DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Portions of the Company's definitive proxy statement dated March 22, 1995 (the
"Proxy Statement"), which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to regulation A, are incorporated by reference into Part
III.

Part I

Item 1. Business.

Maytag Corporation (the "Company") was organized as a Delaware corporation in
1925. The Company is engaged in two industry segments: home appliances and
vending equipment. Financial and other information relating to industry segment
and geographic data is included in Part II, Item 7, Pages 10-12; and Item 8,
Pages 31 and 32.

HOME APPLIANCES

The home appliances segment comprises approximately 94 percent of 1994
consolidated net sales.

The Company, through its various business units, manufactures and distributes a
broad line of home appliances including laundry equipment, gas and electric
ranges, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and carpet
extractors. Maytag Customer Service provides product service and parts
distribution in the United States and Canada for all of the Company's appliance
brands, except Hoover. Maytag International Inc., the Company's international
marketing subsidiary, handles the sales of appliances and licensing of certain
home appliance brands in markets outside the United States and Canada. In 1992,
the Company sold its microwave oven and dehumidifier manufacturing operations.
However, the Company continues to distribute microwave ovens and dehumidifiers,
as well as compactors. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company sold its
laundry, refrigeration and floorcare manufacturing and distribution operations
in Australia and New Zealand. Additional information regarding the divestiture
is included in Part II, Item 7, Page 11; and Item 8, Page 21. Until December
31, 1994, Maytag Financial Services Corporation provided financing programs
primarily to certain customers of the Company in North America. The operations
of Maytag Financial Services will cease in 1995; however, certain financing
programs will continue through the Company's other business units and
subsidiaries.

The Company markets its home appliances to all major United States and many
major international markets, including the replacement market, the commercial
laundry market, the new home and apartment builder market, the manufactured
housing (mobile home) market, the recreational vehicle market, the private label
market and the household/commercial floor care market. Products are primarily
sold directly to dealers but are also sold through independent distributors,
mass merchandisers and large national department stores. Sales of appliances to
manufacturers of mobile homes and recreational vehicles are made directly by
specialized marketing personnel. Most home appliance sales are made within
North America.

A portion of the Company's operations and sales is outside the United States.
The risks involved in foreign operations vary from country to country and
include tariffs, trade restrictions, changes in currency values, economic
conditions and international relations. Geographic information is included in
Part II, Item 8, Page 32.

The Company uses basic raw materials such as steel, copper, aluminum, rubber and
plastic in its manufacturing process in addition to purchased motors,
compressors, timers, valves and other components. These materials are supplied
by established sources and the Company anticipates that such sources will, in
general, be able to meets its future requirements.

The Company holds a number of patents which are important in the manufacture of
its products. The licenses it holds on other patents are not considered to be
critical to its business. The Company holds a number of trademark registrations
of which the most important are ADMIRAL, HOOVER, JENN-AIR, MAGIC CHEF, MAYTAG,
NORGE and the associated corporate symbols.

The Company's home appliance business is not seasonal.

The Company is not dependent upon a single home appliance customer or a few
customers. Therefore, the loss of any one customer would not have a material
adverse effect on its business.

The dollar amount of backlog orders of the Company is not considered significant
for home appliances in relation to the total annual dollar volume of sales.
Because it is the Company's practice to maintain a level of inventory sufficient
to cover anticipated shipments and since orders are generally shipped upon
receipt, a large backlog would be unusual.

The home appliance market is highly competitive with the principal competitors
being larger than the Company. Competitive pressures make price increases
difficult to implement. There were no significant increases in the costs of the
Company's raw materials or components in 1994. Information regarding the
Company's improvement in gross margin over 1993 is included in Part II, Item 7,
Page 10. The Company uses product quality, customer service, advertising and
sales promotion, warranty and pricing as its principal methods of competition.

Expenditures for company-sponsored research and development activities relating
to the development of new products and the improvement of existing products are
included in Part II, Item 8, page 33.

Although the Company has many manufacturing sites with environmental concerns,
compliance with laws and regulations regarding the discharge of materials into
the environment or relating to the protection of the environment has not had a
material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the Company's competitive
position. The government mandated phase-out of chlorofluorocarbon ("CFC")
production, an aerosol propellant and refrigerant, by December 31, 1995 affects
the entire refrigeration industry. The Company continues to review various
alternatives to the use of CFC's. In addition, alternative washing machine
designs to meet anticipated government regulations dealing with energy usage are
being evaluated by the Company and the industry. Because compliance with these
current and anticipated laws and regulations is essentially prospective, it has
not had a significant impact on current operations. Although it is anticipated
that the industry and the Company will meet all final standards, capital
spending is expected to significantly increase over the next several years for
these reasons. Additional information regarding future capital spending for
compliance with environmental laws and regulations is included in Part I, Item
7, page 13.

