PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GenCorp Inc. (hereinafter the "Company" or "GenCorp") was incorporated in
Ohio in 1915 as The General Tire & Rubber Company. The Company's operations are
grouped into three business segments: Aerojet-General Corporation ("Aerojet"),
GenCorp Automotive and GenCorp Polymer Products. The segments are engaged in
such diverse businesses as propulsion, defense electronics, ordnance, molded
reinforced plastics, extruded and molded rubber products, vinyl-coated fabrics,
plastic films, decorative wallcoverings, tennis balls and racquetballs and
styrene and butadiene based specialty latices. The Company currently employs
approximately 13,300 persons. (Financial information relating to the Company's
business segments appears on pages 26 through 28 of this report.)
The Company and its business segments conduct research to develop new
products and improve existing products and processes. The Company has a modern,
well-equipped Research Center that carries out research in plastics, rubbers,
organic coatings, adhesives, polymer processing and engineering analysis for new
and improved products. Aerojet maintains additional research and development
facilities in the various fields in which it competes. GenCorp Automotive and
GenCorp Polymer Products each operate product and process development centers
and GenCorp Polymer Products also maintains an innovative design and styling
center. (Information relating to research and development expenses is set forth
in Note C on page 17 of this report.)
The Company licenses technology and owns patents, which expire at various
times, relating to many of its products. The loss or expiration of any one or
more of them would not materially affect the business of the Company or any of
its segments. The important trademarks of the Company are registered in its
major marketing areas.
Although GenCorp's business is not seasonal in the traditional sense,
Aerojet's revenues and earnings have tended to concentrate to some degree in the
fourth quarter of each year reflecting delivery schedules associated with that
segment's mix of contracts, while GenCorp Automotive's revenues and earnings
have tended to concentrate to some degree in the second and fourth quarters of
the Company's fiscal year, generally as a consequence of fluctuations in the
automotive industry's build schedules and in response to customers' preparation
for annual model changes.
Compliance with laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials
into the environment or the protection of the environment continues to affect
many of the Company's operating facilities. A discussion of capital and
noncapital environmental expenditures incurred in 1993 and forecasted for 1994
and 1995 for environmental compliance is included under the heading
Environmental Matters on pages 10 and 11 of this report. Environmental matters
discussed on pages 10 and 11 and in Note N beginning on page 24 of this report
are incorporated herein by reference.
AEROJET
Aerojet develops, manufactures and markets solid and liquid rocket
propulsion systems, ordnance systems and ammunition, sensor surveillance systems
and related defense products and services.
Aerojet has concentrated for the past several years on obtaining contracts
that provide a balance between technology development and long-term production
potential, as well as between defense and space programs. More recently, efforts
have been expanded to include the pursuit of other domestic and international
market opportunities that take advantage of the segment's technologies,
engineering and manufacturing expertise and capabilities. In this regard,
Aerojet is involved in a series of joint defense-conversion technology
initiatives including efforts with Pacific Gas and Electric to apply composite
materials technology to liquid natural gas storage applications and a pilot
project funded under the Clinton administration's Technology Reinvestment
Project program to assess and prototype ultra light insulating material
technologies.
The segment's largest programs have included the Titan, Peacekeeper,
Minuteman, Small ICBM, Advanced Solid Rocket Motor ("ASRM") and Delta propulsion
programs; satellite surveillance sensor
4
systems; TOW 2B armaments; Combined Effects Munition systems; and medium caliber
ammunition programs. Aerojet is also active in a variety of new development and
advanced programs related to defense and space applications including satellite,
launch, and armament systems. Aerojet believes that its experience in these
areas will enable it to continue to participate in the future funding of such
programs. Most of the sales of this segment are made directly or indirectly to
agencies of the United States government pursuant to contracts or subcontracts
which are subject to termination for convenience (with compensation) by the
government in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
The Small ICBM program was terminated and new production under the
Peacekeeper program was canceled during 1992. These two programs accounted for
sales of approximately $49 million in 1993. Close-out sales activity in 1994 is
anticipated at approximately $20 million.
Aerojet is a major subcontractor to Lockheed for the ASRM program. The
program was officially terminated by NASA on October 27, 1993. NASA is currently
reprogramming to a funding level of $180 million to complete all
contractor/subcontractor planned termination activities. Aerojet is now focusing
activity on the timely close-out of its subcontract which is expected to be
completed by the end of 1995. The ASRM program accounted for Aerojet sales of
approximately $118 million in 1993. Aerojet expects approximately $25 million of
sales in 1994 related to its termination activity.
Aerojet entered into negotiations with Olin Corporation with respect to the
sale of substantially all of its medium caliber ammunition and Combined Effects
Munition systems business in the fourth quarter of 1993. Negotiations are still
in progress as of the date of this report. These ordnance products accounted for
sales of approximately $200 million in 1993.
Aerojet's direct and indirect sales to the United States Government and its
agencies (principally the Department of Defense) were approximately $846 million
in 1993, $982 million in 1992 and $1,106 million in 1991. Competition based upon
price, technology, quality and service is intense for all products and services
in this business segment and has increased with the decline in the national
defense budget. There are several other major companies with the technology and
capacity to produce most of the products manufactured and sold by Aerojet, and
in some areas, the government has its own manufacturing capabilities. With the
termination of the ASRM program and the possible sale of a substantial portion
of the Ordnance business, Aerojet announced a major streamlining and
restructuring effort in the fourth quarter of 1993 that is expected to be
completed by mid 1994. Aerojet believes it remains competitive in its markets.
Backlog orders in the aerospace and defense businesses are commonplace and
significant. Aerojet's contract backlog was approximately $1.4 billion at
November 30, 1993, compared to $1.3 billion at November 30, 1992. Funded
backlog, which includes only the amount of those contracts for which money has
been authorized by Congress, totaled approximately $0.7 billion at November 30,
1993, compared with approximately $0.9 billion at November 30, 1992. Raw
materials required by this segment are generally in adequate supply.
GENCORP AUTOMOTIVE
Revenues of the GenCorp Automotive segment are principally derived from the
development, manufacture and sale of highly engineered polymer products
developed for the original equipment automotive market. Applications include
extruded and molded rubber products for vehicle body and window sealing, molded
reinforced plastic panels for automobile and light and heavy truck bodies and
molded rubber products for vibration control.
