PART I
Item 1. Business.
General Information
Midwest Grain Products, Inc. (the Company) is a Kansas
corporation headquartered in Atchison, Kansas. It is the
successor to a business founded in 1941 by Cloud L. Cray, Sr.
The Company is a fully integrated producer of vital wheat
gluten, premium wheat starch, and alcohol products. These grain
products are processed at plants located in Atchison, Kansas, and
Pekin, Illinois. Wheat is purchased directly from local and
regional farms and grain elevators and milled into flour. The
flour is processed with water to extract vital wheat gluten which
is dried into a tan powder and sold in packaged or bulk form.
The resulting starch slurry is further processed to extract
premium wheat starch which is also dried into a powder and sold
in packaged or bulk form. The remaining slurry is mixed with
corn or milo and water and then cooked, fermented and distilled
into alcohol. The residue of the distilling operations is dried
and sold as a high protein additive for animal feed. Carbon
dioxide which is produced during the fermentation process is
trapped and sold. As a result of these processing operations,
the Company sells approximately 95% (by weight) of grain
processed.
To complement its integrated production facilities, the
Company also provides transportation services to its customers
through a fleet of truck-tractors, trailers and rail cars and
barge loading facilities on the Missouri and Illinois Rivers.
The table below shows the Company's sales from continuing
operations by product group for each of the five years ended June
30, 1994, as well as such sales as a percent of total sales. The
table does not reflect the sales of McCormick Distilling Company,
a business that was sold as of December 31, 1992.

third parties and do not reflect intra-company transactions.
The Company's $22.5 million increase in net sales for the
year ended June 30, 1994, resulted primarily from increased
demand for vital wheat gluten and increased production of all
three of the Company's principal products due to increased
capacities. The $2.7 million increase in pre-tax income from
continuing operations was due primarily to increased volumes and
demand for vital wheat gluten offset by reduced prices for food
grade industrial and fuel grade alcohol and increased grain
costs. For a more detailed discussion of the results of the
4
5
Company's operations for 1994 and the two prior years see "Item
7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
The bulk of the Company's sales are made under informal
arrangements direct to large institutional food and beverage
processors or distributors with respect to which the Company has
longstanding relationships. Under these arrangements products
are usually ordered, produced, sold and shipped within 30 days.
As a consequence, the Company's backlog of orders at any time is
usually less than ten percent of annual sales.
Generally, the Company's sales are not seasonal except for
minor variations affecting beverage alcohol and gluten sales.
Beverage alcohol sales tend to peak in the fall as distributors
order stocks for the holiday season, while gluten sales tend to
increase during the second half of the fiscal year as demand
increases for hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and similar bakery
products. Seasonal demand for the Company's fuel grade alcohol
may also be affected in the future by EPA regulations mandating
the use of ethanol in certain reformulated gasoline which is
expected to be strongest during October through March of each
year. See "Alcohol Products-Industrial and Fuel Grade Alcohol."
During fiscal 1994 the Company commenced the construction
of the largest expansion program in its history at its Pekin
plant. The new facilities are expected to be completed in the
second half of fiscal 1995, to be more efficient than the
existing plant and to double total alcohol production capacity;
increase by 40% total vital wheat gluten capacity; increase by
70% total premium wheat starch production capacity; more than
double total distillers' feeds production capacity; and provide
the Pekin plant with a new and more efficient steam and
electricity generating plant. The $62 million project is being
financed from operations, the proceeds of the sale of McCormick
and the proceeds of a $25 million, fifteen year 6.68% term loan.
The Company expects that it may take several years to develop
markets for all of the added capacity.
During fiscal 1994, the Company also completed the bulk of
the expansion of its flour mill in Atchison, the construction and
renovation of new and existing quality control laboratory at the
Pekin plant, and the installation of new wastewater treatment
equipment at the Atchison plant.
For further information, see the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of the Company's Financial Condition and Results of
Operations which appear at pages 18 through 36 of the Annual
Report.
Vital Wheat Gluten
Vital wheat gluten is a light tan powder which contains
approximately 75% to 80% protein. It is the only commercially
available high protein food additive which possesses vitality.
The vitality of the Company's vital wheat gluten results from its
elastic and cohesive characteristics when added to dough or
otherwise reconstituted with water.