The Company has been identified as one of a group of potentially responsible
parties by state and federal environmental protection agencies in remedial
activities related to various "Superfund" sites in the United States. The
Company does not presently anticipate any material adverse effect upon the

4


Company's earnings or financial condition arising from resolution of these
matters.

The number of employees of the Company within the home appliances segment as of
December 31, 1994 was 18,343.

VENDING EQUIPMENT

The vending equipment segment comprises approximately 6 percent of 1994
consolidated net sales.

The Company manufactures, through its Dixie-Narco subsidiary, a variety of soft
drink vending machines, glass front merchandisers and money changers. The
products are sold primarily to companies bottling soft drinks such as Coca-Cola,
Dr. Pepper, Pepsi Cola, Royal Crown Cola and Seven-Up. Products are also sold to
vending equipment distributors and manufacturers.

A new beverage vending machine (Flex-Pak)designed to increase flexibility and
capacity of vending machines and to enhance customer's data collection
capabilities is planned for full production in the third quarter of 1995.

The Company uses steel as a basic raw material in its manufacturing processes in
addition to purchased motors, compressors and other components made of copper,
aluminum, rubber, glass and plastic. These materials are supplied by
established sources and the Company anticipates that such sources will, in
general, be able to meet its future requirements.

The Company holds a number of patents which are important in the manufacture of
its products. The Company holds a DIXIE-NARCO trademark registration and its
associated corporate symbol.

Vending equipment sales, though stronger in the first six months of the year,
are considered by the Company to be essentially nonseasonal.

The Company's vending equipment segment is dependent upon a few major soft drink
suppliers. Therefore, the loss of one or more of these customers could have a
material adverse effect on this segment. The Company manufactures and sells its
vending machines and glass front merchandisers in competition with a small
number of other manufacturers and is the major manufacturer of such equipment.
The principal methods of competition utilized by the vending equipment segment
are product quality, customer service, delivery, warranty and price. Positive
factors pertaining to the Company's competitive position include product design,
manufacturing efficiency and superior service, while new product innovations by
competitors and severe price competition negatively impact its position.

The dollar amount of backlog orders of the Company is not considered significant
for vending equipment in relation to the total annual dollar volume of sales.
Because it is the Company's practice to maintain a level of inventory sufficient
to cover shipments and since orders are generally shipped upon receipt, a large
backlog would be unusual.

Although the Company has manufacturing sites with environmental concerns,
compliance with laws and regulations regarding the discharge of materials into
the environment or relating to the protection of the environment has not had a
material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the Company's competitive
position. The government mandated phase-out of chlorofluorocarbon ("CFC")
production, an aerosol propellant and refrigerant, by December 31, 1995 will
also affect the production technology in the vending equipment industry. This

5


has not had a significant impact on current operations, and it is anticipated
that the industry and the Company will meet all final standards.

The number of employees of the Company within the vending equipment segment as
of December 31, 1994 was 1,261.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Newton, Iowa. Major offices
and manufacturing facilities in the United States related to the home appliances
segment are located at: Galesburg, Illinois; Jackson, Tennessee; Indianapolis,
Indiana; Cleveland, Tennessee; Herrin, Illinois; Newton, Iowa; North Canton,
Ohio; and El Paso, Texas. Maytag Customer Service, which is located in
Cleveland, Tennessee, operates an automated national parts distribution center
in Milan, Tennessee which services all of the Company's appliance brands, except
Hoover. In addition to manufacturing facilities in the United States, the
Company has three other North American manufacturing facilities located in
Canada and Mexico. The Company also has two manufacturing facilities in the
United Kingdom and one in Portugal. Two manufacturing facilities in Australia
were sold at the end of 1994. Major facilities related to the vending equipment
segment are: Dixie-Narco, Inc., with offices and manufacturing facilities
located in Williston, South Carolina and Eastlake, Ohio.

The manufacturing facilities are well maintained, suitably equipped and in good
operating condition. A dishwasher manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tennessee
did not have sufficient capacity to meet sales demand in 1994; however, the
situation is expected to improve with a capacity expansion project expected to
be completed early in 1996. The other facilities used in the production of home
appliances and vending equipment had sufficient capacity to meet production
needs in 1994, and the Company expects that such capacity will be adequate for
planned production in 1995. The Company's 1994 capital expenditures and the
planned 1995 capital expenditures include an ongoing program of product
improvements and enhanced manufacturing efficiencies.