The Vehicle Sealing business unit is a leading producer and supplier of
extruded and molded rubber products engineered to prevent air and moisture from
penetrating windows, doors and other openings. This unit supplies products to
all of the major domestic automotive companies for use in a wide variety of
vehicles including the General Motors GMT-400 full-size pickup truck, the
Suburban GMT 325/330, the Ford Ranger small pickup, the Ford Explorer and the
General Motors Achieva, GrandAm and Skylark.

The Reinforced Plastics business unit is one of the world's largest custom
molders of reinforced plastic components for automobile and light and heavy
truck bodies. Its state-of-the-art molding facility in Shelbyville, Indiana
incorporates innovations in automated manufacturing and is designed for
continuous flow manufacturing for the production of reinforced plastic body
panels. The plant manufactures body panels for the General Motors
Camaro/Firebird and Corvette and for the Chevrolet Lumina, Pontiac TransSport
and Oldsmobile Silhouette front wheel drive all-purpose vehicles. General Motors
has announced that production of the front wheel drive all-purpose vehicles at
its Tarrytown plant will cease in 1996. The Shelbyville facility began producing
body panels for the redesigned 1993 model General Motors Camaro/Firebird in the
fall of 1992. Additional products manufactured by the Reinforced Plastics unit
include roofs for the Chrysler Wrangler Jeep, hoods for the Lincoln Mark VIII,
flareside fenders for the Ford F-series and Ranger pickup trucks and hoods for
Volvo heavy trucks.
In 1993, GenCorp Automotive's Reinforced Plastics unit restructured its
manufacturing operations, including the transfer of production lines from the
Marion, Indiana facility to the Shelbyville facility. The production facilities
at the business unit's Ionia, Michigan facility were also reorganized to focus
on heavy truck and other automotive applications. A $21.7 million pre-tax
reserve was taken in the fourth quarter of 1992 to cover the anticipated costs
of the restructuring.
The Vibration Control business unit produces and supplies molded rubber
products which counteract the impact and disturbance of vibrations emanating
from the power train and from road conditions. These products include bushings,
engine mounts and suspension assemblies. This unit supplies products to all of
the major domestic automotive companies as well as several foreign vehicle
manufacturers. GenCorp Automotive is the sole supplier of many products,
including certain vibration control components for the General Motors Lumina,
Grand Prix, Regal and Cutlass Supreme, the Chrysler Concord, Dodge Intrepid and
Eagle Vision, the Toyota Camry, the Mazda MX6 and 626 and the Ford Probe.
During the third quarter of 1993 GenCorp Automotive announced the formation
of a strategic alliance which provided GenCorp with a 24.5% equity interest in
German automotive supplier HENNIGES Elastomer-und Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co.
KG, and its related companies. The alliance established a European automotive
presence for the company.
GenCorp Automotive products are sold directly to original equipment
manufacturers or their fabricators. GenCorp Automotive customers include the
major domestic automobile manufacturers, the loss of one or more of which would
have a material adverse effect on this segment. Sales to General Motors in 1993
were at least ten percent of the Company's net sales.
The emergence of foreign vehicle manufacturing facilities in North America
has significantly changed the original equipment market in recent years. While
competition based upon price, quality, service, technology and reputation is
increasingly intense with respect to all products marketed by this segment, a
strengthening of the automotive market, the successful launch of new product
programs and continued improvement in operating efficiencies contributed to
improvements in sales and earnings in 1993. Raw materials required by this
segment are generally in good supply.
GENCORP POLYMER PRODUCTS
Revenues of the GenCorp Polymer Products segment are generated through the
manufacture and sale of specialty polymers and engineered plastics and
elastomers for a variety of industrial, commercial and consumer markets. GenCorp
Polymer Products has a broad base of commercial and industrial customers, the
loss of any one of which would not have a material adverse effect on the
segment's business.
The Designed Plastics business unit manufactures and sells decorative and
engineered thermoplastic products through three divisions. The Coated Fabrics
division is a major supplier of vinyl coated fabrics to the home furnishings and
marine industries and to a variety of other industrial and commercial
industries. The Plastic Extrusions division produces gaskets, seals, trim and
magnetic rolls for the appliance, automotive and office equipment industries.
The Building Systems division purchases a full line of elastomer-based
single-ply roofing systems for resale to the building products industry for
commercial and industrial structures.
3

GenCorp Polymer Products formed a new unit, Plastic Films, with the
acquisition of Reneer Films Corporation in 1993. The Plastic Films unit is
comprised of Reneer Films, the Flexible Film division, and the Rigid Plastics
division. Reneer Films produces vinyl woodgrain laminates for furniture and
consumer electronics and double-polished clear vinyl films for the office
products and stationary markets. The Flexible Film division and the Rigid
Plastics division produce decorative and engineered thermoplastic films for
manufacturers of furniture, ceiling tiles, credit cards, aircraft interiors, and
industrial equipment.
The Latex business unit produces and markets a comprehensive line of
specialty latices used as coatings for paper, binding agents for carpets and
nonwoven fabrics and for tire cord adhesives. It also produces in-mold coatings
for automotive reinforced plastic applications. GenCorp Polymer Products has
completed construction of a new latex manufacturing facility which adds
approximately 80 million dry pounds of annual capacity and enhances
manufacturing capabilities. The plant went into operation early in 1993. The new
facility augments the segment's business commitment to the coated paper and
paper board industry.
The Wallcovering business unit designs, manufactures and markets a full
line of decorative products for commercial and residential wallcovering
applications.
The Penn Racquet Sports business unit is one of the world's largest
manufacturers of tennis balls and racquetballs. Tennis and racquetball
accessories are purchased for resale under the "Penn" name. Previously announced
plans to reopen a second tennis ball manufacturing facility in the U.S. have
been delayed due to soft demand for tennis products.
Methods of distribution utilized by GenCorp Polymer Products vary widely
depending on the nature of the products and the industry or market served, with
products being sold either directly or through distributors. Penn products are
marketed worldwide. The Company has an agreement with Head Racquet Sports to
distribute Penn tennis balls in France, Italy and Germany.
Competition based upon price, quality, service, technology and reputation
is intense with respect to virtually all products marketed by this business
segment and, to a substantial degree, upon design and style in the wallcovering
and most other coated fabrics and plastic film products. The Company believes
that it continues to be a major competitor in the markets served by this
segment, and that the raw materials required are generally available.

In addition, the Company and its segments own and lease properties
(primarily machinery, warehouse and office facilities) in various sections of
the country for use in the ordinary course of its business. Data appearing in
Note M on page 23 of this report with respect to leased properties is
incorporated herein by reference.