Vital wheat gluten is added by bakeries and food processors
to baked goods such as wheat breads, and to pet foods, cereals,
processed meats, fish, and poultry to improve the nutritional
content, texture, strength, shape, and volume of the product.
The neutral flavor and color of wheat gluten also enhances, but
does not change, the flavor and color of food. It has been
increasingly used in breads and pet foods. The cohesiveness and
elasticity of the gluten enables the dough in wheat and other
high protein breads to rise and to support added ingredients such
as whole cracked grains, raisins and fibers. This allows the
baker to make an array of different breads by varying the gluten
content of the dough. Vital wheat gluten is also added to white
breads, and hot dog and hamburger buns to improve the hinge
strength and cohesiveness of the product.
The Company ships its vital wheat gluten throughout the
continental United States in bulk and in 50 to 100 pound bags.
Approximately 37% of fiscal 1994 gluten sales were made to a
distributor for the bakery industry, the Ben C. Williams Bakery
Services Company, which in turn distributes vital wheat gluten to
independent bakeries. The remainder is sold directly to major
food processors and bakeries such as Kellogg Co., Continental
Baking Company, Inc. and H. J. Heinz Co.

The vital wheat gluten market is occupied primarily by the
Company, two other domestic producers and a number of foreign
importers. Foreign importers provide significant competition
from time to time due to low U.S. tariffs and export incentives
provided by foreign countries to their wheat starch producers.
Based on industry data, the Company believes that in terms of
fiscal 1994 sales it is the largest producer of vital wheat
gluten in the United States.
Competition in the vital wheat gluten industry is based
primarily upon price, quality, and service. Historically, gluten
prices have been affected by grain prices, grain quality, excess
foreign capacity and by subsidies provided to certain European
exporters by their host governments.
The Company's vital wheat gluten processing operations are
believed to produce a quality of vital wheat gluten that is equal
to or better than that of any other wheat gluten on the market.
The Company's location in the center of the United States grain
belt, together with its production capacity, fleet of
transportation equipment and years of operating experience,
enable it to provide a consistently high level of cost effective
service to customers.
The Company's sales of vital wheat gluten increased by $16.8
million during fiscal 1994, due primarily to increased demand
during the second half of the year and increased production
capacity. The increased demand resulted partially from increased
market needs, principally in the baking industry where more
gluten was required to fortify flour due to the poor quality of
available wheat following the extremely wet weather in the spring
and summer of 1993. Due to increased competition from foreign
imports and reduced needs in the baking industry the demand for
the Company's vital wheat gluten began to return to more normal
levels during the end of fiscal 1994.
During the last half of fiscal 1992 the Company completed
capital improvements projects at the Atchison and Pekin
facilities which increased the productive capacity of the
Company's vital wheat gluten operations by 50% over 1991 levels
of production. In the last half of 1994 the Company commenced an
expansion of the vital wheat gluten production facilities at its
Pekin Plant. The expansion is expected to be completed during
the second half of fiscal 1995 and increase by 40% the Company's
total vital wheat gluten production capacity over that capacity
at June 30, 1994. The combination of these expansion programs
will more than double the capacity that existed at June 30, 1991.
Premium Wheat Starch
Wheat starch constitutes the carbohydrate-bearing portion of
wheat flour. The Company produces a pure white premium wheat
starch powder by extracting the starch from the starch slurry
substantially free of all impurities and fibers and then by
spray, flash or drum drying the starch. Premium wheat starch
differs from low grade or B wheat starches which are extracted
along with impurities and fibers and are used primarily as a
binding agent for industrial applications such as the manufacture
of charcoal briquettes. The Company does not produce low grade
or B starches since its integrated processing facilities are able
to process the remaining slurry after the extraction of premium
wheat starch into alcohol, animal feed and carbon dioxide.
Premium wheat starch differs from corn starch in its granular
structure, color, granular size and name identification.
An increasing portion of the Company's premium wheat starch
is also chemically altered during processing to produce certain
unique modified wheat starches designed for special applications.
The Company's premium wheat starches are used primarily as
an additive in a variety of food products to affect their
appearance, texture, tenderness, taste, palatability, cooking
temperature, stability, viscosity, binding and freeze-thaw
characteristics. For example, the Company's starches are used to
improve the taste and mouth feel of cream puffs, eclairs,
puddings, pie fillings, breadings and batters; to improve the
size, symmetry and taste of angel food cakes; to alter the
viscosity of soups, sauces and gravies; to improve the
freeze-thaw stability and shelf life of fruit pies and other
frozen foods; to improve moisture retention in microwavable
foods; and to add stability and to improve spreadability in
frostings, mixes, glazes and sugar coatings. The Company's
specialty starches are also sold for a number of industrial and
non-food uses, such as an ink bearing coating in carbonless
paper.