The Company also owns or leases sales offices in many large metropolitan areas
throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
Lease commitments are included in Part II, Item 8, Page 29.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is involved in contractual disputes, environmental, administrative
and legal proceedings and investigations of various types. Although any
litigation, proceeding or investigation has an element of uncertainty, the
Company believes that the outcome of any proceeding, lawsuit or claim which is
pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial position.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company did not submit any matters to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of 1994 through a solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparison of 1994 with 1993

The Company operates in two business segments, home appliances and vending
equipment. The operations of the home appliance segment represented 94.3 and
94.8 percent of net sales in 1994 and 1993.

NET SALES

The Company's consolidated net sales increased 12.9 percent in 1994 compared to
1993. Sales in the North American Appliance Group increased 14.2 percent from
1993 due to strong industry growth and market share gains in virtually all
product categories. These market share gains were achieved through new product
introductions and promotion of the premium Maytag and Jenn-Air brands. United
States industry growth in the Company's major product categories is expected to
continue in 1995, but at a lower rate than in 1994. Consolidated results for
1994 include thirteen months of operations for certain subsidiaries in Europe as
a one-month reporting lag was eliminated. Including this additional month in
the fourth quarter of 1994, European sales for the year increased 2.1 percent
from 1993. On a comparable basis, European sales decreased 4.3 percent from
1993 resulting from industry declines and market share losses. The loss of
market share in Europe is partially due to a strategic reduction in certain
unprofitable product lines and sales channels. Vending equipment sales
increased 22.4 percent in 1994 resulting from increased demand for the Company's
core soft drink vending machines from new and existing domestic customers and
sales of a new glass front merchandiser.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased 1.8 points resulting from
improvements in both industry segments. Margins in the North American Appliance
Group increased due to the favorable mix of the premium priced brands, higher
margins of new products, coordinated materials purchasing efforts and volume
related factory efficiencies. The improvement in European margins resulted from
the elimination of excess production capacity, reduction of headcount levels and
favorable product mix. Vending equipment margins declined primarily due to
unfavorable mix of electronic venders. The decline in vending equipment margins
was greater in the fourth quarter than in previous quarters of 1994 due to
unfavorable mix of glass front merchandisers sold outside the United States.
The Company is experiencing cost increases in many commodities, particularly
steel, plastics and corrugated materials. A portion of these increases is
expected to be offset with internal cost reduction initiatives, many of which
are currently in progress. Through these initiatives, the overall commodity
cost escalation in 1995 is expected to be contained to the low single-digit
percent range. This will cause pressure on operating margins in 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased to 16.4
percent of sales in 1994 from 17.2 percent in 1993. The decrease resulted from
higher sales volumes and cost control in both the appliances and vending
equipment segments. Staffing reductions in Europe also contributed to the
improvement from 1993. A reversal of excess reserves relating to the 1992
reorganization of the North American Appliance Group decreased S,G&A by $5
million in the fourth quarter of 1994. Results for Europe in the fourth quarter
of 1994 include $4.7 million of restructuring costs, the majority of which is

10


included in S,G&A.
The special charge in 1993 consisted of a $50 million pretax charge to cover
additional costs associated with two "free flights" promotional programs in
Europe. See further discussion under "Comparison of 1993 with 1992."

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income for 1994 totaled $322.8 million or 9.6 percent of sales
compared to $158.9 million or 5.3 percent of sales in 1993. Before the special
charge, operating income in 1993 was $208.9 million or 7.0 percent of sales.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company sold its home appliance operations
in Australia and New Zealand ("Australia") for $82.1 million in cash. The net
pretax loss from the sale was $13.1 million and resulted in an after-tax loss of
$16.4 million. The pretax loss resulted primarily from recognition of the
foreign currency translation loss that the Company had accumulated in
Shareowners' Equity since the operations were acquired in 1989. The higher loss
after tax resulted from a lower tax basis in the operations, as compared to the
book investment, in computing the tax liability. The absence of the Australia
business will not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results
in the future.

INCOME TAXES

The decrease in the effective tax rate from 1993 was primarily due to a $20
million tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 1994 associated with the
funding of operating losses and reorganization costs in Europe over the past
several years. This benefit was partially offset by the tax expense arising
from the divestiture of Australia. The notes to the consolidated financial
statements include a reconciliation between the statutory tax and the actual tax
provided.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE

In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 112 (FAS 112), "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." The new rules required recognition of a liability for
certain disability and severance benefits to former or inactive employees. The
cumulative effect of this accounting change in 1994 was $3.2 million or $.03 per
share. The ongoing expenses associated with adoption of the new statement are
not significant.

