PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL

The electrical equipment industry is characterized by diversity of
markets, global competition and relatively high barriers to entry due to
intensive capital requirements and required access to market channels. From its
inception in 1984, MagneTek pursued a growth strategy designed to achieve the
size necessary to compete with domestic and foreign electrical equipment
manufacturers. During the late 1980s and early 1990s the Company grew rapidly,
primarily through acquisitions of electrical equipment businesses supplemented
by internal growth. While this growth enabled the Company to achieve a
significant share of several electrical product and service markets, and
enhanced efforts to reduce manufacturing costs through economies of scale and
vertical integration, the use of debt to finance the majority of the
acquisitions left the Company with a relatively high degree of financial
leverage in its balance sheet.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, MagneTek's Board of
Directors approved a plan to focus the Company's resources on fewer product
lines and reduce debt. Subsequent to fiscal year end, the Board of Directors
adopted a formal restructuring program including the sale of certain businesses
comprised primarily of the Company's utility, military, controls and custom
motor product lines (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The discussion which follows focuses on the continuing operations of the
Company.

The Company operates in two business segments: Ballasts and
Transformers, including lighting products (magnetic and electronic lighting
ballasts), power supplies and small transformer products; and Motors and
Controls, which includes fractional and integral horsepower electric motors,
medium voltage generators and variable speed electronic drives.

BALLASTS AND TRANSFORMERS SEGMENT

GENERAL. The Ballasts and Transformers segment, which accounted for
58% of net sales in fiscal 1994, manufactures a broad range of equipment in the
United States and Europe in two general product groups: Lighting products,
including fluorescent (both magnetic and electronic) and high intensity
discharge ("HID") ballasts; and Transformer products, including electronic power
supplies, various small component and specialty transformers, and dry type
distribution transformers. The Company's European operations, concentrated
primarily in magnetic lighting ballasts and electronic power supplies, accounted
for 29% of the segment's total net sales in fiscal 1994. One customer, Lithonia
Lighting, a lighting fixture OEM, accounted for 10% of the segment's total net
sales in fiscal 1994.

LIGHTING PRODUCTS. For fiscal 1994, sales of Lighting products
represented 73% of the segment's total net sales. The Company is an industry
leader, measured by market share, in magnetic fluorescent ballasts both
domestically and in Europe, and in electronic fluorescent ballasts domestically.
Sales of magnetic ballasts (including HID) accounted for 44% (36% in the U.S.
and 8% in Europe) of the segment's total net sales in fiscal 1994. Magnetic
ballasts are used in standard fluorescent lighting fixtures in office,


1


commercial and residential applications, and in various types of specialty
lighting applications, including indoor and outdoor displays and signs. HID
ballasts are used in lighting fixtures in industrial and municipal applications,
such as street lighting, outside security and parking lot lighting, factory and
warehouse indoor illumination and sports lighting. Electronic solid state
fluorescent ballasts offer savings in the form of reduced energy consumption but
have a higher initial cost than that of a standard magnetic ballast. Sales of
electronic ballasts, primarily in the U.S., accounted for 24% of the segment's
total net sales in fiscal 1994.

In the U.S., approximately 65% of the Company's fluorescent and HID
ballasts are sold through MagneTek's direct sales force to OEMs with the balance
sold through independent manufacturers' representatives to more than 4,000
independent electrical distributors nationwide. In Europe, sales are made
through a combination of the Company's direct sales force and sales agents,
primarily to OEMs.

TRANSFORMER PRODUCTS. Sales of Transformer products accounted for
27% of the segment's net sales for fiscal 1994. Sales of Transformer products
in Europe, primarily electronic power supplies which are custom designed for
use in electronic business machines, computers and industrial equipment,
accounted for 18% of the segment's net sales in fiscal 1994. The Company also
manufactures dry type distribution transformers used primarily in building
applications as well as various component and specialty transformers. The
Company markets its various Transformer products through its direct sales force
and independent manufacturers' representatives directly to OEMs and (in the
U.S.) through independent electrical distributors.