During 1993, the Company generally made effective use of its productive
capacity. As discussed under the heading GenCorp Polymer Products in this
report, construction of a new latex manufacturing facility was completed while
plans to reopen a second U.S. tennis ball manufacturing facility were delayed.
The Company believes that the quality and productive capacity of its properties
are sufficient to maintain the Company's competitive position.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Effective January 1, 1991, the Company modified its medical benefit plan
for salaried employees who had retired. The modifications included increases to
retiree-paid deductibles and co-payments, a Medicare "carve-out" provision and
an increase in the maximum lifetime benefit. In January 1992, a group of
salaried retirees filed a class action challenging the Company's right to
implement the benefit plan changes, Dague, et al. v. GenCorp Inc., No. 5:91 CV
2617 (U.S.D.C., N.D. Ohio). On August 27, 1993, the District Court granted
summary judgment for GenCorp, holding that the Company had consistently reserved
its right within relevant plan documents to modify retiree medical benefits. The
ruling rendered moot the retirees' motion for class certification. On August 24,
1993, the retirees appealed the District Court's decision to the U.S. Court of
Appeals, where the matter is currently pending, (No. 93-4070, U.S.C.A., 6th
Cir.).
The Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November
30, 1992 discussed the status of the Company's claims against Shearson Lehman
Brothers, Inc. ("Shearson") arising out of Shearson's participation in a 1987
hostile tender offer for the Company. On October 2, 1992, the United States
District Court in Columbus, Ohio ("Court") granted Shearson's renewed motion for
summary judgment on GenCorp's claim for compensatory damages, but granted the
Company's renewed motion for clarification of the Court's opinion and order
dated April 8, 1992 making it clear that GenCorp's claim for disgorgement of the
fees that Shearson received as a result of the takeover attempt was not
dismissed and remained in the case. The Court also denied Shearson's renewed
motion for summary judgment on GenCorp's claim that Shearson violated a
fiduciary duty to GenCorp. Accordingly, judgment was entered in favor of
Shearson with respect to GenCorp's claim for compensatory damages, and GenCorp's
remaining claim seeking disgorgement to GenCorp of Shearson's fees was stayed
pending resolution of an appeal of the judgment on GenCorp's compensatory
damages claim to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The
parties have submitted briefs to the Court, presented oral arguments to the
Court and are awaiting decision by the Court.

Information concerning legal proceedings relating to environmental matters
at Aerojet's Sacramento, California facility and at other environmental sites
which appears in Note N beginning on page 24 of this report is incorporated
herein by reference.
The U.S. Government frequently conducts investigations into allegedly
illegal or unethical activity in the performance of defense contracts.
Investigations of this nature are common to the aerospace and defense industries
in which Aerojet participates; possible consequences may include civil and
criminal fines and penalties, in some cases, double or treble damages, and
suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Aerojet currently is
subject to several U.S. Government investigations regarding business practices
and cost classification from which legal or administrative proceedings could
result. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of any
such investigation, the Company does not believe, based upon the information
available at this time, that final resolution of any such matter will have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or result in its
suspension or termination as a government contractor.
The Company and its subsidiaries are presently engaged in other litigation,
and additional litigation has been threatened. However, based upon information
presently available, none of such other litigation is believed to constitute a
"material pending legal proceeding" within the meaning of Item 103 of Regulation
S-K (17 CFR Reg. 229.103) and the Instructions thereto.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
CAPITAL STOCK
The common stock is listed on the New York and Chicago Stock Exchanges. At
December 31, 1993, there were approximately 15,600 holders of record of the
Company's common stock. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company paid quarterly
cash dividends on common stock of $.15 per share. Information regarding the high
and low quarterly sales prices of common stock for the past two years is
contained in the Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited) which appears on page 29
of this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Information concerning long-term debt, including restrictions and
provisions relating to distributions and cash dividends on the Company's Common
Stock, appears in Note I on page 22 of this report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Financial data required under this section appears on page 30 of this
report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Sales for GenCorp in 1993 were $1.9 billion, 2 percent below the 1992 level
while operating profit increased 17 percent to $121 million. Net income of $43
million and primary earnings per share of $1.35 were above 1992 levels of $22
million and $.70, respectively, due to lower interest and corporate expenses and
the absence of the 1992 Automotive restructuring charge.
Interest expense in 1993 was $36 million compared to $46 million in 1992
and $52 million in 1991. The continued decline in interest expense resulted from
lower interest rates and savings from the refinancing activities in 1992.
7
10
Other income and expense increased $9 million to an income of $5 million in
1993 from an expense of $4 million in 1992. The increase was due to the absence
of costs associated with the 1992 refinancing effort, adjustments to
non-operating reserves and other miscellaneous matters.
During 1993, GenCorp acquired Reneer Films which strengthened the Company's
position in the plastic film business. The Company also formed a strategic
alliance which provides GenCorp with a 24.5 percent equity interest in German
automotive supplier, HENNIGES Elastomer- und Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG.
The alliance established a European automotive presence for the Company and
offers the potential for future business.
Cash flow provided from operating activities for fiscal 1993 was $26
million as compared to $128 million for 1992. Working capital changes included a
$63 million payment of tax liabilities related to prior years. The accruals for
prior years' taxes provided by the Company were sufficient to cover the full
impact of the payment.
At November 30, 1993, GenCorp's total debt was $439 million, compared to
$345 million for 1992. Debt increased $94 million during 1993 due to the Reneer
acquisition, the investment in the HENNIGES strategic alliance and the payment
of tax liabilities related to prior years.
Capital expenditures were made principally for capacity expansion and asset
replacement, cost reduction, safety and productivity improvements and
environmental protection. Capital expenditure outlays in 1993 totaled $67
million compared to $96 million in 1992 and $93 million in 1991.
Management believes that funds generated from operations and existing
borrowing capacity are adequate to finance planned capital expenditures,
Company-sponsored research and development programs and dividend payments to
shareholders.
GENCORP AUTOMOTIVE
Sales for GenCorp Automotive during fiscal 1993 were $514 million, an
increase of more than 18 percent over 1992 sales of $436 million. The continuing
recovery in domestic vehicle production and recent program launches, including
the Ford Ranger, Lincoln Mark VIII, Chrysler LH, Camaro and Firebird, were the
major contributors to the improvement in sales revenue for each of GenCorp
Automotive's business units.