NET INCOME

Excluding the $16.4 million after-tax loss on sale of Australia in 1994, the
$3.2 million cumulative effect of accounting change in 1994, the $20 million
special tax benefit in 1994 and the $30 million after-tax special "free flights"
promotion charge in 1993, net income would have been $147.5 million or $1.38 per
share in 1994 compared to $81.3 million or $.76 per share in 1993.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparison of 1993 with 1992

The Company operates in two business segments, home appliances and vending
equipment. The operations of the home appliance segment represented 94.8 and
94.6 percent of net sales in 1993 and 1992.

11


NET SALES

Consolidated net sales decreased 1.8 percent in 1993 compared to 1992.
Although sales volumes in the United States increased due to improved consumer
confidence, the overall decline in sales resulted from a decrease in European
sales, less favorable currency conversions of sales outside the United States,
and the absence of sales from the microwave oven operation that was sold in June
1992. North American home appliance sales increased 3.1 percent in spite of the
absence of sales from the microwave oven operation. European sales decreased
22.1 percent from 1992 due to less favorable currency conversions and lower
sales volumes due to some market share declines. Sales in the Company's vending
equipment segment declined 5.3 percent from 1992 due to slow economic activity
in Europe, cutbacks by domestic bottlers and increased competition.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 24.2 percent from 23.1 percent
in 1992. The increase in margins resulted principally from improvements in the
North American Appliance Group. The improvement in the North American Appliance
Group was primarily due to production efficiencies, reductions of certain
employee related costs and some selective price increases. In addition, 1992
results for the North American Appliance Group included plant start-up costs.
Gross margins in Hoover Europe declined primarily due to operating
inefficiencies associated with previously announced plans to close a factory in
Dijon, France and higher pension costs. Vending equipment margins improved in
1993 due to reductions in material, distribution and warranty costs from 1992.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses decreased to 17.2 percent
in 1993 from 17.4 percent in 1992. The decline was principally due to cost
efficiencies resulting from the reorganization of the North American Appliance
Group. Special charges consisted of a $50 million pretax charge in the first
quarter of 1993 to cover additional costs associated with two "free flights"
promotional programs in Europe and a $95 million pretax charge in the third
quarter of 1992 for a reorganization of U.S. and European operations. Total
pretax charges relating to the "free flights" promotion programs in 1993 were
$60.4 million ($50 million in a special charge and $10.4 million in S,G&A) and
in 1992 were $12.2 million. Offsetting a portion of the 1993 European "free
flights" expenses in S,G&A was a $5 million reversal of excess reorganization
reserves in Europe.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income for 1993 totaled $158.9 million compared to $78.6 million in
1992. Before special charges, operating income would have been $208.9 million
or 7.0 percent of sales in 1993 compared to $173.6 million or 5.7 percent of
sales in 1992.

INCOME TAXES

The decrease in the effective tax rate for 1993 was primarily due to the 1992
tax rate reflecting the impact of non-recoverable losses outside the United
States. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include a
reconciliation between the statutory tax and the actual tax provided.




12


NET INCOME

Excluding special charges in 1993 and 1992 and the cumulative effect of
accounting changes in 1992, net income would have been $81.3 million or $.76 per
share in 1993 compared to net income of $65.4 million or $.62 per share in 1992.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year, the Company's primary sources of liquidity were cash provided
by operating activities, proceeds from a divestiture and external debt.
Detailed information on the Company's cash flows is presented in the Statements
of Consolidated Cash Flows.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow generated from operating activities consists of net income adjusted
for certain non-cash income and expenses and changes in working capital. Non-
cash income and expenses include items such as depreciation, amortization and
deferred income taxes. Working capital consists primarily of accounts
receivable, inventory and other current liabilities.
Cash flow from operating activities in 1994 improved significantly over 1993.
This was driven primarily by higher earnings, which included more non-cash
expenses, offset by a decrease in the selected working capital items mentioned
above. Although cash flow in 1993 benefited from a withdrawal from an overfunded
pension plan in Europe, cash outflows related to the 1992 reorganization of the
European operations and the 1993 European "free flights" promotional programs
were lower in 1994 than in 1993. The funding of these events was substantially
completed in 1994.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The company continually invests in its businesses to improve product design and
manufacturing processes and to increase capacity when needed. Capital spending
in 1994 was lower than 1993 resulting from more projects being in a
developmental stage in 1994 compared to projects in an implementation stage in
1993. In 1994 the Company announced several new capital projects that will
increase capital spending over the next several years. This includes $50
million for a new high efficiency clothes washer, $160 million for a complete
redesign of the Company's refrigerator product and manufacturing processes and
$14 million for a dishwasher plant capacity expansion. The new clothes washer
will be designed to comply with anticipated government regulations dealing with
energy usage and will use water more efficiently. The refrigeration project
will incorporate changes expected to be required by 1998 Department of Energy
refrigeration standards and the upcoming ban on chlorofluorocarbons ("CFCs").
Planned capital expenditures for 1995 approximate $175 million and relate to
these new projects as well as other ongoing production improvements and product
enhancements.
Proceeds from the sale of the Company's investment in its home appliance
operations in Australia provided cash of $82.1 million in 1994.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Dividend payments in both 1994 and 1993 amounted to $53.6 million or $.50 per
share.
The Company used cash flow generated from operations in 1994 to reduce
commercial paper borrowings and long term debt by $154.1 million. The Company's
ratio of debt to total capitalization decreased from 60.6 percent at December