BACKLOG. The Company's backlog in the Ballasts and Transformers
segment as of June 30, 1994, was $98.6 million compared to $240.8 million as of
the end of fiscal 1993. The decrease in the backlog has resulted from decreased
backlog for electronic ballasts. Backlog in electronic ballasts was $15.1
million as of June 30, 1994 compared to $134.2 million as of June 30, 1993.
Backlog represents purchase orders received by the Company which are subject to
cancellation. During fiscal 1994, the Company experienced significant
cancellations of orders for electronic ballasts due to excess inventories at
the Company's electrical distributor customers. These cancellations occurred
primarily during the first half of fiscal 1994. The Company has not experienced
significant order cancellations since that time.

COMPETITION. The principal competitors of the Company in Lighting
products in the U.S. are Advance Transformer Company (a division of North
American Phillips Corp.), Electronic Ballast Technology (an affiliate of North
American Phillips Corp.), Valmont Industries and Motorola, and in Europe,
Schwabe, Helvar and Zumtobel. Competitors in Transformer products are Advance
Transformer Company and Astec. Certain of the Company's competitors in the
Ballasts and Transformers segment have substantially greater resources than the
Company. The Company competes principally on the basis of customer service and
engineering capabilities, quality and price.

MOTORS AND CONTROLS SEGMENT

GENERAL. The Motors and Controls segment, which accounted for 42% of
net sales in fiscal 1994, manufactures equipment in two product groups: Motors
and Generators, including fractional and integral horsepower electric motors
and medium voltage generators, and Drives and Systems, including electronic
adjustable speed drives and drive systems. The Company's European operations
are not significant to the


2


segment, representing less than 2% of the segment's total net sales in fiscal
1994. One customer, Caterpillar, Inc., accounted for 12% of the segment's total
net sales in fiscal 1994.

MOTOR AND GENERATOR PRODUCTS. In fiscal 1994, Motor and Generator
products represented 84% of the segment's total net sales. The Company's
electric motors, most of which use AC power, range in size from 1/8 to 500
horsepower. Motors ranging in size from 1/8 to 5 horsepower (depending on frame
size) are designated fractional horsepower ("FHP") motors. FHP motors are used
both in residential applications, primarily in appliances such as room air
conditioners, dehumidifiers and ventilators, as well as pool and spa pumps, and
in commercial applications such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning
("HVAC"), food service and agribusiness. AC motors ranging in size from
1 to 500 horsepower, designated integral horsepower ("IHP") motors, are used
primarily in commercial HVAC, mining, petrochemical and commercial laundry
applications. The Company also manufactures DC motors, ranging in size
from 1/6 to 3 horsepower, used in variable speed applications such as
conveyors, material handling and packing equipment, exercise equipment and
machine tools. Approximately 70% of the Company's motors are sold to OEMs
primarily through the Company's direct sales force. The remaining motors are
marketed through a network of approximately 2,600 distributors, primarily for
replacement of worn motors.

Generators manufactured by the Company range in size from 50 kilowatt
("KW") to 2,250 KW. Over 90% of generator sales are to Caterpillar, Inc., which
manufactures and sells engine generator units for prime and standby power
applications.

DRIVES AND SYSTEMS PRODUCTS. Sales of Drives and Systems products
accounted for 16% of the segment's total net sales for fiscal 1994. The
Company's electronic adjustable speed drives and drive systems adjust and
control the speed and output of electric motors. They are used in
applications involving HVAC, paper converting, wire drawing, extrusion
elevators, machine tools and material handling equipment. Drives and drive
systems are sold primarily to OEMs and end users through a specialized
engineering oriented direct sales force as well as through electrical
distributors.

BACKLOG. The Company's backlog in the Motors and Controls segment as
of June 30, 1994 was $71.1 million compared to $69.9 million as of the end of
fiscal 1993. The increase is primarily in FHP motors offset by lower backlog in
IHP motors.