6
7
The Company's premium wheat starch is sold nationwide to
food processors, such as International Multi-Foods Corp.,
Pillsbury Company and Keebler Company, to distributors, and for
export to countries, such as Japan, Mexico and Malaysia which do
not have wheat-based economies.
The Company believes that it is the largest producer of
premium wheat starch in the United States. Although wheat starch
enjoys a relatively small portion of the total United States
starch market, the market is one which is continuing to grow.
Growth in the wheat starch market reflects a growing appreciation
for the unique characteristics of wheat starch which provide it
with a number of advantages over corn and other starches for
certain baking and other end uses. The Company has developed a
number of different modified wheat starches and continues to
explore the development of additional starch products with the
view to increasing sales of higher margin modified starches.
Premium wheat starch competes primarily with corn starch,
which dominates the United States market. Competition is based
upon price, name, color and differing granular and chemical
characteristics which affect the food product in which it is
used. Premium wheat starch prices usually enjoy a price premium
over corn starches and low grade wheat starches. Wheat starch
price fluctuations generally track the fluctuations in the corn
starch market, except in the case of modified wheat starches. The
wheat starch market also usually permits pricing consistent with
costs which affect the industry in general, including increased
grain costs. The Company's strategy is to market its premium
wheat starches in special market niches where the unique
characteristics of premium wheat starch or one of the Company's
modified wheat starches are better suited to a customers
requirements for a specific use.
Starch sales increased during fiscal 1994 by approximately
$2.7 million due primarily to higher volumes and increased sales
of modified wheat starches. The volume increases reflect added
starch production capacity installed in fiscal 1992 and 1993.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company commenced
the addition of starch production facilities at the Pekin plant
in order to satisfy customers' needs from two locations and to
capitalize on the expansion of the gluten and alcohol production
facilities at that location. The new starch facility is expected
to be operational in the second half of fiscal 1995 and is
planned to increase the Company's total June 30, 1994, starch
production capacity by 70%.
Alcohol Products
The Company's Atchison and Pekin plants process corn and
milo, mixed with the starch slurry from gluten and starch
processing operations, into beverage, industrial and fuel grade
alcohol, animal feed and carbon dioxide.
Beverage Alcohol
Beverage alcohol consists primarily of grain neutral
spirits. Grain neutral spirits is alcohol made from grain that
has been further refined to remove all impurities. Grain neutral
spirits is sold in bulk or processed into vodka and gin and sold
in bulk quantities at various proof concentrations to bottlers
and rectifiers, such as Heublein, Inc. and James B. Beam
Distilling Co., which further process the alcohol for sale to
consumers under numerous labels.
The Company believes that in terms of fiscal 1994 net sales,
it is one of the two largest bulk sellers of grain neutral
spirits, vodka and gin in the United States. The Company's
principal competitors in the beverage alcohol market are Grain
Processing Company of Muscatine, Iowa and Archer Daniels Midland
of Decatur, Illinois. Competition is based primarily upon price
and service, and in the case of gin, formulation. The Company
believes that the centralized location of its Illinois and Kansas
distilleries, the capacity of its dual production facilities and
the versatility and availability of its transportation fleet and
barge facilities combine to provide the Company with a customer
service advantage that is unique within the industry.

Beverage alcohol sales increased by approximately $2.4
million during fiscal 1994 due primarily to an increase in price.
Industrial and Fuel Grade Alcohol
Grain alcohol which is not sold as beverage alcohol is
marketed as food grade industrial alcohol or processed into fuel
grade alcohol ("Industrial Alcohol"). Fuel grade alcohol, which
is commonly referred to as "ethanol" is added to gasoline to
increase octane ratings and as an oxygenate to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions to satisfy EPA and Clean Air Act requirements.