13


31, 1993 to 50.7 percent at December 31, 1994. In February 1995, a portion of
the proceeds from the sale of the Australia operations were used to purchase $46
million of the Company's outstanding 8.875 percent notes due in 1997, included
in long-term debt at December 31, 1994. The cost of early extinguishment of the
notes was not significant.
Any funding requirements for future capital expenditures and other cash
requirements in excess of cash generated from operations will be supplemented by
the issuance of commercial paper, debt securities and bank borrowings. The
Company's commercial paper program is supported by a credit agreement with a
consortium of banks which provides revolving credit facilities totaling $300
million. This agreement expires July 13, 1998 and includes covenants for
interest coverage and leverage. Additional funds available at December 31, 1994
under all credit agreements, applying the terms of the most restrictive
covenant, totaled $313 million.

Report of Independent Auditors



Shareowners and Board of Directors
Maytag Corporation


We have audited the accompanying statements of consolidated financial condition
of Maytag Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareowners' equity and cash flows
for each of three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and related schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and related schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Maytag Corporation
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statement taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in notes to consolidated financial statements, in 1992 the Company
changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions
and income taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company's European
subsidiaries were consolidated as of a date one month earlier than subsidiaries
in the United States. In the fourth quarter of 1994, this one month reporting
lag was eliminated and European results for the quarter ended December 31, 1994
included activity for four months. The effect of this change increased net
sales by $25.2 million in the fourth quarter of 1994, and the impact on net
income was not significant.
Exchange rate fluctuations from translating the financial statements of
subsidiaries located outside the United States into U.S. dollars and exchange
gains and losses from designated intercompany foreign currency transactions are
recorded in a separate component of shareowners' equity. All other foreign
exchange gains and losses are included in income.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial
statements to conform with the 1994 presentation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: Highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less
when purchased are considered by the Company to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 80 percent
and 79 percent of the Company's inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The
remaining inventories, which are primarily outside the United States, are stated
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
INTANGIBLES: Intangibles principally represent goodwill, which is the cost of
business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible
assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is amortized over 40 years on the
straight-line basis and the carrying value is reviewed annually. If this review
indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable as determined based on the
undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization
period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill will be reduced by the
estimated shortfall of cash flows.
INCOME TAXES: Certain expenses (principally related to accelerated tax
depreciation, employee benefits and various other accruals) are recognized in
different periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment is stated on the
basis of cost. Depreciation expense is calculated principally on the straight-
line method to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful
lives.
SHORT AND LONG-TERM DEBT: The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings
under its short-term revolving credit agreements approximate their fair value.
The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated based on quoted
market prices of comparable instruments.
FORWARD FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Company enters into forward foreign
exchange contracts to hedge exposures related to foreign currency transactions.
Gains and losses are recognized in the same period in which the underlying
transaction is recorded.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Business Disposition
In December 1994, the Company sold the stock of its home appliance operations in
Australia and New Zealand for $82.1 million in cash. The sale resulted in a
pretax loss of $13.1 million and an after-tax loss of $16.4 million. Sales and
related operating income(loss) for this business totaled $142 million and $12.6

21


million in 1994, $127.9 million and $3.4 million in 1993 and $131.8 million and
$(.1) million in 1992.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inventories December 31
In thousands 1994 1993

Finished products $254,345 $282,841
Work in process, raw materials and supplies 132,924 146,313
$387,269 $429,154

If the FIFO method of inventory accounting, which approximates current cost,
had been used for all inventories, they would have been $77.1 million and
$76.3 million higher than reported at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pension Benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries have noncontributory defined benefit pension
plans covering most employees. Plans covering salaried and management
employees generally provide pension benefits that are based on an average of
the employee's earnings and credited service. Plans covering hourly employees
generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The
Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plans sufficient to
meet minimum funding requirements.