COMPETITION. The principal competitors of the Company in Motor and
Generator products are Emerson Electric Company, General Electric Company,
Franklin Electric Company, Baldor Electric Company, A.O. Smith and Onan. The
principal competitors in Drives and Systems are Reliance Electric Company,
Emerson Electric Company, Allen Bradley and Eaton Corporation. Some of these
competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company
competes principally on the basis of customer service and engineering
capabilities, quality and price.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The Company conducts most of its international activities through its
MagneTek Europe operations. European operations include ballast and power
supply production in Italy and Germany and motor manufacturing in the United
Kingdom. The Company's international sales, including export sales from
domestic operations, in fiscal 1994 accounted for 23% of the Company's total net
sales.

SUPPLIERS AND RAW MATERIALS

The Company manufactures many of the materials and components used in
its products, including ballast and motor laminations and capacitors. The
Company also draws its own magnet wire primarily for products in the Ballasts
and Transformers segment.

Virtually all materials and components purchased by the Company are
available from multiple suppliers. In fiscal 1994, approximately 56% of the
Company's total cost of sales was for the purchase of direct materials. Key
commodities used in production include steel, copper and aluminum, as well as
certain electronic components. The Company generally negotiates prices with
steel vendors on an annual basis. The Company purchases copper for the Ballasts
and Transformers segment primarily in rod form for drawing its own magnet wire
and for the Motors and Controls segment in the form of finished magnet wire.
The Company seeks to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in copper prices
through short-term hedging programs as well as through forward contract
arrangements with magnet wire suppliers. The Company purchases its aluminum
requirements based upon the spot prices at delivery.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development activities are conducted by the respective
operating divisions and are directed toward enhancement of existing products and
development of new products. Advanced technologies are being developed in four
main development centers and future development is sponsored by the Company
and conducted by leading Universities. The Company's recent product
development efforts have focused on the application of "state of the art"
technologies in the following areas: development of innovative integrated
electronic circuit architectures for lighting ballasts, power electronic based
designs and advanced microprocessor/DSP controls for adjustable speed drives and
fuel cell type inverters, superior design of energy efficient motors and cost-
effective power supplies. The Company has a number of design projects underway
relating to requirements for energy-efficient electrical products mandated by
legislation. New CAD/CAM/CAE tools were introduced to improve the designs and
reduce design time. The Company has also focused its research and development
activities on improvements in the manufacturing process through increased
factory automation and new improved computer systems. Through continued
integration of the Company's various operating units, the Company expects to
benefit from coordinated research and development efforts. Total research and
development expenditures were approximately $17.5 million, $17.4 million and
$13.8 million, respectively, for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years.

TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS

The Company holds numerous patents which, although of value, are not
considered by management to be essential to the Company's business. The Company
believes that it holds all the patent, trademark and other intellectual property
rights necessary to conduct its business.


4


EMPLOYEES

At the end of fiscal 1994, the Company had approximately 2,300
salaried employees and approximately 12,000 hourly employees, of whom
approximately 6,100 are covered by collective bargaining agreements with various
unions. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees are
favorable.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

GENERAL. The Company has from time to time discovered contamination
by hazardous substances at certain of its facilities. In response to such
discovery, the Company conducts remediation activities to bring the facility
into compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Except as described
below, the Company's remediation activities for fiscal 1994 did not entail
material expenditures, and its remediation activities for fiscal 1995 are not
expected to entail material expenditures. Future discoveries of contaminated
areas could entail material expenditures, depending upon the extent and nature
of the contamination.

UNIVERSAL MANUFACTURING (BRIDGEPORT). The Company's Universal
Manufacturing division has used certain hazardous materials, including PCBs, in
certain of its production processes. In particular, contaminated soil and
groundwater have been located at Universal Manufacturing's Bridgeport,
Connecticut facility. In connection with the February 1986 acquisition of
Universal Manufacturing, the Company and the seller, Farley Northwest
Industries, Inc. (the predecessor to Fruit of the Loom, Inc., hereinafter
collectively with such successor referred to as "FOL"), executed an
environmental agreement. Under this agreement, FOL agreed to perform certain
cleanup work at the Bridgeport facility and to indemnify and hold the Company
harmless for environmental claims attributable to FOL's or its predecessors'
activities at the Bridgeport facility. To date, FOL has undertaken
investigative actions and remedial work at Bridgeport as required by the
environmental agreement, and such remedial work is now substantially complete.