Food grade industrial alcohol is sold as an ingredient in foods
(e.g., vinegar and food flavorings), personal care products
(e.g., hair sprays and deodorants), cleaning solutions, biocides,
insecticides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, and a variety of other
products. Although grain alcohol is chemically the same as
petroleum-based or synthetic alcohol, certain customers prefer a
natural grain-based alcohol. In addition, gasoline refiners and
marketers who blend grain alcohol with gasoline in qualifying
proportions are charged lower excise taxes on the blend compared
to unblended gasoline. This lower tax rate is not available for
synthetic alcohol. Food grade Industrial alcohol is sold in tank
truck or rail car quantities direct to a number of industrial
processors, such as Integrated Ingredients, a division of Burns
Philp Foods, Inc., 7-Up Company, and Lehn & Fink, a producer of
Lysol based household cleaners, from both the Atchison and Pekin
plants. The Company is a minor competitor in the total United
States market for food grade industrial and fuel grade alcohol.
The Fuel grade market is dominated by Archer Daniels Midland and
the food grade industrial market is dominated by petroleum-based
alcohol. Fuel alcohol prices traditionally follow the movement of
gasoline prices, and food grade industrial alcohol prices are
normally consistent with prices for synthetic industrial alcohol.
Effective September 1, 1994, the Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") adopted a final rule ("Rule") which generally
requires that reformulated gasoline ("RFG") mandated by the Clean
Air Act contain an amount of "renewable oxygenate" that, on
average, is equal to or greater than 15% of the required oxygen
content from December 1, 1994 through December 31, 1995, and 30%
for each calendar year thereafter. Under the RFG program, RFG is
required to be sold in nine of the smoggiest metropolitan areas
in the United States, which are San Diego, Los Angeles-Anaheim-
Riverside, Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Chicago-Gary, Milwaukee-
Racine, Philadelphia-Wilminton-Trenton, New York-Northern New
Jersey-Long Island, Greater Connecticut and Baltimore, as well as
in other metropolitan areas that elect to be covered by the
program. The regulation defines a renewable oxygenate as an
oxygenate that is derived from non-fossil fuel feedstocks such as
petroleum, coal or gas or an ether that is derived from non
fossil fuel feedstocks. Although the definition of renewable
oxygenate covers a variety of renewable biomass and waste product
sources the EPA release ("Release") announcing the Rule indicates
that Ethanol and ethyl tertiary butyl ether ("ETBE") are expected
to be the primary renewable oxygenates with ethanol being the
dominant oxygenate during the winter months in the initial years
since it is the "only renewable oxygenate currently produced in
large quantities." According to the Release, ethanol's
volatility is expected to make it difficult for refiners to
satisfy the RFG requirements in the summer months (May 1 through
September 15) with a blend of gas and pure ethanol. Hence, the
Release indicates that the use of ethanol in the RFG program is
expected to be concentrated during the winter months, except to
the extent that ETBE is used as the renewable oxygenate. ETBE is
an ether derived from ethanol and isobutylene that has a lower
volatility than pure ethanol that is expected to enable its use
during the summer months to satisfy the renewable oxygenate
requirement.
On July 13, 1994, two groups representing the petroleum
industry filed suit against the EPA seeking to have the Rule set
aside on the grounds that the EPA lacked the legal authority
necessary to issue the Rule. On September 13, 1994, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an
order staying implementation of the Rule in order to permit the
parties and other interested parties time to brief and orally
argue the issues raised in the suit. Although the Court set an
expedited schedule that requires that final briefs be submitted
by January 12, 1995, it is uncertain as to when or if the stay
will be lifted.
If the Rule is ultimately implemented, a matter which is
presently uncertain due to the pending litigation, the Company
expects that the effect of the regulation will be to increase the
demand for the Company's fuel grade
8
9
alcohol. However, the Company's total ethanol production is
expected to be a relatively small part of a very competitive
ethanol market.
During fiscal 1994 sales of food grade industrial and fuel
grade alcohol remained relatively constant with the same results
for fiscal 1993 in spite of significantly increased volumes due
primarily to reduced gasoline prices.
Alcohol By-Products
The bulk of fiscal 1994 sales of alcohol by-products consist
of distillers feeds. Distillers feeds are the residue of corn,
milo and wheat from alcohol processing operations. The residue
is dried and sold primarily to processors of animal feeds as a
high protein additive. The Company competes with a number of
producers of animal food additives in the sale of distillers
feeds and mill feeds.