A summary of the components of net periodic pension expense (income) for the
defined benefit plans is as follows:
Year ended December 31

Service cost--benefits earned during the
period $ 28,550 $ 24,067 $ 21,469

Other net amortization and deferral 9,474 4,917 6,850
Net pension expense (income) $ 15,178 $ 6,165 $ (3,379)

Assumptions used in determining net periodic pension expense (income) for the
defined benefit plans in the United States were:
1994 1993 1992

Discount rates 7.5% 8.5% 9.0%
Rates of compensation increase 5.0 6.0 6.0
Expected long-term rates of return on assets 9.5 9.5 9.5

For the valuation of pension obligations at the end of 1994 and for
determining pension expense in 1995, the discount rate and rate of
compensation increase have been increased to 8.5 percent and 6.0 percent
respectively. Assumptions for defined benefit plans outside the United States
are comparable to the above in all periods.


22


As of December 31, 1994, approximately 89 percent of the plan assets are
invested in listed stocks and bonds. The balance is invested in real estate and
short term investments.
Certain pension plans in the United States provide that in the event of a
change of Company control and plan termination, any excess funding may be used
only to provide pension benefits or to fund retirees' health care benefits.
The use of all pension assets for anything other than providing employee
benefits is either limited by legal restrictions or subject to severe taxation.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in
the statements of consolidated financial condition for the Company's defined
benefit pension plans:

Pension investments above of approximately $112 million and $104 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and pension income of $1.6 million, $5.5 million and
$10.9 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992 relate to pension plans covering employees
in Europe.
In 1994 and 1993, the Company recorded $84.7 million and $4.9 million,
respectively, to recognize the minimum pension liability required by the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87 (FAS 87),
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The transaction, which had no effect
on income, was offset by recording an intangible asset of an equivalent
amount. The intangible asset represents a future economic benefit arising
from the granting of retroactive pension benefits over many years and will
be amortized to expense over the remaining average working lifetime of the
affected employees. The intangible asset is required to be recognized in
1994 in accordance with FAS 87 due to a decline in the market value of the
pension assets.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides postretirement
health care and life insurance benefits for its employees in the United States.
Most of the postretirement plans are contributory and contain certain other
cost sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The plans are
unfunded. Employees do not vest, and these benefits are subject to change.
Death benefits for certain retired employees are funded as part of, and paid
out of pension plans.
In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," which requires employers to accrue the cost of such retirement
benefits during the employee's service with the Company. The transition
obligation of $355 million as of January 1, 1992 was recorded as a one-time
charge in the first quarter of 1992 and reduced net income by $222 million or
$2.09 per share.

A summary of the components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost is as
follows:
Year ended December 31
In thousands 1994 1993 1992

Service cost $15,440 $10,225 $ 8,258
Interest cost 29,448 26,939 30,421
Net amortization and deferral (5,957) (8,228) 2,106
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $38,931 $28,936 $40,785

Assumptions used in determining net periodic postretirement benefit cost were:


1994 1993 1992
Health care cost trend rates (1):
Current year 13.0% 14.0% 15.0%
Decreasing gradually to 6.0% 6.0% 6.0%
Until the year 2001 2009 2009
Each year thereafter 6.0% 6.0% 6.0%
Discount rates 7.5% 8.5% 9.0%

(1)Weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost
of covered benefits.

For the valuation of the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 1994 and
for determining postretirement benefit costs in 1995, the health care cost trend
rates were decreased. This results in a health care cost trend rate of 9
percent in 1995, decreasing gradually to 6 percent until 2001 and remaining at
that level thereafter. In addition, the discount rate was increased to 8.5
percent.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant impact on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by $40.2 million and
the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1994 by $6.2 million.
The following table presents the status of the plans reconciled with amounts
recognized in the statements of consolidated financial condition for the
Company's postretirement benefits.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Other Employee Benefits
The Company has established a trust to administer a leveraged employee stock
ownership plan (ESOP) within an existing employee savings plan. The Company has
guaranteed the debt of the trust and will service the repayment of the debt,
including interest, through the Company's employee savings plan contribution and
from the quarterly dividends paid on stock held by the ESOP. Dividends paid by
the Company on stock held by the ESOP totaled $1.4 million in 1994, 1993 and
1992. The ESOP notes are collateralized by the Common stock owned by the ESOP
trust. The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP to the extent the
dividends earned on the shares held are less than the debt service
requirements. The Company made contributions to the plan of $5.9 million,
$5.5 million and $5.2 million for loan payments in 1994, 1993 and 1992. As
the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to
active employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year.
Accordingly, the loan outstanding is recorded as debt and the cost of shares
pledged as collateral are reported as a reduction of Shareowners' Equity
(employee stock plans). As the shares are released from collateral, the
Company reports compensation expense based on the historical cost of the
shares. The Company also expenses any additional contributions required if
the shares released from collateral are less than the shares earned by the
employees. All shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for
earnings per share computations and dividends earnedon the shares are recorded
as a reduction of retained earnings. Expenses of the ESOP, the majority of
which represents interest on the ESOP debt, totaled $7.4 million, $7.5 million
and $7.2 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992. The ESOP shares as of December 31 were
as follows:
1994 1993
Released and allocated shares 884,373 723,396
Unreleased shares 1,972,770 2,133,747
2,857,143 2,857,143