CENTURY ELECTRIC (MCMINNVILLE). Prior to its purchase by the Company
in 1986, Century Electric, Inc. ("Century Electric") acquired a business from
Gould Inc. ("Gould") in May 1983 which included a leasehold interest in a
fractional horsepower electric motor manufacturing facility located in
McMinnville, Tennessee. In connection with this acquisition, Gould agreed to
indemnify Century Electric from and against liabilities and expenses arising out
of the handling and cleanup of hazardous waste, including but not limited to
cleaning up any PCBs at the McMinnville facility (the "1983 indemnity").
Investigation revealed the presence of PCBs in portions of the soil and in the
groundwater underlying the facility and in certain offsite soil. Century
Electric has kept the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation,
Division of Superfund, apprised of test results from the investigation. The
McMinnville plant has been listed as a Tennessee Superfund Site, a report on
that site has been presented to the Tennessee legislature, and community
officials and plant employees have been notified of the presence of PCBs as
above described. In July 1993, Gould submitted to the State of Tennessee a
Feasibility Study recommending a cleanup of certain onsite soil with an
estimated cost of $4.7 million. This estimate does not include ancillary costs
of onsite cleanup, which are expected to be significant. Based upon currently
available information, the aggregate costs for cleanup of certain onsite soil,
including ancillary costs of onsite cleanup, are not expected to exceed
$15 million. Subsequent to June 30, 1994, Gould contracted for certain onsite
cleanup to be performed, at its own expense, during the period


5


from September 1994 through December 1994. The necessity for any potential
offsite cleanup has not been studied, and no estimate or range of any potential
offsite cleanup costs has been developed. The Company believes that the costs
for certain onsite cleanup, including ancillary costs of onsite cleanup, and the
costs for any potential offsite cleanup are covered by the 1983 indemnity. In
August 1994, Gould requested that the Company consider bearing an unspecified
portion of each of these costs, and the Company declined. While the Company
believes that Gould will continue to perform under its indemnity obligations,
Gould's failure to perform such obligations could have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

OFFSITE LOCATIONS. The Company has been identified by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state agencies as a
potentially responsible party for cleanup costs associated with alleged past
waste disposal practices at several offsite locations. Due, in part, to the
existence of indemnification from the former owners of certain acquired
businesses for cleanup costs at certain of these sites, and except as described
below, the Company's estimated share in liability (if any) at the offsite
facilities is not expected to be material. It is possible that the Company will
be named as a potentially responsible party in the future with respect to other
sites.

CROWN INDUSTRIES SITE (PIKE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA). In March 1992, the
Company was informed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources
("DER") that its Universal Manufacturing division is one of a number of
potentially responsible parties with respect to a planned environmental
investigation and cleanup at the Crown Industries site in Pike County,
Pennsylvania. The DER has provided a non-binding preliminary allocation of
liability in connection with the site that assigned the Company a 30 percent
share. The aggregate expense of cleaning up the site is not currently known,
but some preliminary indications suggest a range of $5 million to $15 million.
To date, the DER has sought reimbursement of approximately $500,000 in the
aggregate from the Company and the other potentially responsible parties. The
Company has concluded that at least 90 percent of any liability it may incur
relating to this site is covered by the indemnification provisions of its
environmental agreement with FOL, and FOL has acknowledged such indemnity and is
currently defending its own and the Company's interest in this site.

