PART I
Item 1. Business
The Andersons Management Corp. (The "Corporation") was formed in August
1987, principally for the purpose of providing management services to The
Andersons, a partnership (the "Partnership") and to act as the Partnership's
sole General Partner. The Corporation began operations in 1988 when it
completed an offering of its Class A and Class B Common Shares, transferred
$500,000 of offering proceeds to the Partnership as its capital investment,
and became the sole General Partner of the Partnership. Ownership of the
Corporation's Class A and Class B Common Shares is restricted to limited
partners of The Andersons.
The Corporation provides all management services to the Partnership
pursuant to a Management Agreement entered into between the Partnership and
the Corporation. The fee paid to the Corporation for its services is an
amount equal to (a) the salaries and cost of all employee benefits, and other
normal employee costs, paid or accrued on behalf of the Corporation's
employees who furnish services to the Partnership, (b) reimbursable expenses
incurred by the Corporation in connection with its services to the
Partnership, or on the Partnership's behalf, and (c) an amount equal to $5,000
for each 1% of return on partners' capital up to a 15% annual return on
partners' capital, plus $7,500 for each 1% of return on partners' capital
between 15% and 25%, plus $10,000 for each 1% of return on partners' capital
greater than a 25% annual return to cover that part of the Corporation's
general overhead which is attributable to Partnership services and to provide
an element of profit to the Corporation. In addition to the fee payable to
the Corporation, the Management Agreement also provides for certain other
customary terms and conditions, including termination rights, and requires the
Corporation to make its books and records available to the Partnership for
inspection at reasonable times.
Business and Properties of the Partnership
The Partnership is engaged in agriculture which includes grain
merchandising, operating grain elevator facilities located in Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois, and distributing agricultural supplies such as
fertilizers, seeds and farm supplies. The Partnership is also engaged in the
operation of retail general stores; the production, distribution and marketing
of lawn care products and corncob products and the repair and leasing of rail
cars.
For more complete information as to the Partnership's business and
properties, and other information regarding the Partnership's operations,

31, 1994 (the "Partnership Form 10-K"), which is filed as an exhibit hereto
through incorporation by reference.
Item 2. Properties

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
of approximately $1.2 and $1.3 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The largest component of the Corporation's working capital was
a receivable from the Partnership. This receivable represents the costs
incurred by the Corporation in providing management and labor services to the
Partnership but not yet paid by the Corporation and therefore not yet
collected from the Partnership. The Corporation has no short-term or long-
term debt. During 1994, the Corporation offered Class A and Class B Common
Shares and received $21,369 under that offering. Class A and Class B Common
Shares redeemed during 1993 totalled $18,405. Management believes, given the
relationship between the Corporation and the Partnership whereby the
Corporation is reimbursed by the Partnership for its cost in providing
management and labor services to the Partnership, and given the Corporation's
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment of $1.2 million, that the
Corporation's liquidity is adequate to meet both short-term and long-term
needs.
Results of Operations
Years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993:
Net income in 1994 was $252,351 or $54.72 per Class A Common Share,
compared to $146,399 or $31.66 per share in 1993. Income earned by the
Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $73,318 in 1994 and
the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's return
on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was up $213,563. These
increases were due to improved 1994 operating results of the Partnership and
an increase in space utilized by the Partnership in the Corporation's office
building. Interest earned and other income decreased by $27,096, primarily
due to less space leased by outside tenants in the Corporation's office
building. Federal income tax expense increased due to the increase in income.
Years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992:
Net income in 1993 was $146,399, or $31.66 per Class A Common Share,
compared to $9,083, or $1.96 per share in 1992. Income earned by the
Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $51,398 in 1993 and
the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's return
on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was up $175,185. These
increases are a result of the improved 1993 operating results of the
Partnership and an increase in reimbursable expenses. Federal income tax
expense was up due to the increase in income.
During 1993 the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions." The Corporation elected to recognize the accrued benefits
earned by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation)
prospectively, which means this cost will be recognized as a component of the
net periodic postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately 20
years. The effect of adopting the new rules increased the 1993 net periodic
postretirement benefit cost by approximately $850,000. This cost was included
in the management fee charged to the Partnership in 1993 and, therefore, had
no impact on the operating results of the Corporation. Also during 1993, as a
result of lower prevailing interest rates, the Corporation decreased the
discount rate used to determine its projected benefit obligation for its
pension plan and for its postretirement health care benefits from 8.0% to
7.5%. Because the Corporation charges all employee benefit costs to the
Partnership as part of the management fee, the change in the discount rate
will not impact the future operating results of the Corporation.