In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 112 (FAS 112), "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." The new rules require recognition of a liability for
certain disability and severance benefits to former or inactive employees. The
cumulative effect of the accounting change was $3.2 million or $.03 per share.
The ongoing expenses associated with the adoption of this standard are not
significant.

Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of
adopting Statement 109 was to decrease net income by $85 million or $.80 per
share as of January 1, 1992.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the
Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

At December 31, 1994, the Company has available for tax purposes approximately
$236 million of net operating loss carryforwards outside the United States, of
which $59 million expire in various years through 2004 and $177 million is
available indefinitely. Of this amount, $32 million relates to pre-acquisition
net operating losses which will be used to reduce intangibles when utilized.

the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries (approximately $23 million at
December 31, 1994), taxes which would result from distribution have not been
provided on such earnings. If such earnings were distributed, additional taxes
payable would be significantly reduced by available tax credits arising from
taxes paid outside the United States.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, during 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
$103 million, $68.3 million, and $28.5 million, respectively.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes Payable
Notes payable consisted of notes payable to banks, in addition to $16 and $112
million in commercial paper borrowings at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The
Company's commercial paper program is supported by a credit agreement totaling
$300 million, which became effective on July 14, 1994 and expires on July 13,
1998. Subject to certain exceptions, the credit agreement requires the Company
to maintain certain quarterly levels of maximum leverage and minimum interest
coverage. At December 31, 1994, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants. Additional funds available at December 31, 1994 under all credit
agreements, applying the terms of the most restrictive covenant, totaled $313
million. The weighted average interest rate on all notes payable and commercial
paper borrowings was 6.5 percent and 4.0 percent at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

The 9.75 percent notes, the 8.875 percent notes due in 1999 and the medium-term
notes grant the holders the right to require the Company to repurchase all or
any portion of their notes at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof,
together with accrued interest, following the occurrence of both a change in
Company control and a credit rating decline.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, based on public quotes if
available, exceeded the amount recorded in the statements of consolidated
financial condition at December 31, 1994 and 1993 by $17.3 million and $83.7
million, respectively.
Interest paid during 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $75.2 million, $76.2 million,
and $77.4 million. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt in each of the
next five years is as follows (in thousands): 1995-$43,411; 1996-$3,495; 1997-

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the actual
and anticipated exposures that are created by the export and import of products
and supplies along with foreign currency intercompany loans. The purpose of the
Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the
risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from these transactions could be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.
At December 31, 1994 the Company had forward foreign exchange contracts, all
having maturities of less than twelve months, of $24.0 million. The majority of
the contracts are between currencies not involving the exchange of U.S. dollars.
The table below summarizes by currency, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the

Stock Options
In 1992, the shareowners approved the 1992 stock option plan for executives and
key employees. The plan provides that options could be granted to key employees
for not more than 3.6 million shares of the Common stock of the Company. The
option price under the plan is the fair market value at the date of the grant.
Options may not be exercised until one year after the date granted.
Under the Company's 1986 plan which expired in 1991, options to purchase 1.6
million shares of Common stock were granted at the market value at the date of
grant. Some options were also granted under this plan with stock appreciation
rights (SAR) which entitle the employee to surrender the right to receive up to
one-half of the shares covered by the option and to receive a cash payment equal
to the difference between the option price and the market value of the shares

29


being surrendered. Under a plan which expired in 1986, options to purchase
800,000 shares of Common stock were granted at the market value at date of
grant. Option shares outstanding under all of the plans described above total
2.7 million at December 31, 1994.
In April 1990, the Company's shareowners approved the Maytag Corporation
1989 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors which authorizes the issuance
of up to 250,000 shares of Common stock to the Company's non-employee directors.
Options under this plan are immediately exercisable upon grant.