Increased sales during 1993 resulted in segment operating profit of $21
million, an increase of $12 million over 1992 excluding a $22 million one-time
restructuring charge for Reinforced Plastics in 1992. The Vibration Control and
Reinforced Plastics divisions both showed significant earnings improvement. The
Vehicle Sealing division offset significant sales price reductions with cost
reductions and volume increases to maintain earnings comparable to 1992.
Emphasis was placed on increased sales, cost reductions and improved
productivity throughout the segment.
OUTLOOK
Earnings are expected to further improve in 1994, particularly in the
Reinforced Plastics division as the division continues to benefit from
restructuring efforts and improved operating efficiencies following the F-Car
launch in 1993. Sales growth in 1994 will be dependent on the strength of the
automotive market and production of key vehicle programs.
1992 RESULTS
Sales in 1992 increased 18 percent to $436 million from $368 million in
1991. Excluding a restructuring charge of $22 million for the Reinforced
Plastics division, 1992 segment operating profit was $9 million compared to a
loss of $5 million in 1991. Including the restructuring charge, the segment
incurred an operating loss of $13 million.
The significant increase in sales for 1992 was due to increased penetration
of key vehicle platforms by GenCorp Automotive and an overall 9 percent growth
in the automotive market. The improvement in
8
11
operating profit excluding the restructuring charge was a result of increased
sales and continued productivity improvement.
AEROJET
1993 sales for Aerojet were $872 million, down 14 percent from 1992 sales
of $1,019 million. Sales declines at Aerojet's propulsion and defense
electronics businesses accounted for the overall decrease. Sales were affected
by the cancellation of the Peacekeeper program, the slowdown in the Titan
delivery schedule, lower Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and Advanced Solid
Rocket Motor (ASRM) funding levels and lower activity in the U.S. Air Force
Defense Support Program (DSP) and the U.S. Army Sense and Destroy Armor (SADARM)
program.
Aerojet segment operating profit was $53 million in 1993, a decrease of 25
percent from $71 million in 1992. The decline in operating profit was due to the
decline in sales and contract mix issues.
Contract backlog for Aerojet was $1.4 billion at the end of 1993, compared
to $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion in 1992 and 1991, respectively. Funded backlog,
which includes only the amount of those contracts for which money has been
directly authorized by Congress, totaled $0.7 billion at the end of 1993, down
from $0.9 billion in 1992 and $1.2 billion in 1991.
OUTLOOK
1994 will prove to be another challenging year for Aerojet primarily due to
the termination of the ASRM program and the possible sale of the ordnance
business. Lower sales and income levels are expected as the continuing reduction
of defense budgets affects programs such as Minuteman, SDI and SADARM. Aerojet
will continue to face the challenge of maintaining its positions in its core
programs within a declining marketplace. To help meet this challenge, compete
more effectively and maintain performance expectations on existing programs,
Aerojet has initiated a major streamlining and restructuring effort that is
expected to be completed by mid-1994. The restructuring should result in
substantial reductions in administrative and overhead expenses.
1992 RESULTS
Sales in 1992 were $1,019 million, down 11 percent from 1991 sales of
$1,142 million. A decline in sales at Aerojet's ordnance business accounted for
the overall decrease, primarily due to fewer CEM program deliveries, while the
propulsion and defense electronics businesses generated slight increases.
Segment operating profit was $71 million in 1992 compared to $75 million in
1991, a decrease of 5 percent.
GENCORP POLYMER PRODUCTS
GenCorp Polymer Products achieved record sales and segment income levels in
1993. Sales for 1993 were $519 million, an increase of 8 percent over 1992 sales
of $482 million. The sales increase was primarily due to market penetration
gains in Latex, growth in Wallcovering, strong sales improvements in the
Designed Plastics Unit and a significant sales increase in Plastic Films as a
result of the acquisition of Reneer Films. These sales gains more than offset
the decline in sales for Penn Racquet Sports which was attributable to the weak
U.S. tennis market and, to a lesser extent, the recession in Europe. Due to the
current softness in the domestic tennis ball market, the previously announced
reopening of the tennis ball manufacturing facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas has
been delayed.
Segment operating profit was $47 million, a 4 percent increase over $45
million in 1992. The earnings improvement was achieved by gains in Designed
Plastics, Plastic Films and Wallcovering. However, both Penn Racquet Sports and
Latex experienced lower earnings, due to the sales volume decline at Penn and
lower profit margins experienced in the paper coatings market for Latex.
9
12
OUTLOOK
Steady, reliable growth should continue for GenCorp Polymer Products into
1994. The business will realize the full-year benefits of the Reneer acquisition
and a full year of operation at the new latex facility located in Green Bay,
Wisconsin. GenCorp Polymer Products maintains strong market positions in each of
its businesses and would benefit from improved economic conditions in the United
States, especially in the commercial construction and housing sectors.
1992 RESULTS
Sales in 1992 of $482 million were essentially equal to 1991's sales of
$483 million. Sales improvements in the Wallcovering and Fabricated Plastics
divisions were offset by lower sales at Penn Racquet Sports and Latex. Despite
the soft economic conditions in the U.S. that adversely affected sales volume,
segment operating profit in 1992 reached a record of $45 million or 10 percent
higher than the 1991 segment operating profit of $41 million. The improved
performance reflected strong market share gains in certain product lines,
successful new product introductions and productivity gains throughout the
segment.
HEALTH CARE COSTS
The Company currently provides certain health care and life insurance
benefits to most retired employees with varied coverage by employee group. The
cost of retiree health care and life insurance benefits is currently recognized
as an expense as benefits are paid.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106 "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106) requires
the Company to account for these costs under the accrual method of accounting
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.
The Company will take a one-time charge against earnings on December 1,
1993 when it implements SFAS 106 (see Note G -- Employee Benefit Plans beginning
on page 19 of this report). The SFAS 106 charge reflects the implementation of a
new cost-sharing program for retiree medical benefits for former hourly and
salaried employees and their spouses. The program establishes limits on the
average amount the Company pays annually to provide future retiree medical
coverage. The Company believes that it has the legal right to implement this new
cost-sharing program and has recently prevailed in a lawsuit before the U. S.