Report of Independent Auditors
Shareholders
The Andersons Management Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Andersons Management
Corp. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income,
cash flows, and changes in shareholders' equity for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1994. 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 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 financial position of The Andersons Management
Corp. at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 1993 the Corporation
changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents
The Corporation considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Securities
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" in 1994.
There was no cumulative effect as a result of the adoption.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet
date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Corporation
has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-
to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Marketable equity
securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are
classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at
fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a
separate component of shareholders' equity.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." The impact of this change was not significant.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
and income tax purposes. Temporary differences relating to costs and expenses
incurred on behalf of the Partnership are passed on to the Partnership through
offsetting differences in the recognition of management fees by the
Corporation. Deferred tax assets of the Corporation relate primarily to
temporary differences associated with the Corporation's share of Partnership
net income and amounted to $29,900 and $17,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Taxes paid during 1994 and 1993 amounted to $135,500 and $5,000, respectively,
and tax refunds amounted to $5,900 in 1992.
Description of Common Shares
Common shares of the Corporation are held by limited partners of The
Andersons. The holders of Class A shares are entitled to dividends, if
declared, and to any surplus, earned or otherwise, of the Corporation upon
liquidation or dissolution. The holders of Class B shares have sole voting
power, but are not entitled to share in any dividends or surplus of the
Corporation. Net income per share of Common Stock is computed based on the
weighted average number of Class A Common Shares outstanding during the year.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on net income.
2. Investment in The Andersons
The Corporation is the sole general partner of The Andersons (the
Partnership). As sole general partner, the Corporation provides all
management and labor services required by the Partnership in its operations.
In exchange for providing management services the Corporation charges the
Partnership a management fee equal to: a) the salaries and cost of all
employee benefits and other normal employee costs, paid or accrued for
services performed by the Corporation's employees on behalf of the
Partnership, b) reimbursable expenses incurred by the Corporation in
connection with its services to the Partnership, or on the Partnership's
behalf, and c) an amount based on an achieved level of return on partners'
invested capital of the Partnership to cover the Corporation's general
overhead and to provide an element of profit to the Corporation.
The Corporation leases an office building under a lease that commenced on May
1, 1990. The Corporation is required to pay annual lease payments of $771,397
through 2000. The Corporation charges the Partnership rent for the space
utilized in its operations, which amounted to $635,714, $529,982 and $516,344
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Partnership generally pays the Corporation for salaries and employee
benefits as those costs are paid by the Corporation. Amounts due from the
Partnership relating to postretirement benefits that will not be received
within one year have been classified as a noncurrent asset.
The components of the management fee and rent charged by the Corporation to
the Partnership consisted of the following:
Year ended December 31

Costs and expenses:
Salaries and wages $53,726,460 $47,706,731 $43,356,247

Total management fees $70,394,855 $63,107,331 $57,388,268
3. Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation sponsors several employee benefit programs which include the
following: Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Retirement Savings Investment Plan,
Cash Profit Sharing Plan, Management Performance Program and health insurance
benefits.
Substantially all permanent employees are covered by the Corporation's Defined
Benefit Pension Plan. The benefits are based on the employee's highest five
consecutive years of compensation during their last ten years of service. The
Corporation's policy is to pay into trusteed funds each year an amount equal
to the annual pension expense calculated under the Entry Age Normal method.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized
in the Corporation's balance sheets as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
1994 1993
Accumulated benefit obligation,
including vested benefits of $5,743,223
in 1994 and $4,815,512 in 1993 $6,107,230 $5,159,779
Projected benefit obligation for
service rendered to date $9,524,599 $8,222,470
Plan assets at fair value 7,297,051 6,568,985