The following is a summary of certain information relating to these plans:

available for future grants at December 31, 1994. In the event of a change in
Company control, all stock options granted become immediately exercisable.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Awards
In 1991, the shareowners approved the 1991 Stock Incentive Award Plan For Key
Executives. This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2.5 million shares of
Common stock to certain key employees of the Company, of which 1,803,631 shares
are available for future grants as of December 31, 1994. Under the terms of the
plan, the granted stock vests three years after the award date and is contingent
upon pre-established performance objectives. In the event of a change in
Company control, all incentive stock awards become fully vested. No incentive
stock awards may be granted under this plan on or after May 1, 1996.

Incentive stock awards outstanding at December 31, 1994 and amounts charged to
expense for the anticipated payout are:

Shareowners' Equity
The Company has 24 million authorized shares of Preferred stock, par value $1
per share, none of which is issued.
Pursuant to a Shareholder Rights Plan approved by the Company in 1988, each
share of Common stock carries with it one Right. Until exercisable, the Rights
will not be transferable apart from the Company's Common stock. When
exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase one one-hundredth of
a share of Preferred stock of the Company at a price of $75. The Rights will
only become exercisable if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of the
Company's Common stock which may be reduced to not less than 10 percent at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. In the event the Company is acquired in a
merger or 50 percent or more of its consolidated assets or earnings power are
sold, each Right entitles the holder to purchase Common stock of either the
surviving or acquired company at one-half its market price. The Rights may be
redeemed in whole by the Company at a purchase price of $.01 per Right. The
Preferred shares will be entitled to 100 times the aggregate per share dividend
payable on the Company's Common stock and to 100 votes on all matters submitted
to a vote of shareowners. The Rights expire May 2, 1998.

Sales between affiliates of different geographic regions are not
significant. The amount of exchange gain or loss included in operations in any
of the years presented was not significant.
During 1994, the Company changed the manner in which it allocates certain
items of income and expense to its industry segments and in compiling its
geographic information. This resulted in the allocation to its business units
of certain income and expenses that were previously allocated to "Corporate."
Certain industry segment and geographic information referred to above has been
restated to reflect this change.
The Corporate category in 1994 includes a $13.1 million pretax loss and
identifiable assets of $82.1 million in cash from the sale of the Company's
home appliance operations in Australia.
Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company's European
subsidiaries were consolidated as of a date one month earlier than subsidiaries
in the United States. In the fourth quarter of 1994, this one month reporting
lag was eliminated and European results for the quarter ended December 31, 1994
include activity for four months. The effect of this change increased net
sales by $25.2 million in the fourth quarter and the impact on income before
income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting changes was not significant.
In 1993 the Company incurred $60.4 million in pretax charges for two "free
flights" promotion programs in Europe ($50 million in a special charge and
$10.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses). In 1992 the
Company incurred $95 million of reorganization expenses for marketing and
distribution changes in North America and plant closings and other
organizational changes in Europe. Of the $95 million allocated to Home
Appliances, $40 million was allocated to North America and $55 million to
Europe.

Contingent Liabilities
At December 31, 1994, the Company is contingently liable for guarantees of
indebtedness owed by a third party ("the borrower") of $24 million relating to
the sale of one of its manufacturing facilities in 1992. The borrower is
performing under the payment terms of the loan agreement; however, it was out
of compliance with certain financial covenants at December 31, 1994 for which
it has requested a waiver from the lender involved. The indebtedness is
collateralized by the assets of the borrower.
Other contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business,
including guarantees, repurchase agreements, pending litigation, environmental
issues, taxes and other claims are not considered to be significant in relation
to the Company's consolidated financial position.

The quarter ended September 30, 1994 includes a $20 million one-time tax
benefit associated with the funding of reorganization costs in Europe over the
past several years. The quarter ended December 31, 1994 includes a $16.4
million after-tax loss from the sale of the Company's home appliance operations
in Australia.
Prior to the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company's European
subsidiaries were consolidated as of a date one month earlier than subsidiaries
in the United States. In the fourth quarter of 1994, this one month reporting
lag was eliminated and European results for the quarter ended December 31, 1994
include activity for four months. The effect of this change increased net
sales by $25.2 million in the fourth quarter and the impact on gross profit and


33


net income was not significant.
The quarter ended March 31, 1993 includes $60.4 million in pretax charges
($50 million in a special charge and $10.4 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses) for additional costs associated with two Hoover Europe
"free flights" promotion programs.