FOL's failure to perform its obligations with respect to the Crown
Industries site under the environmental agreement could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

The Company believes its facilities are in satisfactory condition and
are adequate for its present operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

PENSION MATTERS. Primarily in 1985, the Company entered into
agreements with Executive Life Insurance Company ("ELIC") under which ELIC
assumed accrued pension obligations under certain defined benefit retirement
plans (collectively, the "Plan") pursuant to an annuity purchase agreement. The
Plan paid approximately $25.3 million to ELIC under these agreements. In April
1991, the California Insurance Commissioner (the "Commissioner") was named
conservator of ELIC and the Los Angeles Superior Court issued orders providing
that ELIC would pay 70% of the monthly payments due to the Company's retirees
under the ELIC annuity contract.

Under the terms of a plan of rehabilitation, which includes an
enhancement agreement between the Commissioner and the National Organization of
Life and Health Guaranty Associations ("NOLHGA") to augment the benefits paid to
ELIC policyholders, individual annuitants with account values up to $100,000
will receive 100% of their benefits, resulting in the payment by the
rehabilitated ELIC and NOLHGA of substantially all of the required payments to
the Company's employees who are covered under the ELIC annuities. The
rehabilitation plan provides for reimbursement of shortfall payments the Company
had been providing from April 1991 to July 1992 and, accordingly, the Company
has reflected the anticipated reimbursement in other assets in its consolidated
financial statements.

Effective on July 22, 1992, the Company entered into agreements
settling all claims with respect to two complaints filed by the Department of
Labor and by a labor union against various defendants, including the Company.
The settlement agreements required the Company, among other things, to provide
back-up insurance coverage in the form of an annuity purchased from an approved
insurance company equal to 30% of the obligation to existing retirees. The
Company also agreed to purchase additional coverage


8


in the event payments from third parties to annuitants fall below 70% of the
required amount. If annuity benefits under the back-up annuity are not needed
to provide full benefit payments to covered annuitants, the proceeds will be
remitted to the Company on an annual basis. On July 31, 1992, the Company
purchased such an annuity from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for
approximately $9.8 million. Such annuity will only be used for retiree benefits
in the event the combined payments by the rehabilitated ELIC and NOLHGA fall
below 100% of the required benefits.

The Company does not expect that the above transactions will have a
material effect on the Company. However, should ELIC (or its successor) and/or
NOLHGA fail to make required annuity payments in the future, such transactions
could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

STOCKHOLDER LITIGATION. Four substantially identical actions were
filed in 1993 against the Company and certain of its directors and officers.
The four actions were subsequently consolidated in a single amended complaint.
The suit purports to be a class action on behalf of purchasers of the Company's
common stock from October 22, 1992 through August 6, 1993. The complaint
asserts claims under the federal securities laws, and alleges that the Company
artificially inflated the price of its common stock during the class period by
failing to disclose adverse developments in the Company's business. The
complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought.

In July 1994, counsel for the Company defendants and the plaintiffs
reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation. Final approval of
the settlement and dismissal of plaintiffs' claims is subject to a hearing
following notice to the class and an opportunity for class members to file any
objections to the settlement. The Consolidated Statement of Income for the year
ended June 30, 1994 reflects a pretax charge of $2.65 million representing
estimated costs to the Company including legal fees associated with the
settlement.

OTHER LITIGATION. The Company is a party to a number of product
liability lawsuits, many of which involve fires allegedly caused by defective
ballasts. All of these cases are being defended by the Company's insurers, and
management believes that its insurers will bear all legal costs and liability,
except for applicable deductibles, and that none of these proceedings
individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In addition, the Company is frequently named in asbestos-related
lawsuits which do not involve material amounts individually or in the aggregate.

The Company is one of numerous defendants in a suit filed in 1993 by
multiple plaintiffs claiming damages for personal injuries allegedly resulting
from exposure to emissions allegedly generated by the defendants' manufacturing
facilities in or near Brownsville, Texas. The plaintiffs have not specified the
damages sought nor the particular emissions they contend implicate the Company.
Discovery is ongoing and a trial has been set for May 1995, and the Company
intends to defend the litigation vigorously. The Company is not able to
estimate the potential exposure or range of exposure.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matters were submitted to the stockholders of the Company during
the quarter ended July 3, 1994.