Net pension liability recognized in
balance sheet (includes current portion
of $415,365 in 1994 and $645,966 in 1993) $1,956,375 $2,279,767
Net periodic pension cost includes the following components:
Year ended December 31
1994 1993 1992
Service cost - benefits earned
during the period $1,082,143 $1,135,948 $1,088,099
Interest cost on projected
benefit obligation 563,333 571,278 461,896
Return on plan assets 70,796 (493,623) (331,498)
Net amortization and deferral (655,230) 10,420 (32,317)
Net periodic pension cost $1,061,042 $1,224,023 $1,186,180
The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected
benefit obligation were 7.5% and 4%, for 1994 and 1993. The weighted average
long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining the expected
return on plan assets included in net periodic pension cost was 8% for 1994,
1993 and 1992. Substantially all of the plan assets are invested in a family
of mutual funds.
Under the Retirement Savings Investment Plan (RSIP) eligible participating
employees may elect to contribute specified amounts up to the lesser of $9,240
or 15% of their gross pay on a tax-deferred basis to a trust for investment in
a family of mutual funds. The Corporation contributes an amount equal to 50%
of the participant's contributions, but not in excess of 3% of the
participant's annual gross pay. Participants are fully vested in their
contributions to the RSIP. Participants hired before January 1, 1993 vest
immediately in the Corporation's matching contributions and participants hired
after December 31, 1992 vest ratably over five years. The matching
contributions to the RSIP amounted to $857,804, $761,536 and $682,099 in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Substantially all permanent employees are included in the Cash Profit Sharing
Plan. The Plan provides for participants to receive certain percentages of
their pay as various threshold levels of return on capital of the Partnership
are achieved. The Corporation also has a Management Performance Program for
certain levels of management. Participants in the Management Performance
Program are not eligible to participate in the Cash Profit Sharing Plan. The
expense for profit sharing/management performance programs was $3,040,207,
$2,050,273 and $1,331,260 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Corporation currently provides certain health insurance benefits to its
employees, including retired employees. The Corporation has reserved the
right in most circumstances to modify the benefits provided and in recent
years has in fact made changes. Further changes were implemented in 1993 that
will effect the benefits provided to future retirees. These changes include
the minimum retirement age, years of service and a sharing in the cost of
providing these benefits. In addition, the Medicare Part B reimbursement
currently paid by the Corporation for retirees is being phased out over a
five-year period.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." This statement requires that the cost of
providing postretirement health care benefits be accrued during the employees'
working career rather than recognizing the cost of these benefits as claims
are paid. The Corporation has elected to recognize the accrued benefits earned
by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation) prospectively,
which means this cost will be recognized as a component of the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately 20 years. The
effect of adopting the new rules increased net periodic postretirement benefit
cost by approximately $840,000 and $850,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Postretirement benefit costs for 1992 of approximately $404,000, which were
recorded on a cash basis, have not been restated. As all employee benefit
costs are charged to the Partnership as described in Note 2, the change in
accounting for postretirement benefit costs had no effect on the Corporation's
net income.
The Corporation's postretirement benefits are not funded. The status of the
plan as of December 31 is as follows:
1994 1993
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees $ 6,281,193 $ 5,534,885
Fully eligible active plan participants 1,691,711 752,975
Other active participants 2,764,533 3,065,722
10,737,437 9,353,582
Unrecognized net transition obligation (7,570,994) (7,991,605)
Unrecognized net loss (1,647,711) (582,737)
Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 1,518,732 $ 779,240
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost includes the following components:
1994 1993
Service cost $ 245,186 $ 181,457
Interest cost 749,651 653,625
Net amortization 451,999 420,611
Net periodic postretirement benefit costs $ 1,446,836 $ 1,255,693
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the postretirement
benefit cost was 7.5% for 1994 and 8% for 1993. The weighted average discount
rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 7.5%.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of
benefits covered by the plan was 11% in 1994, declining to 5% through the year
2000 and remaining at that level thereafter. A 1% increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate would increase the annual postretirement benefit
cost by approximately $185,000 and the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1994 by approximately $1,670,000.
To partially fund self-insured health care and other employee benefits, the
Corporation makes payments to a trust. Assets of the trust amounted to
$2,639,566 and $2,710,395 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
such amounts are included in prepaid expenses.