District Court challenging the Company's right to modify salaried retiree
medical benefits as changed in 1991. This ruling is under appeal to the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. While the Company expects to prevail on
appeal, an adverse ruling could affect the future cost of providing retiree
health benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
GenCorp's policy is to conduct its businesses with due regard for the
preservation and protection of the environment. The Company devotes a
significant amount of resources and management attention to environmental
matters and actively manages its ongoing processes to comply with extensive
environmental laws and regulations. The Company is involved in the remediation
of environmental conditions which resulted from previously accepted
manufacturing and disposal practices that date back to the 1950s and 1960s at
certain of its own plants. In addition, the Company has been designated a
potentially responsible party, with other companies, at sites undergoing
investigation and remediation.
In 1993, capital expenditures for projects related to the environment were
approximately $7 million, compared to $10 million in 1992 and $5 million in
1991. The Company currently forecasts that capital expenditures for
environmental projects will range between $7 and $8 million in each of the next
two years. During 1993, noncapital expenditures for environmental compliance and
protection totaled $40 million of which $18 million was for recurring costs
associated with managing hazardous substances and pollution in on-going
operations and $22 million was for investigation and remediation efforts at
other sites. Similar noncapital expenditures were $42 million and $37 million in
1992 and 1991, respectively. It is presently expected that noncapital
environmental expenditures will continue at current levels for the next several
years.
10
13
The nature of environmental investigation and cleanup activities often
makes it difficult to determine the timing and amount of any estimated future
costs that may be required for remedial measures. However, the Company reviews
these matters and accrues for costs associated with the remediation of
environmental pollution when it becomes probable that a liability has been
incurred and its proportionate share of the amount can be reasonably estimated.
The Company's consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 1993 reflects accruals
of $76 million for remediation costs.
The effect of resolution of environmental matters on results of operations
cannot be predicted due to the uncertainty concerning both the amount and timing
of future expenditures and future results of operations. The Company will
continue its efforts to mitigate past and future costs through pursuit of claims
for insurance and for reimbursement under various government contracts.

Contingencies and Uncertainties, beginning on page 24 of this report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the accounts of the parent company and its majority-owned subsidiaries.
REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Generally, sales are recorded when products are
shipped or services are rendered. Sales and income under most government fixed
price and fixed price incentive production type contracts are recorded as
deliveries are made. For contracts where relatively few deliverable units are
produced over a period of more than two years, revenue and income are recognized
at the completion of measurable tasks rather than upon delivery of the
individual units. Sales under cost reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs
are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs
incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. Certain government contracts
contain cost or performance incentive provisions which provide for increased or
decreased fees or profits based upon actual performance against established
targets or other criteria. Penalties and cost incentives are considered in
estimated sales and profit rates. Performance incentives are recorded when
measurable or when awards are made and provisions for estimated losses on
contracts are recorded when such losses become evident.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS -- The Company expenses, on a current basis, recurring
costs associated with managing hazardous substances and pollution in ongoing
operations. The Company also accrues for costs associated with the remediation
of environmental pollution when it becomes probable that a liability has been
incurred and its proportionate share of the amount can be reasonably estimated.
INVENTORIES -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
GenCorp Automotive and GenCorp Polymer Products segments use the last-in,
first-out method. The Aerojet segment uses the average cost method. Foreign
operations use the first-in, first-out method.
Work-in-process on fixed price contracts includes direct costs and overhead
less the estimated average cost of deliveries. Appropriate general and
administrative costs are allocated to government and certain other contracts.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Refurbishment costs are capitalized in the
property accounts whereas ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as
incurred. Gains or losses from disposals are reflected in income. Depreciation
for financial reporting is computed principally by accelerated methods for the
Aerojet segment and by the straight-line method for the remainder of the
Company.
GOODWILL -- The excess of purchase price over the value of net assets
acquired is included in other assets and is amortized generally on a
straight-line basis over a 40-year period or less.
INCOME TAXES -- Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences
between financial statement and taxable income.
HEDGING INSTRUMENTS -- The Company periodically enters into interest rate
swap agreements in the management of interest rate exposure. The differential to
be paid is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over the life of
the agreements. The notional amounts of swap agreements are matched with a
related underlying liability and as such are not subject to lower of cost or
market value accounting.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS -- For the purposes of the statement of cash flows,
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less are considered to be cash equivalents.
EARNINGS PER SHARE -- Primary earnings per share of common stock is
calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. For fully diluted earnings per share, both net income and
shares outstanding have been adjusted as if the Company's $115,000,000 8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 2002 had been converted. (See
Note I on page 22 of this report for further information regarding the
debentures.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS
RENEER FILMS CORPORATION
On July 19, 1993, the Company purchased Reneer Films Corporation from
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for approximately $26 million. Reneer Films'
principal business is the manufacture and distribution of vinyl woodgrain
laminates for furniture and consumer electronics and clear plastic films. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and accordingly, the operating results have been
included in the Company's financial results since the date of acquisition. The
acquisition cost approximated the fair value of assets acquired.
HENNIGES ELASTOMER-UND KUNSTSTOFFTECHNIK GMBH & CO. KG
On July 21, 1993, the Company purchased a 24.5 percent interest in HENNIGES
Elastomer- und Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG (HEK) and its related companies
for approximately $18 million. HEK's principal business is the manufacture and
distribution of engineered molded and extruded rubber products for the major
German original equipment automotive manufacturers. The investment is accounted
for by the equity method. The acquisition agreement grants the seller the option
to require GenCorp to purchase all remaining interest in HEK and grants GenCorp
the option to acquire all remaining interest in HEK at stated intervals through
2003. The purchase price of the remaining interest in HEK will be determined by
a performance related formula set forth in the acquisition agreement.
NOTE C -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
Research and Development (R&D) expense was $45 million in 1993 and $36
million in 1992 and 1991. R&D expense includes the costs of technical activities
that are useful in developing new products, services, processes or techniques,
as well as those expenses that may significantly improve existing products or
processes.
Additional R&D expenditures which are funded under government contracts
totaled $112 million in 1993, $166 million in 1992 and $174 million in 1991.

The balance sheet reflects deferred income taxes of $37 million and $38
million in prepaid expenses at November 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Included in other long-term assets for 1993 and 1992 are deferred income taxes
of $13 million and $9 million, respectively. Pretax income of foreign
subsidiaries was $18 million in 1993, $25 million in 1992 and $12 million in
1991. Cash paid during the year for income taxes was $79 million in 1993, $25
million in 1992 and $14 million in 1991.
The Company presently follows the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (APB 11) to account for income
taxes. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (SFAS 109) which supersedes APB 11. Adoption by the Company will be
required by fiscal year 1994.
The recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities
differs significantly under SFAS 109 and APB 11. Under SFAS 109, the liability
method is used in accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. Under APB 11, income tax expense is determined using the deferred
method. Deferred tax expense is based on items of income and expense that are
reported in different years in the financial statements and tax returns and are
measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference originated.
The Company will implement SFAS 109 in the first quarter of 1994 as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. Application of the
new standard will reduce equity by approximately $12 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
NOTE E -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
In June 1993, the Company extended its agreement with a financial
institution to sell, with limited recourse, $60 million of undivided fractional
interests in a pool of approximately $100 million of eligible accounts
receivable through June 1994. This represents a $10 million increase from the
prior agreement. Under the agreement, new receivables are sold as collections
reduce previously sold receivables. The Company has retained collection and
administrative responsibilities as agent for the purchaser and has established
an allowance for doubtful accounts for such receivables based on expected
collectibility. Accounts receivable as shown in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
at November 30, 1993 and 1992 are net of $60 million and $50 million,
respectively, representing the interests in receivables sold under this
agreement.
Unbilled receivables of $9 million and $16 million at November 30, 1993 and
1992, respectively, relating to long-term government contracts are included in
accounts receivable from the U.S. Government. Such amounts are billed either
upon delivery of completed units or settlement of contracts. The unbilled
receivables amount at November 30, 1993 includes $2 million expected to be
collected in fiscal year 1994, and $7 million expected to be collected in
subsequent years.
At year end, the amount of commercial and U.S. government receivables were
$88 million and $78 million for 1993 and $92 million and $64 million for 1992,
respectively.

Aerojet segment inventories applicable to government and other contracts
include general and administrative costs. The total of such costs incurred in
1993 and 1992 was $127 million and $130 million, respectively, and the amounts
in inventory at the end of those years are estimated at $27 million and $37
million, respectively. These estimates are based on costs being removed from
inventories on a basis proportional to the amounts of each cost element
projected through completion of the contract.
Inventories using the LIFO method represented 78 percent of consolidated
inventories at replacement cost at November 30, 1993 and 1992.
NOTE G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans which cover
substantially all salaried and hourly employees. Normal retirement age generally
is 65, but certain plan provisions allow for earlier retirement. The Company's
funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of federal law. The
pension plans provide for pension benefits, the amounts of which are calculated

The assumptions used in calculating the present value of the accrued
defined benefit pension plan benefits and pension cost at November 30, 1993,
1992 and 1991 and for the years then ended were determined in consultation with
the Company's actuary. Excluding a variable annuity program with an interest
assumption of 8 percent and assets at November 30, 1993 of $730 million, the
weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets for all plans was 9
percent for all years presented. The assumed discount rate was 8 percent and the
assumed rate of increase in salaried compensation levels was 5 percent in all
years presented. Benefits under the hourly plans are not based on wages.
Therefore, no benefit escalation assumption beyond negotiated increases is
provided. During 1993, the Company modified its turnover assumption to reflect
past and anticipated future experience. This change decreased 1993 pension cost
by $5 million. There was no material impact on the projected benefit obligation.
The majority of the Company's plan assets are invested in short-term
investments, listed stocks and bonds.

The Company also sponsors a number of defined contribution pension plans.
Participation in one of these plans is available to substantially all salaried
employees and to certain groups of hourly employees. Company contributions to
these plans are based on either a percentage of employee contributions or on a
specified

amount per hour based on the provisions of each plan. The cost of these plans
was $14 million in 1993, $15 million in 1992 and $14 million in 1991.
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company currently provides
certain health care and life insurance benefits to most retired employees with
varied coverage by employee group. The cost of retiree health care and life
insurance benefits is currently recognized as an expense as benefits are paid.
These pretax costs totaled $21 million in 1993, $20 million in 1992 and $18
million in 1991.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106 "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106) requires
the Company to account for these costs under the accrual method of accounting.
The Company will take a one-time charge against earnings on December 1, 1993
when it implements SFAS 106.
The Company's after-tax charge for postretirement benefits will be $196
million, compared to the previously disclosed range of $280 to $385 million.
This after-tax charge includes the impact of the recent cost-sharing program
announced to employees and retirees in 1993. The Company expects that its 1994
after-tax expense for postretirement benefits should approximate projected cash
expenditures for the same period. Any increase in expense is expected to range
between zero and $4 million as compared to the previously disclosed estimated
range of $13 to $44 million.
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits". The standard, which must be adopted by 1995, requires
postemployment benefits such as workers' compensation and supplemental
unemployment benefits to be accounted for on the accrual basis rather than the
cash basis. The Company currently uses the accrual method for most of these
benefits and, therefore, does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on the Company's reported financial condition or
results of operations.

On April 1, 1992, the Company entered into a three-year $450 million
unsecured revolving credit facility. Unused revolving lines of credit currently
aggregate $150 million. The Company pays commitment fees of 3/8 of one percent
on the unused balance. Interest rates are variable, primarily based on LIBOR,
and are currently at an average rate of 4.3 percent.
The revolving loan contains various debt restrictions and provisions
relating to net worth and interest coverage ratios. The Company is required to
maintain consolidated net worth of not less than $222 million excluding the
impact of the implementation of new accounting standards. The revolving loan
expires April 1995 and is extendable for up to two additional years at the
option of the Company and with the approval of the banks.
The Company has interest rate swap agreements covering a notional amount of
$75 million, which expire in 1995. The semi-annual settlement rates for these
agreements are calculated as a spread between a fixed annual rate of 9.5 percent
and the six month floating LIBOR rate.
During the third quarter of 1992, the Company issued $115 million of 8%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 2002 (Debentures). The
Debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at
any time on or after August 10, 1996. The Debentures are convertible at any time
prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed, into shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $16.065 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of
approximately 62.247 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of
Debentures) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The quoted market
value of the Debentures was $129 million at November 30, 1993.
At November 30, 1993, the Company had borrowed $22 million of its $25
million unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit with several banks for short-term
borrowings. Borrowings under such lines generally bear interest at money market
rates and are payable on demand. The Company also had outstanding letters of
credit of $47 million at November 30, 1993.
Cash paid during the year for interest was $28 million in 1993, $33 million
in 1992 and $41 million in 1991. Interest expense in 1993, 1992 and 1991
includes imputed interest of $9 million in each year on the present value of the
postretirement benefit liability established in conjunction with the sale of a
discontinued operation.
