSANDS 1999 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. DOLLAR DENOMINATED BORROWINGS: Unsecured revolving line of credit, $200,000,000, Libor plus .55% due December 2003 $200,000 $ -- Unsecured 364 day line of credit, $200,000,000, Libor plus .55%, due December 2000 16,800 -- Unsecured revolving lines of credit, $100,000,000, federal funds rate plus .10%, due May 1999 -- 95,000 Unsecured term notes: December 27, 1996, 5.95% fixed until March 2000, then Libor plus .25% due December 2001 50,000 50,000 October 31, 1997, 5.98% fixed until October 2000, then the higher of 5.98% or Libor plus .25%, due October 2002 50,000 50,000 July 1, 1998, Libor plus .25%, due October 2008 50,000 50,000 October 1, 1998, Libor plus .25%, due October 2008 50,000 50,000 December 26, 1995, 5.98% fixed, due December 2000 -- 50,000 September 18, 1997, 6.125% fixed, due September 2002 -- 50,000 December 1, 1998, Libor plus .55%, due December 2003 231,367 231,367 December 10, 1999, 6.43% fixed, due February 2000 49,464 -- Other borrowings 71,858 12,259 CANADIAN DOLLAR DENOMINATED BORROWINGS TRANSLATED INTO U.S. DOLLARS: Unsecured revolving lines of credit, $100,000,000, Banker's Acceptance rate plus .55%, due January 2004 22,144 47,706 Line of credit, $41,544,000 and $49,013,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, secured by accounts receivable, Banker's Acceptance rate plus .22%, cancelable on 30 days notice or due March 2003 41,544 49,013 Other borrowings 2,296 -- Unsecured demand loan, Libor plus .25% -- 9,611 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 835,473 744,956 Current portion of long-term debt and other borrowings 133,056 156,316 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $702,417 $588,640 ================================================================================ |
The principal amount of the Company's borrowings subject to variable rates totaled approximately $674,602,000 and $532,697,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's outstanding borrowings was approximately 6.3% and 5.7% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk, thereby reducing exposure to future interest rate movements. Under interest rate swap agreements, the parties agree to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between the fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. At December 31, 1999, the Company was committed to receive an average variable rate of 5.9% and pay an average fixed rate of 5.6% on notional amounts of $245,696,000. The Company's notional amounts of interest rate swaps expire as follows: $27,696,000 in 2003, $100,000,000 in 2008 and $118,000,000 in 2009. The fair value of all such interest rate swap agreements was approximately $9,500,000 at December 31, 1999.
The Company guaranteed borrowings of affiliates totaling approximately $62,400,000 at December 31, 1999.
The $231,367,000 term note also contains one restrictive covenant, whereby the Company must maintain a debt to equity ratio not greater than 50%. Total interest expense for all borrowings was $41,487,000 in 1999, $20,096,000 in 1998 and $13,365,000 in 1997.
Approximate maturities under the Company's credit facilities are as follows (in thousands):
2000 $133,056 2001 62,890 2002 62,916 2003 443,906 2004 1,079 Subsequent to 2004 131,626 --------------------------------- $835,473 ================================= |
4. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company has a Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement which includes the distribution of rights to common shareholders under certain defined circumstances. The rights entitle the holder, upon occurrence of certain events, to purchase additional stock of the Company. The rights will be exercisable only if a person, group or company acquires 20% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a tender offer that would result in ownership of 20% or more of the common stock. The Company is entitled to redeem each right for one cent.
5. LEASED PROPERTIES
The Company leases land, buildings and equipment. Certain land and building leases have renewal options generally for periods ranging from two to ten years. Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under the noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more consisted of the following at December 31, 1999 (in thousands):
2000 $ 83,922 2001 64,724 2002 49,049 2003 35,730 2004 25,634 Subsequent to 2004 101,746 --------------------------------- $360,805 ================================= |
In November 1998, the Company sold land and buildings with a carrying value of approximately $50,000,000 under a sale leaseback arrangement. A gain of approximately $10,000,000 was deferred and is being amortized over the term of the lease. Rental expense for operating leases was $100,546,000 in 1999, $76,834,000 in 1998, and $65,137,000 in 1997.
6. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
In 1999, the Company authorized the grant of options of up to 9,000,000 shares of common stock. In accordance with stock option plans approved by shareholders, options are granted to key personnel for the purchase of the Company's stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant. Most options may be exercised not earlier than twelve months nor later than ten years from the date of grant.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123 determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair
value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated
at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions for 1999 and 1997, respectively:
risk-free interest rates of 5.5% and 6.4%; dividend yield of 3.5% and 2.5%;
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of
.07 and .12, and an expected life of the option of 7.1 years and 5.4 years. No
options were granted during 1998.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have
no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands except per share amounts):
1999 1998 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income........................................ $374,801 $351,875 $338,978 Pro forma basic net income per common share................. $ 2.10 $ 1.96 $ 1.89 Pro forma diluted net income per common share............... $ 2.09 $ 1.95 $ 1.88 |

Exercise prices for options exercised during 1999 ranged from approximately $17 to $35. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 ranged from approximately $18 to $35, except for 748,312 options granted in connection with the 1998 acquisition of EIS discussed in Note 2 for which the range is approximately $0.54 to $16. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those options is approximately 6 years.
On February 25, 1999, the Company entered into restricted stock agreements with two officers which provide for the award of up to 150,000 and 75,000 shares, respectively, during the period 1999 through 2003 based on the Company achieving certain increases in net income per common share and stock price levels. Through December 31, 1999, the two officers have earned 15,000 and 7,500 shares, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair market value of the stock on the award date over the remaining vesting period which expires on February 25, 2009.
7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covers substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on an average of the employees' compensation during five of their last ten years of credited service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts deductible for income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed for service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Pension benefits include amounts related to a supplemental retirement plan.

At December 31, 1999, the Company sponsored pension plan held 870,369 shares of common stock of the Company with a market value of approximately $21,600,000. Dividend payments received by the plan on Company stock totaled approximately $901,000 and $840,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Fees paid during the year for services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services.
The Company has a defined contribution plan which covers substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions are determined based on 20% of the first 6% of the covered employee's salary. Total plan expense was approximately $4,599,000 in 1999, $4,491,000 in 1998, and $3,953,000 in 1997.