The balance of alcohol by-products consists primarily of
carbon dioxide. During the production of alcohol, the Company
traps carbon dioxide gas that is emitted in the fermentation
process. The gas is purchased and liquified on site by two
principal customers, one at the Atchison Plant and one at the
Pekin Plant, who own and operate the carbon dioxide processing
and storage equipment under long term contracts with the Company.
The liquified gas is resold by these processors to a variety of
industrial customers and producers of carbonated beverages.
Alcohol Products Capital Improvements
During the last half of fiscal 1993 the Company commenced
the construction of an expansion of its alcohol production
facilities at its Pekin plant. The expansion, which is planned
for completion in the second half of fiscal 1995, is expected to
double the Company's entire alcohol production capacity and more
than double the Company's capacity to produce distillers feeds as
such capacities existed at June 30, 1994.
On December 31, 1992, the Company sold the operations of
McCormick Distilling Company for an after-tax gain of
approximately $1.0 million. McCormick was primarily engaged in
the business of bottling alcohol beverages at a plant in Weston,
Missouri. The business was sold to increase the Company's
concentration on the marketing of alcohol in bulk and to generate
cash for the expansion of the Pekin Plant.
Flour and Other Mill Products
At the Atchison plant, the Company owns and operates a flour
mill which was purchased from Pillsbury in 1986. All of the
mill's output of flour is used internally for the production of
vital wheat gluten and premium wheat starch. In 1993 the Company
completed the first of a two-phase expansion of the flour milling
facilities. The second phase of the expansion is expected to be
substantially complete during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
The entire project is expected to increase the mill's total
production by approximately 80%. All of the additional output of
the mill is expected to be used internally to satisfy existing
requirements for the production of gluten and starch and the
additional requirements of the gluten and starch facilities that
are being added to the Pekin plant.
In addition to flour, the wheat milling process also
generates mill feeds or midds and a small quantity of wheat germ.
Midds are sold to processors of animal feeds as a feed additive.
Wheat germ is sold primarily for use in vitamin E production.
Sales of flour and other mill products declined since 1990
due to the increased usage of the flour mill's output for the
production of other grain products.

Transportation
To provide its customers with timely delivery and service,
the Company maintains its own fleet of 32 tank and van trailers
and 12 truck-tractors. The Company leases 126 rail cars which
may be dispatched on short notice. Shipment by barge is also
offered to customers through barge loading facilities on the
Missouri and Illinois Rivers. The barge facility on the Illinois
River is adjacent to the Pekin plant and owned by the Company.
The facility on the Missouri River, which is not company-owned,
is approximately one mile from the Atchison plant. Quick
response enables customers to reduce inventory costs and still
satisfy unanticipated production requirements and is an important
marketing tool for the Company. The Company also has a contract
for backhauls under certificate No. NC 148479.
Income from trucking operations is included in Other
Operating Income shown in the Statements of Income. See in
particular Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Annual Report.
Raw Materials
The Company's principal raw material is grain, consisting of
wheat which is processed into all of the Company's products and
corn and milo which are processed into alcohol, animal feed and
carbon dioxide. Grain is purchased directly from surrounding
farms, primarily at harvest time, and throughout the year from
grain elevators. Historically, the cost of grain is subject to
substantial fluctuations depending upon a number of factors which
affect commodity prices in general, including crop conditions,
weather, government programs, and purchases by foreign
governments. Although significant variations in grain prices may
temporarily affect positively or negatively the results of the
Company's operations, the Company has usually, but not always,
been able to compensate for such variations through adjustments
in prices charged for the Company's grain products.
Historically the Company has not engaged in the purchase of
commodity futures to hedge economic risks associated with
fluctuating grain and grain products prices. However, due to the
significantly increased volumes of grain and grain products that
are expected as a result of the expansion of the Company's
production facilities, the Company expects to make limited
investments in commodity futures, including wheat, corn and
gasoline futures.
Energy
Because energy comprises a major cost of operations, the
Company seeks to assure the availability of fuels for the Pekin
and Atchison plants at competitive prices.
At present a substantial portion of the natural gas demand
for the Atchison plant is transported by a wholly-owned
subsidiary which owns a gas pipeline. The subsidiary procures the
gas in the open market from various suppliers and from gas
reservoirs in an adjoining county. The Atchison boilers may also
be oil fired.
In the past, the Company's Pekin plant generated the bulk of
its energy needs from coal and gas fired boilers. However, due to
the expansion of the Pekin plant, the Company has entered into a