NOTE J -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The balance sheet includes various current and long-term reserves relating
to operations discontinued in prior years. Those reserves include estimates for
postretirement benefits (General Tire), environmental matters (Lawrence, MA and
Muskegon, MI) and other accrued liabilities (RKO General). The reserves for
discontinued operations were $30 million and $26 million of current liabilities
and $96 million and $107 million of other long-term liabilities as of November
30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

NOTE K -- PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
In 1987, the Directors declared a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase
Right (Right) on each outstanding share of common stock, payable to shareholders
of record on February 27, 1987. Rights outstanding at November 30, 1993 and 1992
were 31,729,858 and 31,729,205, respectively. The Shareholder Rights Plan, as
amended effective December 1987, provides that under certain circumstances each
Right will entitle shareholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a new
Series A Cumulative Preference Stock at an exercise price of $100. The Rights
will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of
GenCorp's common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer that will result
in such person or group acquiring 30 percent or more of the common stock.
GenCorp will be entitled to redeem the Rights at two cents per Right at any time
until ten days after a 20 percent position has been acquired (unless the Board
elects to extend such time period, which in no event may exceed thirty days). If
the Company is involved in certain transactions after the Rights become
exercisable, a holder of Rights (other than Rights beneficially owned by a
shareholder who has acquired 20 percent or more of GenCorp's common stock, which
Rights become void) is entitled to buy a number of the acquiring company's
common shares, or GenCorp's common stock, as the case may be, having a market
value of twice the exercise price of each Right. A potential dilutive effect may
exist upon the exercise of the Rights. The Rights will expire February 18, 1997.
Until a Right is exercised, the holder will have no rights as a stockholder of
the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder or
to receive dividends.
Effective November 25, 1987, the Board authorized a reserve of 325,000
shares of $1 par value Series A Cumulative Preference Stock for issuance upon
exercise of Preferred Share Purchase Rights.
NOTE L -- LONG-TERM COMPENSATION PLANS
The GenCorp Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan provides for an aggregate of
2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be purchased pursuant to stock
options or to be subject to stock appreciation rights (SARs) which may be
granted to selected officers and key employees at prices equal to the market
value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. In 1993, the Company
granted options to purchase 501,575 shares of common stock at purchase prices
ranging from $16.00 per share to $16.625 per share. The options are exercisable
in 25 percent increments at six months, one year, two years and three years from
date of grant. None of the options are exercisable prior to March 10, 1994. No
stock appreciation rights have been granted. Shares available for future grant
were 2,003,925 at November 30, 1993, including 5,500 shares from forfeited
options.
The Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (SIC Plan) adopted in 1983 is based
on a formula which values incentive awards payable in cash or stock based upon
changes in the market value of the Company's common stock. The SIC Plan is
compensatory, and compensation expense was $5 million in 1993 and $3 million in
1992 and 1991. The liability for accrued stock incentive compensation was $15
million and $12 million at November 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Pursuant to the SIC Plan, no awards may be granted after March 1, 1993 and
the Company granted no incentive unit shares during 1993. The Company granted
443,000 incentive unit shares during 1992 and 383,000 during 1991.
NOTE M -- LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company and its subsidiaries lease certain manufacturing plant
facilities, machinery and equipment and office buildings under long-term,
noncancelable leases. The leases generally provide for renewal options ranging
from five to ten years and require the Company to pay for utilities, insurance,
taxes and maintenance. Rent expense was $14 million in 1993, $15 million in 1992
and $17 million in 1991. Future minimum commitments at November 30, 1993 for
existing operating leases were $39 million with annual amounts declining from $9
million in 1994 to $3 million in 1998. The Company's current obligation for
leases after 1998 is $7 million.

NOTE N -- CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Sacramento, California -- In June 1989, the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California approved entry of a Partial Consent
Decree (Decree) which partially settled environmental litigation initiated
against Aerojet and its inactive subsidiary, Cordova Chemical Company, by the
State of California (State) and the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as a result of the release of chemicals at Aerojet's Sacramento,
California facility prior to 1980.
Aerojet is conducting a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) of
the Sacramento site under the Decree and will prepare an RI/FS report on
specific environmental conditions present at the site and alternatives available
to remedy such conditions. The Decree does not require Aerojet to perform final
remedial measures at the site.
The Decree provides that, during the period 1989 through 1994, Aerojet will
pay an aggregate of $5.4 million to (i) resolve civil monetary claims of the
State and (ii) reimburse the State and the EPA for their past costs incurred in
connection with the environmental matters at the Sacramento site. Aerojet has
paid $4.8 million through November 30, 1993 toward this obligation.
Additionally, Aerojet is required to pay for certain costs associated with
government monitoring of Aerojet's compliance with the Decree.
In 1990, the United States government settled Aerojet's claims for
reimbursement of a portion of environmental costs incurred at the site prior to
July 1989 for $37 million. The 1990 settlement requires that the United States
will receive credit equal to 50 percent of any insurance recovery that Aerojet
may receive in respect of costs covered by the settlement, except amounts paid
conditionally or under a reservation of the insurers' rights or claims.
In September 1993, Aerojet reached a second settlement with the United
States government on its claim to recover a portion of environmental restoration
costs incurred, or to be incurred, after June 1989 ("covered costs"). Under the
terms of the 1993 settlement, covered costs recovered by Aerojet for the period
July 1989 through November 1992 total approximately $18 million. This recovery
was accomplished through the government's release of rights to funds held by
Aerojet. The settlement also provides that 65 percent of covered costs incurred
after November 1992, net of insurance recoveries, will be added to the pricing
of government contracts.
As in the case of the first settlement, Aerojet agreed to dismiss its
contract claim before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals and also to
release its claim under the "Superfund" law against the United States in federal
district court for recovery of costs covered by the settlement.
Prior to the 1993 settlement, Aerojet recognized for accounting purposes an
expected minimum recovery from the United States government for 50 percent of
covered costs incurred after June 1989. Aerojet assessed that a recovery was
probable based on both the 1990 settlement and then current negotiations
regarding a second settlement. Accordingly, $9 million of the $18 million
recovered in September reduced a receivable. In addition, as a result of
knowledge obtained in the continuing RI/FS process, Aerojet recorded a $9
million reserve in the fourth quarter of 1993 for its share of the currently
identifiable remediation costs.