(a) Corporation's matching contributions to its 401(k) retirement plan.
Pension Plan
The Corporation has a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan")
which covers substantially all permanent and regular part-time employees. The
amounts listed in the table below are payable annually upon retirement at age
65 or older. A discount of six percent per year is applied for retirement
before age 65. The pension benefits are based on a single-life annuity and
have been reduced for Social Security covered compensation. The compensation
covered by the Pension Plan is equal to the employees' base pay, which in the
Summary Compensation Table is the executive's salary, but beginning in 1989
was limited to $200,000, adjusted for inflation, and beginning in 1994 is
limited to $150,000, which will also be adjusted for inflation in future
years. Each of the named executives has six years of credited service.

Certain Transactions - Alshire-Columbus:
The Partnership and certain of the directors and executive officers of
the Corporation were limited partners in Alshire-Columbus Limited Partnership
("Alshire-Columbus"), an Ohio limited partnership, which owned the
Partnership's Brice General Store in Columbus, Ohio. The store was leased to
the Partnership by Alshire-Columbus at an annual base rental of $732,000.
The Partnership contributed the land, at its cost ($1,367,000), for its
original limited partner interest. The other limited partners of Alshire-
Columbus contributed $1,450,000, representing 35 limited partnership units.
None of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation or their
family members owned more than one limited partnership unit, except for
Richard P. Anderson, who owned two units.
In the aggregate, 8 3/4 units were owned by directors and executive
officers of the Corporation, and their family members owned an additional four
units. The general partner of Alshire-Columbus experienced difficulties in
refinancing the real property after the original seven year term of their
note. During 1994, The Andersons obtained an independent appraisal of the
property valued at $8.5 million and made an offer to purchase the property for
that price. The initial lease term was scheduled to expire in 2000. The
limited partners of Alshire-Columbus accepted the purchase offer from The
Andersons. According to the partnership agreement, upon the sale of the real
estate The Andersons received a preferential distribution from the proceeds of
the sale equal to the original cost of the land contributed by The Andersons.
The remaining proceeds from the sale, after payment of the debt and return of
capital to limited partners, was distributed according to the partnership
agreement which was 75% to the limited partners; 24% to The Andersons, as
original limited partner; and 1% to the general partner.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) No individual beneficially owns as much as 5% of the Voting Class B
Common Shares of the Corporation. As of March 1, 1995, the descendants of the
founders of the Partnership beneficially held 3,926 shares of the voting Class

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See "Item 1. Business" regarding personnel and management services
provided by the Corporation to the Partnership. The management fee received
by the Corporation in 1994 under the Management Agreement between the
Corporation and the Partnership was $70,394,855. See Note 2 to the
Corporation's Financial Statements.
The office building utilized by the Partnership is leased by the
Corporation from an unaffiliated lessor under a net lease expiring in 2000.
The Partnership subleases approximately 90% of the building from the
Corporation and pays the Corporation rent for the space it occupies. Under
the terms of the sublease, the Partnership also is responsible for insurance,
utilities, taxes, general maintenance, snow removal, lawn care and similar
upkeep expenses for the entire building. The Corporation reimburses the
Partnership for management and maintenance of the building, including the
space it does not occupy. The amount paid by the Partnership to the
Corporation for the portion of the building occupied by the Partnership is
designed to reimburse the Corporation for its equivalent cost under the
Corporation's lease. In 1993, the rental payments made by the Partnership to
the Corporation, net of the reimbursement for management and maintenance of
the building was $635,714, which is included in the management fee referred to
in the preceding paragraph.