Aerojet is in the process of completing the RI/FS which is designed to
determine the extent of the contamination and feasible remediation efforts.
Aerojet has a reserve of approximately $22 million, including the $9 million
reserve described above, for its expected share of future environmental costs to
complete the RI/FS and for currently identifiable remediation. However, until
the RI/FS process is substantially completed, Aerojet will not be able to
determine the ultimate costs or the duration of time for the final remediation
effort.
24
27
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Legal proceedings to obtain reimbursement of environmental response costs
from insurers are continuing. However, Aerojet presently cannot estimate either
the total amount of such costs that may be incurred at the site or the recovery
that may be obtained under any policy.
Lawrence, Massachusetts -- The Company has completed a study of remediation
alternatives for its closed Lawrence, Massachusetts facility, which was
contaminated with PCBs, and has begun site remediation and off-site disposal of
debris. A reserve of $32 million has been provided for the decontamination and
the long-term operating and maintenance costs of this site. The reserve
represents the Company's best estimate at present for the eventual remediation
cost. The study indicated that the remediation cost could range as high as $56
million depending on the results of future testing and the ultimate remediation
alternatives undertaken at the site. The time frame for remediation is currently
estimated to range from 6 to 10 years.
Muskegon, Michigan -- Aerojet and its two inactive Cordova Chemical
subsidiaries (Cordova) have been involved in litigation regarding a former
Cordova facility in Muskegon, Michigan, where the EPA has conducted an RI/FS.
The United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan previously
ruled that Aerojet and Cordova were liable with a former owner/operator of the
site for remediation at the facility. Separately, the State of Michigan Court of
Claims previously ruled that the State of Michigan is obligated to indemnify
Cordova for remediation costs which it incurs at the site. These rulings have
been appealed to the Sixth Circuit United States Court of Appeals and the
Michigan Court of Appeals, respectively. Aerojet and Cordova expect to prevail
on these appeals. On a related matter, in May 1993 the U.S. EPA terminated,
without resolution, two orders issued in 1990 and 1991 to Cordova and other
parties to perform site remediation.
Final remediation costs for groundwater and soils cannot presently be
determined, but could range from $50 million to $100 million, depending on the
remediation methods ultimately required. Furthermore, the Company believes that
most of the remediation costs will be paid by the former owner/operator and that
its $6 million reserve along with probable insurance recoveries of approximately
$9 million will be adequate to cover the Company's costs and expenses associated
with this matter.
Toledo, Ohio -- In 1992, the Company signed a Consent Decree with the State
of Ohio relative to the remediation of PCBs at its formerly owned Toledo, Ohio
facility. A remediation plan for the removal of the PCBs under the Consent
Decree was submitted to the State for review in January 1994. The Company
believes that its established reserves of $4 million will be adequate to cover
all future costs and expenses associated with this matter.
San Gabriel Valley Basin, California -- Aerojet's Azusa facility is one of
a large number of potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in the portion of the
San Gabriel Valley Superfund Site known as the Baldwin Park Operable Unit
(BPOU). Regulatory action is proceeding on two tracks: specific site
investigation and cleanup, supervised by the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board under delegation from the EPA, and regional groundwater
remediation, under the direct control of the EPA.
Aerojet is conducting an investigation of its current and historical
properties in Azusa pursuant to a work plan negotiated with the Regional Board
and EPA. Also, the EPA has issued a groundwater remediation plan for the BPOU,
estimated to cost $47 million in non-recurring costs and $4 to $5 million in
annual operating expense. There have been no negotiations to date concerning
allocation of potential remediation costs among PRPs and other parties.
Aerojet's environmental response costs in the San Gabriel Basin are being
allowed by the government in the pricing of Aerojet's contracts. As a result,
management does not believe, on the basis of presently available information,
that resolution of this matter will materially affect the consolidated financial
condition of the Company. Additionally, Aerojet has filed suit against its
insurers for recovery of such costs.
Other Sites -- The Company is also currently involved, together with other
companies, in 19 other sites on the National Priority List under the federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(Superfund) and 14 other non-Superfund sites. In many instances, the Company's
liability and
25
28
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
its proportionate share of costs has not been determined largely due to
uncertainties as to the nature and extent of the site conditions, the Company's
involvement and potential recoveries from insurance and other sources. While
government agencies frequently claim potentially responsible parties are jointly
and severally liable at such sites, in the Company's experience, interim and
final allocations of liability costs are generally made based on relative
contributions of waste.
The Superfund sites include such sites as Stringfellow (California);
Organic Chemical (Michigan); Summit National (Ohio); Hardage/Criner (Oklahoma);
Industrial Excess (Ohio); and Solvent Recovery Service of New England
(Connecticut). The non-Superfund sites include such sites as Westbury (New
York); Four County Landfill (Indiana); and Delta Chemical (Pennsylvania). The
Company's allocated share of investigation and remediation costs at a number of
these sites has not yet been determined. Based on the Company's previous
experience, its allocated share has been minimal, in many instances less than 1
percent. The Company, for example, was able to settle 4 sites in 1993 for less
than $200,000. The Company has reserves of $12 million as of November 30, 1993
which it believes are sufficient to cover its best estimate of the environmental
remediation costs at these other sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY
In regard to the sites discussed above, excluding Sacramento, management
does not believe, on the basis of presently available information, that
resolution of these matters will materially affect the consolidated financial
condition of the Company. The effect of resolution of these matters on results
of operations cannot be predicted due to the uncertainty concerning both the
amount and timing of future expenditures and future results of operations.
OTHER LEGAL MATTERS
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions,
governmental investigations, and proceedings relating to a wide range of matters
in addition to those discussed above. In the opinion of management, after
reviewing the information which is currently available with respect to such
matters and consulting with the Company's counsel, any liability which may
ultimately be incurred with respect to these additional matters will not
materially affect the consolidated financial condition of the Company. The
effect of these matters on results of operations cannot be predicted because any
such effect depends on both future results of operations and the amount and
timing of the resolution of such matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors of GenCorp Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GenCorp
Inc. as of November 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements
of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended November 30, 1993. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedules listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
GenCorp Inc. at November 30, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
November 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note N to the consolidated financial statements,
Aerojet-General Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of GenCorp Inc., and
Cordova Chemical Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aerojet, have been
subject to environmental litigation arising from discharges of chemicals in past
years at Aerojet's Sacramento, California facility. Eventual liabilities of
Aerojet relating to this matter cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
